The Sand Castle fun
By Nicholas V.
It is always a special time to be with your grandparents from time to time. In my life it is always fun to spend the holidays with my grandparents. In this story there is a grandma and 2 kids that are having fun at the beach. In the short story “The Sand Castle” Masha (the grandma) tries to distract her grandchildren from their circumstances by taking them to the beach.
Masha goes to the beach with the kids every so often to get some fresh air. On page 787, they would almost be forced to go the beach because they have not been to the beach in a while. Masha said “they had almost forgotten the sun on their bodies,” because it has been a while since they have been to the beach. I feel like they will want to go the beach more because of this story.
The children went from being into a bad mood to a good mood.When the child said “whats a sand castle”he sounded really sad in my head. After when he was building the sandcastle he sounded really happy. When they went to the beach other times they were bored. When they went to the beach in the story they were happy.
Masha made the kids happy after building the sandcastle. The children were running back and forth to get the sand for the castle. The ton got a little louder in excitement.They sounded excited after they had finished the sandcastle.
When Masha takes the kids to the beach she does a good job distracting them from their troubles. Every time they talk about building the castle they are always happy and excited. Whenever I am with my grandparents I am always happy. In my life is like the story, i'm not with my grandparents much but is still fun when i am with them.
Sandcastle love

Have your grandparents ever taken you to the beach to make a sandcastle? I have with my grandparents and it was the best time of my life. The story is called “Sandcastle” by Alma Luz Villanueva. It is about a grandmother named Masha and she takes her grandchildren to the beach to build a sandcastle together as a family. Masha tries to show her grandchildren what she did when she was their age.
In the story Masha builds a sandcastle with her grandchildren. Masha says to her grandchildren “Today we are going to build a sandcastle” Masha tells them. Masha uses her special shells on her sandcastle that she built with her grandchildren. Masha collects shells from all over the world. The sea doesn’t make these shells anymore because they are one of a kind and so Masha wouldn’t be able to use them again.
Masha changes at the end of the story because she was super happy that she got to experience the most wonderful time that she had with her grandchildren. Until that moment, she’d forgotten the time she built a sandcastle with her grandchildren of nearly sixty years ago when Masha built a sandcastle with her grandchildren. Masha loves her grandchildren, her grandchildren love her. Her grandchildren love her so much because she was there for everything.
Masha loves how her grandchildren made her sandcastle. It was colorful it had the sun beating on it. Mashas shells were colorful and it was as bright as the sun beating on it. They were so happy that they got to build a sandcastle even though they didn't want to build a sandcastle but they still did.
Masha still tries to show her grandchildren today what she did when she was their age. You should go to the beach with your grandparents one day and play with team or make a sandcastle it is a lot of of fun. I love sandcastles how about you?
