    Walk Two Moons Character Analysis

    In the beginning of the novel, Sal was very negative about any situation that got in her way. During this quote, Sal is explaining the differences between Euclid and Bybanks,”No swimming hole, no barn, no cows, no chickens, no pigs” (10.) In this quote, Sal is seeing everything in Euclid negative, which makes her feel and act very differently than if she was in Bybanks. Her perspective starts to develop her as first she hates life in Euclid which affects the way she sees things. In the middle of the novel, Sal’s perspective of the world starts to change from negative to positive because Sal starts to realize that life isn’t so bad in Euclid and that if she just gave it some time, she would start to feel more comfortable. During this quote, Sal is saying that when something is going bad, she had hope that everything would be good. “For the first time, it occurred to me that maybe my mother’s leaving had nothing whatsoever to do with me”(169.)

In this quote, Sal is starting to get better understanding of why her father didn’t take her to Idaho. “I also realized that there were lots of reasons why my father didn’t take me to Idaho when he got the new…
