__Walk Two Moons__ by Sharon Creech

__**Predictions**__ I bet that Margaret and Salamaca's dad are going to have a fight/ argument. I think that Sal and her grand parents will get pulled over by a police officer. // Makes sense- gramps seems like a questionable driver! // I bet that Sal and her grand parents will get a little lost. I predict that Ben is the one writing the letters to Salamaca because he likes her and over heard her saying that the person is a lunatic.

Questions: I wonder if Salamaca and her gram, gramp's will get into a car accident? I wonder if there will be two moons? I wonder what it will be like for Sal and her grand parents? // Good questions- it does make you wonder why it's called Walk Two Moons. // __**Describe the protagonist (main character):**__ She is kind, and feels different emotions about her mother. She is nerves and scared about seeing her mother. Salamaca has black hair, wheres pants and t-shirts, blue, green shoes. __**Describe the setting of the story. How does the setting affect the plot or the characters?**__ The setting is first in Illinois now they're leaving Denver to south Dakoda. When they where in a state gram got bit by a snake and needed to go to the hospital. They didn't have to stay at the hospital more then a day when gram was released. Then they skipped the next state. Salamaca and her grand parents saw a lot of cool things on there journey. // So how do those settings affect the plot? // __**Describe the antagonist (something that opposes or works against the protagonist) and the supporting characters.**__ Protagonist is salamaca and the two antagonists are her grand parents and all of their stops and her mother leaving her and her father. __**Pick out 3 vocabulary words from the book and define them.**__ Reassurance (means making someone feel confident). Pressed (means lean up against something). Flinch ( is something like moving when someone tuckes you and you can't control it). Were these new words for you that you looked up in the dictionary? Kind of. __**What is the conflict in the story?**__ Salamaca is worried that her grand parents wont make it to Idaho in time for her mothers birthday. // Nice job- this worry/conflict affects all the events in the story. Her relationship with her mom before the trip could also be a conflict. // __**How has the protagonist changed throughout the course of the story? Use complete sentences and details or examples.**__ Salamaca is a lot more nerves because it's getting closer to her mothers birthday and her grand parents want to make lots of stops at places. Also her grand mother has been in the hospital because of a poisonous snake bite. Sal is very skittish and is sad a lot. Sal is thinking about her mother a lot, witch makes her sad, and upset. // I think as you get closer to the ending you will notice more changes in her, too. //
