Princessssss

            The hook really worked for me. The way that he uses a story from his grandmother it was something a lot of people could relate to, almost everyone has a grandparent who tells the same story every time you get together.” I know just what story she would tell: in the mid-1920s, at the height of the Florida land rush, she was working in a real-estate office in Palm Beach. Times were flush and sales were booming”. It also gives just the right amount of back up information about what was going on during the time period of her story that she is always telling. ”I was raised on Depression stories; this was only one of many told around our dinner table”. The specific details that he used to tell this story I feel were needed. This piece had a lot of potential to turn into just a boring rendition of a memory from the olden days; but the way he wrote it was anything but that. “The women quilted and pressed laundry, stitched shoes and danced in burlesque shows. They took in boarders and delivered babies, and when their men ran out on them, they swallowed their pride and threw rent parties”. This was also some details that could help someone learn more about the time period in which the silver dollar story takes place.
