We have just finished reading A Visit With Grandpa by Mildred Pitts Walters. It is a realistic fiction story that takes place on the grandpa's ranch in Missouri. She gave us information about black cowboys and how they help pave the way for many other cowboys. I especially liked how the grandpa in the story showed his grandson Justin how to complete what he (meaning Justin)called "Women's work". It made me think of a time when my own grandmother showed me how to mow the lawn what many feel is "Men's work". As the grandpa in the story said, "Everything's easy when you know how" and after learning how to mow the lawn it really was easy.
What were your thoughts on the story? What type of connection if any did you make with the story?

How it make me feel is happy because justin's grandpa tought justin about cowboy's. AND this story is about justin's grandpa telling justin about a shed and justin's grandpa is telling justin about how justin's grandpa was a cowboy and how he became a cowboy.AND I felt sad because how he was crying.AND the story is about justin's grandpa teaching justin how to ride like a cowboy.your friend jodie wilson

I felt happy when justin saw his grandpa do the things easy.I read more of it,when i read some of it i felt sad because justin grandpa said that when justin was born his grandma died.Justin and his grandpa felt sad too.I liked the story,it was fun.
I feel happy for Justin,because I never got to see my Grandfather He died way before I was born.
Now a about,the story is about a boy going to his Grandfather's house.Justins Grandfather told him to make the bed and to fold his cloths.Justin thought that he could not do it .when he made the bed he thought that it was easy.He told his Grandfather "I don't know how to fold cloths.",so his Gandfather tought him and Justin said 'how did you do that.",his Granfather said" You'll now if you now how.",JUstin tried and he got it so he folded the reast.

I love this book but the only thing i did not like is Justin said work is for wonman but it is not.Sometimes boys do work better than girls and wonman.
