Inheritance of tools

1. When sanders gives details about building a wall I can clearly visualize what he is doing in each step and yes, I think each concept is clearly defined. I think he needs to describe each step because it shows us the readers what his father instilled in him and the inheritance of his tools.

2. Sanders doesn’t go in chronological order, he starts this essay with the morning his dad died and flashes back to when he was younger. When his father and grandfather would tell him stories about the tools in their family. The hammer definitely connects different times in his life. He talks about having to replace the head of the hammer several times.

3.Dawn stones are unworked rocks that served as hammers. I think dawn stones represent his ancestors to him and that not much has changed when it comes to hammers. They are still used for some of the same things.
