What is the theme of the story in (My grandmother's hair by Cynthia Rylant?)

“Poignant, honest and endearing, My Grandmother’s Hair tells the story of how her art kept Ann Elizabeth Carson alive and showed her the truth as she re-membered and relived the stories her own life embodied. My Grandmother’s Hair delves into personal and social stories about how power is realized and suppressed in the body. This intimate, first person narrative is beautifully rendered in prose, poetry, drawing, painting, sculpture, and interviews with other people.

Explanation:

The tone of any story or narration is the emotion that the writer used to express his/ her feelings towards the scene or event. It helps create the atmosphere and mood of the whole story.

Cynthia Rylant's short one-page narration about her mother's hair is a melancholic, nostalgic account of when she used to play with her grandmother's hair. She remembers when she would "lift a lock of her soft, grey hair and make [my] little pink comb slide through it." She also recalls how they would talk about their shared interests, be it "cats, baking-powder biscuits, Sunday school class" etc. All these recollections suggest that she missed those moments, those childhood times when she was with her grandmother.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
