Question

1. in this passage from all good things are surprises, the narrator describes a visit from his grandmother. as you read, consider the limitations of the storys point of view. the evening ida arrived, i made sure to wake her up in the middle of the night so she could give me a midnight snack, a ritual she wouldnt have wanted me to skip. how does the limited point of view create humor in this passage? we know that the narrators grandmother doesnt really love her grandson very much. we know that the narrator probably is lying about waking up his grandmother. we know that the narrators grandmother probably would prefer not to be awakened in the middle of the night. we know that the narrators grandmother will become angry with him eventually.

Answer:

We know that the narrator's grandmother probably would prefer not to be awakened in the middle of the night.
