    6. The traditions are alike because they both care about the tradition and enjoy it. They are different because the quilt story was a quilt tradition and grandma records was a music tradition.

    6. The traditions from The Keeping Quilt and Grandmas Records are similar because they both pass something on to the next person. They are different because they pass on different things. One passes on a quilt and one passes on a record.

    In Grandma's Records, her favorite song was special because it reminded her of her husband. She put her hand over her heart and sang along. Also her favorite band played this song in a show.

    4. When the author writes ' grandma wrapped me in a world of music' he means the grandma always played music for the boy and they liked to dance together. There was always music playing for him when he came for summer vacation. The always talked about music too.

    I learned that if something is special to someone or a family you pass it one to a nother so that the next person and that person's kids get to see or listen to them to.

  14. 2 Eric learned that grandma's favorite song is loved by everybody because it is about leaving behind the ones you love by moving. I have learned from my family to not be rued and be caring and nice.


    3 Grandma's favorite song is special because it is about leaviing the ones you love by moving and when you play the song it helps you rember your family. When grandma hears the song she puts her hand over her heart and sings.
