Personal Narrative - Notaro

Does the writer provide an introduction that grabs the reader’s attention?

Part of it, at first what basket? then it talks about family members taking turn taking care for grandpa.

Does the writer focus on significant events in his or her life rather than trying to narrate his or her entire life’s story?

It explains who grandpa is and what he do everyday. He is illness, can't do much but ignoring nurse's order and been off to do what he wants to do. Its fun how the story goes with food for the animals where nana gets crazy about that.

Do the descriptions of the characters or important objects in the memoirs include sensory details that help readers to visualize, hear, smell or feel them?

Yes, I could imagine because it normally does happen everytime when your not pay attention to food expire dates. With this story hoping the animals would get food. The smells wasn't much describing but the slight of ants I could imagine that as well too. The hearing was kinda hard to tell, but they had been hearing intescts been for the moldy food.

Has the writer quoted speech or dialogue so as to reveal some important aspect of a character’s personality?

Yes, Most of it was about grandpa how they were been up to. Their personalities reveals who they are.

Does the writer narrate or describe events in a way that allows readers to connect them to experiences or relationships in their own lives?

Pretty much, my grandpa kinda just like him. Really the most of all, he hates animals and wants to live peacefully which means no creatures allows around. at all. It was pretty much hard time when your trying to do things right way what they wants you to do. At least the outcome would be the same results if you do that way and grandpa wants that way to be done... Over time things get better, there always room for improvement and better strategy. Just like at grocery store, I see customers complains at workers.

Has the writer explained the significance of the people, events, places, or objects in shaping who he or she has become? Does this explanation make sense in relation to the events, people, places, and things described throughout the memoir?

Pretty much yes

Does the writer provide a conclusion that reinforces the point of the story?

Yeah, grandpa wants his own ways even if nana get angry about that. Thats how he rolls. Like my grandpa love beers, he would drink six beers a day. Until one day grandma get angry at him drinking beer all the times and lock up the refrigeator. Thats big time troubles, wishing I was never in middle of that when I needs something to drink and he told me, "one beer please." Grandma would kick me as well too for giving him a beer, haha.
