Question

Ruthie says she wishes she was as brave as her grandmother, Baba, who crossed the ocean alone to get to Cuba. Who does Joy say Baba would have gotten along well with?

Answer 1

Joy says Baba would have gotten along well with George's mother.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joy says that Baba would have gotten along well with George's mother. This is mentioned in the text where it states, 'In the exaltation of the duty laid upon her-it buoyed her up instead of burdening her-she rapidly recovered. Her father went with her on the long railroad journey from northern New York to western Iowa; he had business out at Davenport, and he said he could just as well go then as any other time; and he went with her to the little country town where George's mother lived in a little house on the edge of the illimitable corn-fields.' This suggests that Joy believes Baba would have connected with George's mother given the context of their journey and visit to her home.
