This set piece I have made has 2 literary devices: Dialog and 3rd person view. I picked this part of my story because it shows the amount of love and serious thing that have happened in this situation, and I talk about my grandma having leukemia and some of the dialog the characters talked abt when this important moment happened in my familys life.

 

The family wasn’t so happy with this knews it was strong leukemia that could have killed my grandma that night

but she had a lot of faith in herself and she tried to fight it because she wanted to be happy with her family. She always

would make jokes during her sickness she would only think about positive things not negative stuff. She would

always say,

“If I die it is meant to be that I will be ok and happy.”

My grandma and us all have a very strong faith in god so when my grandma had leukemia she thought if god takes

He needs me there with him. After 2 years of trying to fight this leukemia my grandma passed away in the hospital. My family knew that she was going to pass that day because she wasn’t herself. She just smiled at my mom holding her hand. My mom was crying. She had no words left to speak.

 My grandma took her last breath and that was it no more. My grandpa started to cry for the first time. My mom and aunt were in tears. It was one of their parents and they were gone.

 

“It should have been me.”  He said.

 

“Dad, don't say that.” My mom said

 

“I have to say she should have been here for your kids, it really should have just been me.” He said.

 

 

My mom didn’t want to bother him because he had his own feelings because his love just passed away. My Grandpa wasn’t the same. He became more sad and took a year to heal from her passing. When I was born my Grandpa took care of me just like my grandma would do. Over all the things he has gone through in his life I can’t compare to anyone else. His love for his wife, and the love for his family will always be in my heart and others.
