Character sketch on grandpa in chapter simon says

Answer 1

Answer:

• I  begin  to  get  the  feeling  that  Christmas  is  around  the corner when  Ma  starts  making the  sweets  and  the  smell  of burnt   sugar  and  baking  fills   the  house.   The   countdown begins and,  every day there is  some new activity-the lights of the  Christmas  tree  to  be  checked  out,  the wiring for the star  to  be  fixed,   the  thatch  of  the  stable  for  the  nativity scene  to  be  mended,  last minute  chopping  of the  dry fruits to  be  done...  Then,  before we  know  
• what  is  happening,  we start   our   rounds   of  carol   singing,   meet   old   friends   and make  new  ones...  Oh,  the  entire  month  is  fun.
• This year,  however,  the first of December announced itself with  an  early morning phone  call.  Ma  shook me  awake  and I looked at her with bleary eyes.  "I have to go to the hospital, Reeta,"   she   said   worriedly.   "Grandpa   has   met  with   an accident." That made  me jump  up.  
• Grandpa  is  my  favourite  person  in  the  world   after  my friend  Latika.  I  can  tell  him  anything,  even  grumble  when I  think  his  daughter,  Ma,  is  being  unfair  to  me.  Because Grandpa  cannot   see,   he  is  never  distracted  when  I   talk and   I   feel   that  he   is  the   only  person  who   gives  me   full attention.  Simon  does  too,  but  that  is  different.
