Finally figured the blog out! These were my orginal questions before we discussed them:


   In section one, there is a long section where the narrator completely changes. I was confused on the rapid change. Before finding out it was Oskar's grandfather, I thought it could have been Stephen Hawkens. Oskar was really intrigued by Hawken's biography, so the possibility of that chapter being a piece out of Hawken's book made a little bit of sense.
   Osker also seems to be a very intelligent kid. He holds random facts really well, which is quite impressive. On page 41, Oskar does some math to figure out how long it would take him to open every lock in NY. He says, "... if a baby is born in New York every 50 seconds, and each person has 18 locks, a new lock is created in New York every 2.777 seconds." Oskar's ability to hold these detailed facts will be what helps him find the locks in the long run. His main key will be the details he is able to observe and hold onto.
