Here is my comparision of Hatchet and Peak:
http://mrsasnell.edu.glogster.com/abbie/ __ Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech __

Predictions: 1 I bet they will not want to hang out with Margaret because her last name means dead body. 2 Also I think that Sal might get some animals and try to find room in the back. 3 I think Margaret's mom and Sal's dad will get close but Sal will try to brake her up. Questions: 1 Will Sal ever meet her mom by the time her moms birthday? 2 How will they prevent from Margaret because her last name is Cadaver which means "dead body" so can they prevent her, her last name seems scary so they do not want to hang out with margaret.

3 Where is her mom right now in jail, out on her own, where? That is a great question! Describe the protagonist (main character): Sal is the main character in the book and she sounds brave and eager to see her mom. She also feels not normal in the family and says she is not like gramp and gram. She sounds like a nice girl how really wanted to live on a farm like she was before. She reminds me of a blond freckled cutie pie good girl. But can think hard and think she doesn't do like gramp. She probably think gram and gramp are wacko but she loves them a lot. Great description of her and her relationship with her grandparents. I also think she is a little confused or upset about her mom being gone. __**Describe the setting of the story. How does the setting affect the plot or the characters?**__ *The setting in the book is many places because Sal and her gramy and gramp are going to find Sals mom so they are traveling through Wisconsin and now driving to Minnesota they were in Kentucky a while back so at home the setting is in a little town with Sals house that can't even fit a cow in their front yard. So they are in Illinois right now. New paragraph for Mrs. Snell to read. So when gram was in the hospital and died that was caused by the snake bite which was caused by going to the lake which was caused by many things so if none of that happened then maybe Sal wouldn't had to drive herself in the car and the cops would of never come and it all is caused by one thing like gram getting sick the and had to go to the hospital and so none of that would happened because of one thing. Exactly! Nice job! __**Describe the antagonist (something that opposes or works against the protagonist) and the supporting characters.**__ *Well Sal is the protagonist because she wants her mom and wants to see her on her birthday and not be late but her mom ran away and made a conflict or problem because Sal wants to go find her but will her mom not want to see her?.. * Another thing is gram and Gramp are the protagonist and the gas is the antagonist because they had to have a lot of money for the trip and with the gas prices so how are they managing to buy gas and will it say in the book?... Good thinking, but do you think Gram and Gramp are the focus of the story (protagonists) or is it really just Sal? Could Gram and Gramp be antagonists for Sal? Yes because if gramps and gram taking a long time to get to her mother because he wants to see everything like the big hills and then when gram got sick and the next time she died it took more time because gramp and Sal had to wait all day and night till gram could come out of the hospital. So that could be holding Sal back. __**Pick out 3 vocabulary words from the book and define them**__ cantankerous - Bad tempered argumentative and uncooperative Quivering - tremble or shake with a slight rapid motion. reassurance - a statement or comment that removes someone's fears or doubts. Nice vocabulary words and definitions. __**What is the conflict in the story?**__ The conflict in the story is that she is trying and trying to find her mom they are traveling to go see her because she ran away but will they find her. So far it has taken them a whole day in each state so the conflict is will sal ever see her mom trying to find her. Nice job! __**How has the protagonist changed throughout the course of the story? Use complete sentences and details or examples.**__ Sal has changed by wanting to see her mom and thinks she will come back and really miss her mom. She also told how she was at phoebe's house all the time and that the lunatic was always coming a around. So I think she has changed about the thoughts about her mom and how gramp said that they probably will not find her mom and so she is confident but every time she had to write about something it would turn out about her and her mom. So she is sad worried about her mom and also talks about every detail she can say sad, confused, worried, brave, and nice.

As you get to the end, you will probably be able to list even more ways she has changed. Yes, because she is now happy and relieved that she made it and she can rest. She is probably sad inside because Sal's mom died and gram died too. I think she is more brave and isn't scare of anything because she had to drive by herself and she ben through gram getting bite, the side of the steep mountain on the side and was scared she was going to fall of and getting stopped by a police so she is more brave then before. Also suprise because phoebe's mom had the lunatic as her son so that was very surprising. So she is very different then in the beginning and i imagine her with brown hair and very adventures now then before.
