Question

In at least 100 words, describe the way Granny is characterized in "Granny and the Golden Bridge." Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answer 1

When Manual talks about his granny, he tells us a story about an insane old woman. His grandmother was a vivacious and cheery old woman. She had spent her days cooking amuse the troops of the government that were stationed around the Golden Bridge.

As for why she is insane This part of the text justifies it: "She was crazy," Manual insisted, "because she only charged them for the cost of the food she cooked, and she didn't earn a penny for all that work.“

So, to Manual, making food for the troops was crazy because she didn't earn any money from doing so. This part of the text most likely tell us more about the narrator than about Granny.
