Baba and Daddy Gus by: Bell Hooks

I like mostly in the beggining of the story how Bell Hooks used metaphors to discribe her grandparents. There was one in the fourth paragraph that she said "Together Baba and Daddy Gus generated a hot heat" and it made me realized that those are the words that described my Uncle Michael and his wife Nycole. One thing that caught my attention was that for them to married so long, how can maintain not speaking or doing anything with one another? As I read, I thought to myself if that was the way to keep thier relationship stronger of the fact that they didn't want thier grandchildern to see them in misery. Daddy Gus reminds me so much of my Uncle Ivory, a hard worker since he was young, unique treasures in his house from his past and old school. Just by hearing what the writer says about her grandparent, means that they really meant a lot to her and that emotions were deep for them.
