Oskar's grandma says something interesting when he offers to get her magazines like he used to do: "I told him to bring a suitcase so he could come back with one of everything." She follows this up by stating: "I wanted him to be able to take his things with him." What does this reveal?
What parallels do you see between the reactions she has when the grandfather is thinking of leaving and those she has when she is leaving her father to die?
What is the significance of her dream that is interspersed here?
Why didn't she say anything to him before about him seeing Oskar?
Why does he bury the letters?
What message is this chapter (which is a letter to Oskar) trying to get through to Oskar?
