Notaro..

 "There is a box of Twinkies in that grocery store, not just any box of Twinkies, the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Someday very soon, life's little Twinkie guage is going to go...empty." - Tallahassee, Zombieland


Okay, back to the narrative... 



  • The introduction told us of how he was chosen for this task and why he needed to do it. It was necessary to the story to explain all this. The first line is quite grabbing. Especially "it was my turn." That grabs your attention because it's a bit daunting. 
  • this is definitely a singular event, he only references past events that are specifically related to the story. 
  • He gives some good description that makes you see exactly what he is describing, I could picture it all perfectly. 
  • The dialogue was well used, it helped make understanding the characters much easier. 
  • The fact that he is helping a slightly crazed relative could probably be relate-able to most people. I know I've had to help my grandparents on the farm in some pretty interesting situations, but I don't think any were quite as memorable as this would be. 
  • this was really just a recollection of an event. The author doesn't really describe how that has effected the person he has/had become. 
  • It provided a humorous ending to the anecdote, but it wasn't enforcing a moral or understanding the story.
