One more personal narrative - Notaro

The writer grabbed my attention with the introduction.  Notaro only focused on running errands with his grandfather since he wasn’t allowed to drive any longer. The writer did a great job to help visualizing characters.  There is quoted speech that shows the grandfather’s feelings. The story did remind me of my grandfather had cancer and I was helping my grandparents out in the summer break.  I don’t think the author explained the significance of the people, events, places, or objects in shaping who he/she became. You can tell that the experience was having an impact on the author’s life though. The conclusion does not reinforce the point of the story in my opinion.
