The narrator has developed a close friendship with his grandmother, but he becomes increasingly distant from her after he starts school. There's a clear cultural gulf between the boy and his grandmother, which his education only exacerbates. The boy's learning English, which his grandmother doesn't understand, so he teaches her some words. He also tries to impart little nuggets of Western learning and science, such as the law of gravity and Archimedes's Principle.
