Chapter Eight
"My mother's usual attitude of noncommittal formality toward her father-in-law warmed to something approaching gratitude or maybe even affection." (p. 94) In the context of the story, what does this mean?
I think that means that Calpurnia's mom has finally gotten used to or learned how to tolerate Calpurnia's grandfather. And she is also becoming fond of him. I love how in this story a lot of relationships that the characters have are growing.
That Calpurnia's mom is starting to feel a better relationship or saying thanks to Grandfather.
