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?

  4. 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.
