I haven’t commented on Oskar’s relationship with his grandma yet, and I think it is something that I definitely need to talk about. Throughout the book, Oskar and his grandma have had a very good relationship with each other. Throughout Oskar’s life, including his time of sadness after his father’s death, his grandma has always been there for him. Oskar’s grandma lives across the street from them on the same floor of a different apartment building, so they can see each other through their windows. Oskar is constantly talking to his grandma via walkie-talkie, and it appears as if they have a great relationship with each other. I think that this is great for Oskar and that it really is helpful to him throughout his time of mourning. Although he has his mother for support, having another figure that could provide him with the support he needs is amazing and is definitely something that I think can truly be of a great benefit to him. Grandma provides the friendship and support that Oskar needs in his life to get through his hard time, and I really think that losing her would be just like losing his father all over again. With his father gone, Oskar has begun to adopt his grandmother as his other parental figure. I think that it is very interesting how something like this could happen so quickly after a tragedy such as the death of Oskar’s father, but the fact that he has this available to him and has the ability to turn to her for help is great.
