would you agree that the author grandmother was a person strong in character?If yes give instances that show this
Answers
She was a very strong woman who could adapt herself to any new challenging situation. May be she derived that strength from her devotion to God. For example, at the village she single handedly looked after herself and the author. Her real strength came to light when she was called to the city. Her life underwent change; her relationship with the narrator was deeply affected. She became more lonely and forlorn. However, she accepted the changes stoically. When the narrator went abroad, she endured the five year long separation courageously. At the close of her life also, she took a very courageous decision of not talking to any of the family members. She felt she had omitted to pray to God; so she decided to give all her time to praying to God. All the above mentioned examples prove she was a strong lady.
