The third section of reading was long and rich with detail. A lot of back story, and it becomes hard to keep track of. Anna died in the bombings of Dresden, which explains why Oskar's grandfather was so upset about her. Also, Oskar's grandmother, it turns out, isn't blind, and can see. She says that she only said that her eyes were crummy so her husband would pay attention to her. She didn't even want all the magazines, she only said she wanted them to make him feel needed. And her life story, written on a thousand pages was all spaces. This makes it pretty awkward when her husband is pretending to read it and she knows nothing is there.
A lot of stories are unfolding in front of us, and I'm excited to see how they turn out.
