• Walls uses the word "snapped" to convey her grandmother's impatience and what seems to be distaste over her role as a grandmother.

• "Mumbly" is the word Walls uses to describe her grandfather's voice, which was difficult to understand.

• Walls also uses the word "announcing" to describe her uncle's greeting and demeanor... which was powered by alcohol.
