“A trip to grand rapids” is a story made by Garrison Keillor in 1987. It’s a traditional novel, I can tell, because of the choking ending, the serious theme, and it makes the reader think a lot. It also has scene, feelings and personal descriptions.
The persons in the novel are, Roger who is married to Cindy, and they are parents to the two girls, Cathy and Martha.
Roger is a strict man, and he is the man of the house and he makes the rules. But right from the start we discover that inside of him there is a softer side. We hear how he commands the cat to be outside but when the rainy night comes he soften up and goes out in the rain to find the kitten.
Roger Hedlund is also a man with a lot of worries. He is a farmer and get blue when his corn is destroyed by the rain. He has a hard time seeing his daughters growing up, letting go of the ones that he loves is never easy. He wants to understand them, but he cannot and do not know what to do about it. He’s in a lot of confusion, because he doesn’t want to be in charge over them anymore.
