In the story the grandmother was firm in her beliefs of British rule, even making public protests and comments. The grandmother appeared to be a strong, independent woman in this aspect. When it comes to her personal life and thoughts to her husband do you think she can still be considered a strong woman? why or why not?
I feel that both of the grandparents were imprisoned because they were strong in their faith and protested what the law taught. I really don't know exactly why they went to jail other than causing a disturbance and making a production of what their beliefs were. The grandmother was the one who spoke agianst the law or the understood law, and this is why she was charged with disturbing the peace and causing a ruckuss. I am sure that the grandfather did the same just was put in jail later.
Do you think reading her grandmother letters made her feel closer to her, even though she never met her? Do you think those letters define the type of person that her grandmother was?
I do believe that the letters made the narrator feel closer to her grandmother. In one part of the story the narrator could relate to her grandmother. I also believe that the letters that her grandmother wrote defined who she was as a person. For example, when she wrote to her husband about the day their baby got christened, how she came across her father's brother. He poked fun at her by asking/saying "So you don't believe in Britsh rule?" She felt as though she should have slapped him. This tells the readers that she stands for what she believes in and in the letter that she wrote to her husband clearly showed what kind of person she is: a strong woman with strong beliefs.
I think that both the grandmother and grandfather were imprisomed for the same reasons. The story says that the grandmother was imprisoned for disturbing the peace, but for years she led marches, speeches, and nonviolent demonstrations. The grandfather even published her little texts in his journal that was run. I believe that the British actually imprisoned her because over the years, they became threated by her and the crowds she led, and later her new husband became a target of the British. The British probably imprisoned many on false charges if their system did not agree with the issues represented.
The grandmother was charged by the British for disturbing the peace. She stood firm for her beliefs,and held marches and speeches that reached and moved many. Obviously, the British clearly didn't accept other beliefs other than British rule that cost her two and a half years. The grandfather probably was imprisoned for reasons related with his association of his beliefs and publications.

What do you think was the main reason for grandmother to be imprisoned? And do you think that grandfather was imprisoned because of the same reason?
