Im guessing that the hook is where he mentions his grandmother, and how she is actually dead. she seems to have used story telling as a way to get through anything. He explains how if his grandmother were alive she would be telling those same stories she has for years around the dinner table. i honestly think this story is very boring and didnt hold my interest at all. all he talks about is certain that he falls in love with through the stories. there was “Marie Haggerty, a Massachusetts housemaid who talked about how, when her employer left a $5 bill on the floor” and thanĀ ”Irving Fajins, who while trying to organize his fellow workers at Macy’s hit upon the idea of secretly distributing the union literature via the toilet-paper dispensers.” he explains how the stories were started and have been around for years. he ties it all up by saying how we are in an economic crisis again and story telling is what we need. that this is the help we need. and our president is helping change the future.
