extememly loud and incredibly close II

Up until page 208, the narration alternates from oskar to a flashback written by either grandparent. Starting on page 208 with grandfather's account of the bombing of dresden, there is a back to back narration given by grandfather then grandmother, respectively, in two distinct chapters; p208-216 is his account of the bombing and pages 217-233 is the grandmother's account of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Its during this grandmother-narrated chapter, that theres a change in the style of narration, for all of her previous entires had been flashbacks to about 50 years previous and this chapter was a flashback of only about 2 years previous. 

In addition, its interesting to consider the difference in the style of writing between the account of dresden and that of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As the grandfather writes in a stream of consciousness style sans necessary periods, the grandmother reports the attack in short, choppy sentences.
