You can always tell a chapter that Grandma is writing from her typewriter because she puts two spaces after each period, infuriating the Punctuation Patrol. Doorknobs and keys…hmm, might have to think about that one.įoer employs other visual techniques with his text, too. These likely belonged to Oskar's grandfather, who took photos of all the doorknobs in the apartment before moving out. Why don't we get to see their faces? They don't want to be tagged on Facebook?Īnd occasionally we're treated to a photo of a doorknob. We also get to see a few photos of the Blacks Oskar encounters, like the back of Abby Black's head and the back of her husband's head too. There are pictures of keys, paper airplanes, and Hamlet, which all relate to Oskar's life, but what about cavemen, a French astronaut, and a tennis player? Most of the images we see come from Oskar's binder, which he calls Stuff That Happened to Me, even though most of the things didn't happen to him at all. We're talking about how he uses actual photographs in the text to illustrate Oskar's adventure, making this our favorite illustrated book since Bunnicula. It was from Oskar’s Grandpa.By saying Foer's writing style is visual, we don't mean that Jonathan Safran Foer uses incredibly vivid imagery (although he does). When Grandma got back to her apartment, the doorman said there was a letter for her. Grandma could tell Oskar knew something was wrong. Grandma went over to Oskar’s apartment to keep him company before his mom got home. She was so upset she had to go to the bathroom to vomit. Grandma described how she felt when she realized that her son was in one of the towers that was hit. It was all about the day the planes hit the twin towers. The next chapter seemed to be like a letter from Grandma to Oskar. But it was then taken from the island and placed on Manhattan. The park was in the center of the island. The myth also stated that Central Park is said to have been on the Sixth Borough. Because the island was drifting away from mainland, there was no real way people could contact those on the island. As time went by, the island drifted farther and farther away from Manhattan.
It’s story about an island that was separated from Manhattan. The next chapter in this section is all about the Sixth Borough, a story Oskar’s father told him. He never found them and went to a refugee camp to get help. After he got out of the hospital, he went on a search for his family and for Anna. The bombing began again, and when he woke up, he was in the hospital. As he was walking to her house, he saw many horrors. After the first bomb, he went on a search to find Anna. Soon after, the bombings of Dresden began. Anna had just told him that she was pregnant. Oskar’s Grandpa begins his letter talking about Anna. This section of the book starts out with a letter from Oskar’s Grandpa to his Dad, Thomas.
