“She was like the winter landscape in the mountains, an expanse of pure white serenity breathing peace and contentment.” How far do you agree with the author’s description of his grandmother as stated above?

Explanation

Yes, I completely agree with the description of the grandmother. The colour white represents or signifies purity, innocence, divinity, serenity and light. Here in the portrait, the grandmother is a symbol of all these qualities. She wore spotless white clothes. She used to tell the beads of her rosary all the time and was always busy praying. In the village, she used to go to the temple daily, read the scriptures and feed village dogs. She was disturbed upon knowing that English schools taught nothing about God and the scriptures. She used to spin at the spinning wheel and recite prayers from sunrise to sunset. The feeding of the sparrows was the happiest half-hour of the day for her. The sparrows even sat on her legs, shoulders and head. Such was her innocence.
