Question

The narrator finds his grandmother propped up in bed and notes her striking, craggy features and flowing white hair that give her a surprisingly youthful look. She brightens when she sees him, calls him "Mike," reaches for his hands, and he notices how fragile and smooth they feel. She talks about watching birds at a feeder, though when he looks there is only a parking lot and cars. She praises his coat, and the narrator feels uneasy, unsure whether her warmth is due to sudden clarity or loneliness.

Answer 1

He finds his grandmother propped up in bed—craggy features and white hair making her oddly youthful. She brightens, calls him “Mike,” clasps his fragile hands, talks about birds though only a parking lot is visible, and praises his coat; he wonders if her warmth is sudden clarity or loneliness.
