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?

This shows that Oskars grandmother knew what he was going to do, and understood him. She read the signs he was giving, and had the gut feeling that he was going to run, and she understood. To me, it shows how mature she is for doing that, letting someone that has always been by her side, leave. I think this connects to her having to leave her father, because he loved her and new nothing good was going to come of her staying there, so she had to leave him. I think she thought it was best for Oskars grandfather to leave and to not forse him to stay. If he loved her, he would come back. She figured that it probably hurts him to leave but he has his reason to.
