Grapes...
This your forum for discussion. Although I will toss in questions, I will expect you to be the main contributors to the blog. You are expected to post and comment at least twice (1x each) every time we are in the lab as a class. Naturally, you are required to keep comments germane to the novel and to treat your classmates' opinions with respect. Have fun.

i think you're crazy...
I think it was gross, but it shows how dedicated Ma is to the family.
but i do agree, that's crazy. I think that the whole feeling of the era was doing what was necessary. I think it also shows that death was just a normal thing and people were desensitized to it.
OMG i know totally worng...who does that!
Kamerant, she didn't so it cause she's weird or something, she did it because she felt that she had to to get the family into California.
I don't think the border guard or whoever that was would have let them cross if granma was dead. Maybe that's why she did what she did.
While it is disgusting to have a decomposing body (factor in the time and heat) ma did what was right. The family has suffered so much, and ma was spending a last few moments with granma. However gross it may seem, there was some meaning behind it.
i think that there are many reasons that ma laid that whole time with grandma becuase she if she told the family that grandma was dead it would up set the family and they would have to talk time to stop and burry grandma and that would take up time that they needed to travel. Another reason i feel is that she spent the whole time lying with grandma is becuase she didn't want to have to admit to her self that she was dead
I think it took incredible strength to do what she did. Still, eww.
Yeah I did think this was one of the weirder part of the book. I could not imagine doing that, ew!!
It was gross but it just shows the dedication that Ma had to the family and how much she wanted to get the family to California. It also shows how hard those times were and the desperation of the time.
