#1 What do you make of Arnold's relationship with his grandmother? (Chloe W).

Arnold's relationship with his grandmother is already strong considering he had enough confidence to tell her that he punched Roger in the nose, knowing that is not something to do on a regular basis "Grandma,' I said. 'I pushed somebody in the face. And he just walked away. And now I'm afraid that he will kill me'"(Alexie 68).  In addition to listening and not being mad, Arnold's grandmother helps him with not only advice but good advice, and  a reasonable and a true conclusion "'I think it means he respects you'" (Alexie 68).  It is clear that this is not the last time Arnold will come to his grandmother for advice, and their bond as family will make sure of it "I love you, Grandma,'" (Alexie 70).
