My mother at time was out most of the night and not able to get me up and ready early in the morning. When I finished the sixth grade( which I shouldn’t of) I asked my grandparents if I could live with them. They were more then thrilled to have me.

She didn’t whine or moan or stamp her feet.” From this example, it seems that the society did not affect Liesel’s good nature, although as we have already learned, it had made her angry, even more of a reason for wanting to do right.
My grandmother and I had a great relationship where I could tell her anything, we could go shopping or out to eat together. Whenever I got in trouble my grandmother was always there to reprimand me, but also be kind and caring and assure me that she still cared and loved me even though I was in trouble.
