Walk Two Moons Chapters 11-15

There are lots of people who had feelings of sadness in their lives. Mrs. Winterbottom returned home from the grocery store and looked like she was crying. Sal's Dad gazes at old photo albums at home and gets sad. Sal runs up to her room after Margaret gives her a new blue sweater. Explain why you think these people are sad. Are there any other characters that you feel are "sad"?

  1. Well, Mrs. Winterbottom is sad because she is worried about the messages and the man at the door for her children's sake and sal's dad is missing his wife and sal's mom but sal is also missing her mom and all the while won't let anyone in espeicaly margret because she dosn't want anyone to take the place of her mom and there arn't any others that are sad i dont think but sal is vary sad i think i can relate to her a little because when my dog got hit and died i was devastated but i think things will get better in the story cuse the light always shines through

  2. I agree with Jess, Mrs. Winterbotton is sad because someone is leaving strange messages on there porch. Also Sal's Dad is missing his wife and Sal's mother, and Sal is also missing her mother. Now that Sal is on the trip to see her mother she is missing her father, but she doesn't want to admit it to her grandparents. I also agree with Jess, about Sal being sad because she dosnt want Margret to replace her mother.

  3. In the book Sal's Dad and Mrs.Winterbootom are sad and I think that Sal's Dad is sad because his wife left him and Sal and he really misses her and wants her to come back. Mrs.Winterbottom is sad because she is scared that someone is going to come in and hurt her and her family and she does not want to lose her family and she does not want her family to lose her.

  4. In the book sal and her dad are sad because her mother left them both. Her mother left one april day with out tell sal or sal's dad.I agree with Emily now sal is on a trip to find her mother and now she is missing her father and she just not want to admit to her Grandparent that she missse her father.Why Mrs.Wintterbottom is sad because their is someone leaving strange message on her porch. She dose not want that person to come and hurt Mrs. Witterbottom or any other people.I agree with Jess, about sal begin sad because she dose not want Margret to replace her mother. I don't think that there is any other character that is sad.

  5. Jessica,
    Your insight about Sal not wanting to let anyone take her mom's place was very interesting. Do you think that she will eventually let Margaret be part of her life?

  6. That's interesting that several of you thought that Sal is missing her father. What made you think that?
    It seems strange that Mrs. Winterbottom would be sad because of the messages. I'd think that she would be scared rather than sad. What do you think?

  7. to me, it seems as though mrs. winterbottom is sad because she is tired of doing every little thing that her family wants her to do, and that if she askes the others to do any work, that they will forget about her and not need her anymore. i also agree that sal is sad because she does not want margret to replace her mother. but i also think that its partly phoebe's fault because she has been tell sal things that make her scared of margret. but, i think that over time, sal will warm up to margret. i also believe that sal's father is making himself even more sad by looking through the photo album, but i guess its better to remember than to forget. but i also think that he could be sad because he's beating himself up over something that was out of his control.

    In the book Sals grandparents ask her if she wants to call her dad and Sal says no but it said that she relaly did miss him and i think that was making her sad. Even though she is going to find her mother.
