Theme Of Walk Two Moon By Sharon Creech
"Don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins," –Sharon Creech. Sals
development through her life was mainly because of the points in her life where she accepted a
challenge instead of denying it. In Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, the author develops the
theme of acceptance through Sals characterization, internal and external conflict, and the plot of the
story. During the story, Sals characterization contributes to the author's theme of acceptance. The
author uses Sal's characterization to express her feelings when she says, "I did not think we would
ever leave, and yet I did not want to leave. I did not really expect to survive the trip," (Creech 6).
When Sal says this she is showing that she didn't want to go because her dad wasn't going with her.
Sal had to accept that she had to go on the trip with or without her father. The author also shows
acceptance when she says, "One day I realized that our whole trip to Lewiston had been a gift from

The plot of the story is described when the it says, "I stood beneath that tree for the longest time,
hoping to catch sight of the bird who was singing such song. There was no bird," (93). Sal had to
realize that there was no bird which conveyed the plot to the reader. Sal expresses the plot again
when she says, "When I walk in her moccasins, though, I say, if I were my mother, I might want
more children," (264). Sal is putting herself in someone else's shoes which was a plot to the story.
She also expresses what she would do and her feelings. Sal shows the theme through the plot when
she says, "I looked up at where her mouth must have touched the trunk. I probably imagined this,
but I thought I could detect a small dark stain, as from a blackberry kiss," (122). One of the plots
was the blackberry kiss, and Sal is describing the tree and the stain. Overall, the plot and setting
contribute to the story's theme of

Charles Manson Neglect
Other Contexts of Neglect and Abuse Manson's grandparents. When Kathy Maddox was arrested
and imprisoned in 1940 for an armed robbery, 6–year old Manson was sent to live with his
grandparents who were perceived as overly obsessive religious fanatics. According to Hickey
(2003), Manson's grandmother dominated the household with both a stern and unwavering
interpretation of what she believed to be "God's plan and some of her strictly religious practices
included intense prayer sessions both before and after meals, as well as at bedtime. There was no
drinking, smoking, or swearing allowed, and Manson was told to turn the other cheek to any violent
or aggressive act initiated by some of the other kids at school. His grandmother also demanded that
everyone living in her house must abide by her rules or else suffer the consequences, and this
included her own husband as well. As Hickey (2003) explains, Manson "never witnessed any

Adler's theory of individual personality doesn't necessarily account for individuals with two unique
sides personality, which is evident throughout the context and background of his life. On one hand,
he was a magnetic and loving person that drew in others with his intelligence and self–proclaimed
talent. On the other hand, the persona he presented to others was not his true self. Deep within the
depths of Manson's charming personality hides a villain, a manipulator, a criminal, and a murderer.
In addition to the many lies that he has told about both himself and his life, as well as the
manipulative behavior he displays, it's exceptionally hard to decipher what is fact and what is just
simply untrue, making the application of any psychological theory nearly impossible. However,
Adlerian theory does provide a probable explanation for why Manson turned out the way he

Post Modernism And Its Influence On Society
Post–modernism came about in the late–20th century following modernism, which was a period
where people had a new found freedom to follow their own path in life, whether it was religion,
science, philosophy, art, or really anything they put their mind to as opposed to strictly traditional
beliefs. Writers could express their emotions more easily without really feeling a backlash from
what everyone else thought. Two female writers who were able to freely express themselves in their
writing during post–modernism were Linda Pastan and Sharon Olds. Linda
Pastan talked more about her life in general like every day anxieties, her marriage, parenting, and
even grief. However, Sharon Olds was a little more controversial in her writing since she often
talked about sexuality and violence. Their writing styles were similar in the aspect that they both
enjoyed writing based on their own lives, but still very different on how they talked about certain
subject matter. Even with different approaches, these two authors were still both very influential on
others who wanted to share the same dream. Both authors have had similar educational backgrounds
and writing recognition. Pastan
Was raised in New York City and attended Radcliffe College. After her graduation, she decided to
focus her life on her family and did not return to writing until 10 years later when she was
encouraged by her husband to do so. She received awards such as Mademoiselle poetry prize, the

What You Pawn I Will Redeem By Sherman Alexie
Personal identity is a way one sees themselves and is related to their image and self esteem. It
guides them through their life as to what they want to do and get out of life. It is also an indication
of a person 's individualism and self–satisfaction. It is an important aspect of a person 's life. Every
person identifies themselves to certain groups, organizations, culture, ethnicity, characters, goals or
to things. The story "What You Pawn I Will Redeem" by Sherman Alexie describes a homeless
Indian man Jackson from Spokane, Washington who wants to connect with his past and ancestral
roots. One day he sees his grandmother 's regalia in a pawnshop, recognizes it, makes a bond with it;
and tries his best to get the regalia back. The story is about this character Jackson; and the events
that happen to him for twenty–four hour period. The main themes of the story revolve around
generosity, friendship, belief, self–identity, culture, and plight of a homeless. The other story "Sonny
's Blues" by James Baldwin is about jazz musician from Harlem, NY who struggles through his
addiction to drugs and music and his relationship with his older brother, the narrator of the story.
The story revolves around home, family, the responsibility of an elder brother to his younger
brother, attachment to music, and reconciliation. Among these themes, this paper is going to analyze
how personal identity is so important for a these main characters, and how they achieve them in
their own methods.

Themes In Walk Two Moons By Sharon Creech
Do you know what it's like to feel abandoned? In the book Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech
there are a lot of themes like independency, family and many others. The ones that I like the most
that I feel are the best and most represented are, motherhood and abandonment. I feel like in the
book Sal is the most affected by these themes. On the start of the book Sal and her father moved to
Euclid, Ohio after her mother's death. After that event Sal went through a lot of mixed feelings, she
was feeling envious and guilty because she thought her mother wasn't happy with her so she was
envy that she wanted another child, and when her mother lost the baby she felt guilty thinking it was
her fault. She was also angry at her father because she thought he was the one who drove her mother
away. And she was also feeling like she was abandoned because her mother left , and when the
accident happened she felt sad because she never said goodbye to her mother and there was also a
lot more of change, changes she never wanted to happen. Before Sal's mother left her she had a lot
of mixed feelings, but after she did she felt even more feelings. ... Show more content on

Her mother left because when you become a mother you give a lot of things up, and she felt like she
had things to do to be happier. Also when her mother left she never said goodbye because she
thought she would came, back but then... the accident happened and Sal was actually very mature
about that, but inside she was really sad and abandoned. That is why most of the book is Sal and her
grandparents traveling from Ohio to Idaho (where her mother was buried) just so Sal can say
goodbye to her. And that Sal could have the closure she needed, to move on. She was also feeling
like there was way too much changes going on, like the move to Euclid, her and her father living
without her mother for good, and also

Meir Dagan was born in 1945 as Meir Huberman on a train...
Meir Dagan was born in 1945 as Meir Huberman on a train between the USSR and Poland while his
Polish Jewish parents were escaping the Holocaust to live in the Soviet Union. Dagan and his family
lived in the USSR until 1950 when they relocated to Bat Yam, Israel. His family lived in Bat Yam
and operated a Laundromat. Dagan studied painting and sculpture at Tel Aviv University. In 1963, as
is customary in Israel, Dagan was conscripted into the Israeli Defense Forces at the age of eighteen.
Though he was initially set on joining the elite Special Forces deep reconnaissance unit, Sayeret
Matkal, Dagan ended up joining the infamous Paratroopers Brigade.

Sharon, intent on destroying external threats to Israel, gave Dagan a mandate to hunt down the
enemies of Israel abroad. Dagan's first test came in November 2002 when an Israeli–owned hotel in
Nairobi, Kenya was bombed by Al–Qaeda. Dagan deployed his a squad of his elite hit team known
as the Kidon to find and kill the perpetrators. Dagan's team traveled from Kenya to Morocco to Iraq,
killing every major member of the terrorist plot at each stop. Following this enormous success,
Sharon gave Dagan free rein to eliminate threats to Israel abroad using whatever means necessary.
In fact, under Dagan, the Mossad tripled recruitment and used his connections with his allies in the
Knesset to increase funding to almost $350 million dollars annually, much of which went from
traditional intelligence and analysis to field operations and "special tasks". Ehud Yatom, member of
the Knesset Subcommittee of Secret Services wrote, "... I can say this with complete authority: The
Mossad under Meir Dagan has undergone a revolution in terms of organization, intelligence and
operations."
Dagan has focused Mossad's operations almost entirely on two objectives: preemptively neutralizing
anti–Israeli terrorists, especially those of Hezbollah and Hamas and sabotaging Iran's nuclear
program. In both cases, according to former Labor Party Chairman, Amram Mitzna, Dagan has
proved successful: "Israel is enjoying unprecedented happiness because of Meir." Dagan retired
from his post in 2009

To Kill A Mockingbird Character Analysis
"Don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins." This is a common Native
American proverb, and also a quote from the book Walk Two Moons, by Sharon Creech. This is
telling you to look at a situation from someone else's point of view before making a decision. By
doing this, you become inadvertently more sympathetic and compassionate towards other people.
Many times in To Kill a Mockingbird, the main characters: Scout, Jem, and Atticus, look at
something from another person's shoes. On page 30, Atticus gives Scout this advice and at first she
doesn't understand it. As the book progresses, she sees the meaning of his words and becomes more
sympathetic as a result. Some cases of these three characters taking this advice are the interactions
between Jem and Ms. Dubose, Atticus talking to Jem about the snowman that Jem made, and at the
very end when Scout walks Boo Radley back to his house after the night when Jem broke his arm.
In the novel and the film, the character Ms. Dubose was an ill, as in sick, ill, as in ill–tempered, and
old, as in very very old woman who lived on the street that Scout and Jem lived on. Her house was
several down and across from them, but the two kids still had to pass it every time they went to
school or town. The old lady would always shout out at them, berating them for what seemed like
everything. They both would become very angry or possibly scared or nervous by certain things she
said. Some examples include her saying that it's

Important Settings In Walk Two Moons By Sharon Creech
Important Settings for Sal
"... I am a country girl at heart... and brave." (Creech pg 1 and 12) This is how Sharon Creech,
author of Walk Two Moons develops her main character, Sal. The protagonist in the story resists,
travels, and returns to bybanks. With all of this, this helps Sal to grow throughout the novel. In the
beginning, Euclid Ohio represents all things different and new to Sal, her new everyday normal
without her mom.Sal explains at the beginning of the story "No trees... this is where we're going to
live?" (Creech pg 1) Euclid differs from Bybanks because Euclid has no trees, and the houses squish
together. Sal misses all these things which shows the difference from Euclid to Bybanks. Another
important setting in Ohio ly's Phoebe's house "... I sat down at the table. What I started doing was
remembering the day before my mother left." (Creech pg 97) When Sal goes to Phoebe's house in
Euclid, she starts realizing things about her mom and how she took her mom for granted. Thirdly,
Ben from Sal's new school in Ohio appears and plays a role in her life. " I wanted to touch his face,
right there on his cheek. (Creech pg 156) Sal thinks of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

mom's death, she starts to partly realize that her mom will never return. Shortly after, Sal come to

mom's death. Lastly in Coeur d'alene Grams dies. "I am sorry to say that our Gooseberry died at
three o'clock this morning." (creech pg 258) Although tremendously sad, Sal must come to grips
with the fact that her mom died, and grams died in Coeur d'alene. These events create realizations
about the role of Gram's, and Sal's mom in her

Gender Roles In Childrens Literature Essay
Gender Bias in Literature
I have thought about many different ways to organize this paper and have come to the conclusion
that the best way to approach the topic is on a book–by–book basis. My perceptions of the gender
biases in these books vary greatly and I did not want to begin altering my views on each so that they
would fit into certain contrived connections. What interests me most in these stories is how the
authors utilize certain character's within their given environment. Their instincts and reactions are a
wonderful window into how the authors perceive these "people" would interact with their

Pendanski, a whiny and unrespected man in the grand scheme of things at camp, in the role of
mother. They did not turn to the only woman present at the camp, nor the man who disciplines them
each day, to fill their maternal needs. Instead they turn to the weakest figure in their lives and mock
him by referring to him as a woman. This demonstrates to us that Sachar considers femininity a
weakness in this world and has no issues showing us. As Ernst wrote, "How easy is it to relegate
girls to second class citizens when they are seen as second–class citizens, or not at all" (Ernst 67).
This point is only furthered by the fact that the only woman present is such a fairy tale character.
She is portrayed to us as all but a sorceress and it can be assumed she has taken on this persona in
order to survive in a predominately male post in a totally male dominated environment. Even in our
class it was evident that many readers were taken aback by the fact that Sachar chose to make his
warden a female. And so it again can be seen that Sachar has imparted onto us a bias that a real
woman could not function in this world so he had to invent a completely fictional and grandiose
one. With all the other characters in the book appearing so human, it seems obvious he turned the
warden into a beast because he felt he had to.
In What Jamie Saw, by Carolyn Coman, gender bias shows itself in a new way. In this book

Parent was found. He was shot four times and stabbed once. Laying about eighteen or twenty feet

blunt object thirteen times, and stabbed fifty–one times. Also discovered on the lawn was coffee

45). The highest level of awareness in Scientology is called "theta clear." Manson claims to have
reached theta clear while in prison. He supposedly achieved this through many "auditing sessions,"
the method that Scientologists use to teach awareness, taught by his cell mate, Lanier Rayner
(Bugliosi 195–196). Most likely, he picked up many of his methods of mind control from these
sessions, along with ideas such as karma and reincarnation (635). The Process Church of the Final
Judgment, labeled a Satanist cult by the media, was founded in 1963 by Robert DeGrimston, a
former Scientologist. The basis of this religion was the book of Matthew of the New Testament, and
it began as a mixture of Zoroastrianism and Scientology. The name "The Process" refers to the
"changes necessary to avoid the end of the world with its associated judgment." Processeans
worship Jehovah, Lucifer, and Satan ("Process" par.17). Even though The Process fervently denies
that Charles Manson was ever a member, many ideas from his philosophy parallel Process concepts.
Both Manson and The Process taught of a violent and unavoidable Armageddon in which all but the
few chosen ones would be destroyed, and both thought that motorcycle gangs would be the "troops
of the last days." One Process pamphlet described the second coming of

Mary Engelbreit once said, "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it; change the
way you think about it." This quote is a strong connection with Sal, when she grew up she had tons
of external forces that caused her to think about things in a different way than before. She never
really knew how to feel sometimes because she didn't know how they would turn out. Sal couldn't
just change her problems, but she could change the way she looked at them. In the book Walk Two

Cadaver. When Sal's father leaves to go find out who the only survivor was in her mother's bus
crash, it turns out that the only survivor is Mrs. Cadaver. After her father meets Mrs. Cadaver, they
start to bond over Sal's mother. This leads her father to get closer to Mrs. Cadaver, which causes Sal
to believe that her father is forgetting about her mother and focusing more on Mrs. Cadaver. Sal
says, "I hoped Mr.Birkway was in love with Margaret Cadaver and would marry her and take her
away so that my father and I could go back to Bybanks," (page 116). Sal wonders if Mr. Birkway
will take Mrs. Cadaver away then everything will go back to normal. However, the day that Mrs.
Cadaver told her how her and her father met, Sal figured that Mrs. Cadaver wasn't a bad person that
she wanted to get rid of anymore. Sal didn't want to believe Margaret Cadaver, until she saw the bus
alongside the overlook in Coeur d'Alene. She realized that the only reason why Margaret hung out
with her father was because they were close friends that connected with her mother. Sal believes that
Margaret is not the crazy person that she thought of as before because she now knows that she was a
big help to her family. This is a significant external force that changes Sal's life growing

"Just over a year ago, my father plucked me up like a weed and took me and all our belongings...
and we drove three hundred miles straight north and stopped in front of a house in Euclid, Ohio"
(Creech, 1). Sal moved away from her home, in Bybanks which she adored very much. But what
were the reasons? In "Walk Two Moons," Sharon Creech uses settings that show significance to the
protagonist Sal, by connecting it to how long she's lived there, features of the setting, and her loved
ones. Bybanks is important to the protagonist, Sal, because it has been her home for almost her
whole life. The author expresses this first by stating, "I have lived most of my thirteen years in

For example, "My father and I are living on our farm again, and Gramps is living with us, Gram is
buried in the aspen grove where she and Gramps were married" (Creech, 260). Undeniably, this
quote states the fact that one of Sal's loved ones is buried near her, in Bybanks. Therefore, the fact
that Grams is buried in Bybanks, it's natural for Sal to feel more connected to the environment
around her. Moreover, another quote, "We miss our gooseberry everyday" (Creech, 260). First of all,
this quote appears to be quite straightforward, but it's very critical. It shows how Sal feels about one
of her family members passing away. But the reader can infer, that by Sal being in Bybanks is a way
to make her feel closer to her beloved Gram. Also, "Gramps is different. He needs Gram right here.
He needs to walk out to that aspen grove to see his gooseberry" (Creech, 262). Evidently, this quote
is also pretty crucial. The people around her (Gramps) are also affected by Gram's passing. And
needs her near to feel better about that fact. Gramps feels safer when Grams is buried where he is
near, and it's natural to overlap feelings. As a result of these pieces of evidence, Bybanks is
important to Sal, because it is where some of her family is buried, and she feels more connected to
the environment because of

Examples Of Family In Walk Two Moons
Family is not an important thing. It's everything. In the whole world, there are many different types
of family. The broken ones, the chaotic ones, the ordinary ones and the extraordinary ones. In the
novel Walk Two Moons, written by Sharon Creech, there are some families, and all of them are
unique. There is Salamanca's family, which used to live in Bybanks, Kentucky. Salamanca is the
main character of the book, she went on a trip with her grandparents, it was the same her mother did
before dying. Salamanca was an immature girl in the beginning of the novel, but throughout, she
changed a lot. Her mother went on her own journey, and now Sal and her father lived alone. They
decided to move to Euclid, Ohio, a big city with no nature around. Unfortunately, she has a broken
family. On the other side, Ben, who was Sal's classmate and boyfriend by the end of the novel, was

The strange ones, the chaotic or crazy ones, the normal ones, and unfortunately, the broken ones,
which is Sal's family. In the novel Walk Two Moons, each family can be categorized as something.
Sal's family can be categorized by the broken one. Phoebe's family is the chaotic and crazy one. And
finally, Ben's family is categorized as strange. The author Sharon Creech of the novel Walk Two
Moons had the idea of writing this novel to show the readers the amount of different type of family
there is and how they are happy in their own way. Family is one theme of the novel but can be
considered as not an important theme to some people, but to me it is. Even though the author doesn't
mention family many times, one of the main things in the book is family. One phrase that I
memorized from the novel is "don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his mocassin"
(Creech, 51). You can't judge a family until you know the truth of what the family has already
passed

Life Lessons In Walk Two Moons, By Sharon Creech
Life Lessons Someone once said, "Life's best lessons seemed to be learned at the worst times." It is
true to Sal because when she found her mom's grave she believed that he mom was dead but still

Moons, by Sharon Creech, is you can't stop the birds of sadness from flying overhead but you can
stop them from nesting in you hair. Don't judge a man until you walked two moons in his

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech is about a young girl named Salamanca Tree Hiddle, or "Sal".
Though the story does begin with Sal going on a car trip with her grandparents, what makes the
story intriguing is the fact that it tells two stories at once. Since Sal's mother had mysteriously gone
missing after leaving the family, the young girl decided to "walk in her mother's moccasins". So, she
decided to go on a journey with her grandparents on the same route that her mother had left. While

They had been a joyous, united family. However, after her mother had received a stillborn baby, she
had decided to leave home for a while to clear her head. Sal is greatly angered at the fact that her
mother had left, even as she kept sending postcards. Later on, when Sal's father learned that her
mother wasn't coming back and had died in a bus accident, he comes to the conclusion of selling the
farm. Sal, who is still unaware that her mother had actually died in an accident, still believes that her
mother is out there somewhere, and refuses to let go of the farm. In the end, her father decides to
rent out the farm instead, and they move to Idaho where a friend of Sal's father lives. This friend,
named Margaret, seemed close to her father, and Sal didn't want to have anything to do with her. All
she wanted back was her mother. Meanwhile, Sal had also made a new friend, Phoebe, whose family
seems dysfunctional. Phoebe's mother always seems to be unhappy, and it doesn't come up as a

The Cliffhanger In Walk Two Moons By Sharon Creech
I. Cliffhanger: a cliffhanger in literature is a device, borrowed from early serialized film, in which a
writer ends a chapter on a note of suspense, encouraging the reader to continue on to the next
chapter. What is the cliffhanger at the end of Chapter Thirty–One?
In the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech the author ends Chapter Thirty–One with a
cliffhanger. The protagonist, Sal calls her friend and tells her "Phoebe, we've got to find her." and
Phoebe replies "That's what I've been telling you." (pg. 132). This is a cliffhanger because the author
stops the chapter in the middle of the conversation without the reader finding out what Sal and
Phoebe are going to do to find Phoebe's mother. II. Refrain: How does the refrain change as Sal and
her grandparents get to the Badlands? What do you predict will happen?
In the novel Walk Two Moons the author Sharon Creech uses the technique of refrain to develop the
mood of the story. This refrain: "the sound of the wind was hurry, hurry, hurry, and at night, even the
silent darkness whispered rush, rush, rush" appears for the first time on page four. She repeatedly

Dennis Ashwell's Life In Vietnam
It was the summer of Vietnam, The Grateful Dead, and free love. Nothing made sense, and the
cultural landscape around the world was smashed into pieces. It was a world in flux, a world awash
in a tsunami of what was and what could be. In June of 1697 dissatisfaction reached a head ushering
in a new era of rambunctious youth that had enough of the status quo. Dennis Ashwell was no
different despite his background. He hailed from a penthouse in New York overlooking Central
Park. He went to good schools and got good grades. He went to cocktail parties hosted by his
mother in swanky hotels, and hobnobbed with his father at political events, fully realizing he served
as a shining beacon of how young adults should act. At 18, he was accepted and went to Harvard. ...
He had no car, $102, and a backpack of clothes and books. He took buses until he ran out of money
somewhere between Arkansas and Texas. Then he went on route 66 and jutted out his thumb. He
met his fair share of creeps and weirdos, but the majority were friendly and his journey uneventful.
His one mistake was falling asleep in the back of a lumber pickup truck and winding up in
Mendocino Beach, 200 miles away from where he wanted to go. Lumbering back onto the highway
he stuck out his thumb once again and waited. He waited until one night a large VW bus slowed
down. The bus was large, almost like a truck, and was painted a cacophony of bright colors. Out of
the bus appeared a short man with crazy hair and battered clothing – his eyes wild and his jaw
clenching and unclenching. As the man got closer Dennis could smell a heavy mix of perspiration,
day old milk, and marijuana, yet he wasn't unnerved, the man seemed alright. They shook hands, the
man introduced himself as Charlie, and Dennis agreed to ride with him and his group to San

Charles Manson Research Paper
Manson In the summer of August, 1969, free love reigned and cries of protest against the Vietnam
War could be heard throughout the streets of America. It seemed to most that this era, filled with the
ideals of hippies and psychedelic media, would never end. However, the era seemed to come to an
abrupt halt on the night of August 9th, when five innocent people were horribly slain, including
pregnant actress Sharon Tate. These murders would be followed by another set, the following night.
This time it would be Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, wealthy grocery chain owners. Though the
murders were at first unsolved, Charles Manson and four women, who were a part of his cult–like
"family," were accused, in December of that year, and put on trial for ... Show more content on

This movie follows the entire Tate–LaBianca case from the discovery of the first murder, to the day
that Manson and his followers were declared guilty. The movie follows the case with an omniscient
point of view, mainly focusing on the point of view of the leading prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi.
Occasionally, the viewer receives information Bugliosi does not have, by switching to the viewpoint
of a Family member. The film accurately displays most historical facts, including an in depth
explanation of what Charlie led the Family to believe; killing was a form of love, because they were
simply setting a soul free, and that Charlie was Jesus in the flesh. The amount of violence in the
movie is not depicted as it was in real life. This is because showing true–to–life, graphic images of
the murders was not appropriate for television at that time. This does not change the overall
effectiveness of the movie, as the actors do a good job portraying their horror at the

The Spicy Hot Pot In Walk Two Moons By Sharon Creech
The Spicy Hot Pot An American marine biologist, Rachel Carson states, "For the sense of smell,
almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories...". Research shows that in order to
remember anything, the fives senses must pick up our experiences. Smell is one of the most
effective senses that reminds us of past experiences. The reason for that it is because the olfactory
part of the brain which processes smells are go through the part of the brain that is connected to the
amygdala and the hippocampus where memory and emotions are processed. In the book, Walk Two

I like the spicy soup, but more specifically, the spicy smell of the hot pot that will stick to my
clothes and the room for days. The strong spicy smell was permeating the room as it took me back
to the summer when I was in China eating the same hot pot with my father. That night the table was
filled with shrimp, lamb, beef, fishy meatballs, potatoes and cabbage. I was sitting across from my
father waiting for the spicy soup to boil. This was my last meal in China. The next morning, I would
be heading to Los Angles and without seeing my dad for four years. The soup was warm and
comforting, but the air around me felt cold and depressing. Finally, the soup started to boil. My dad
began to place all the meats into the soup. The air was getting colder, even though the soup was still
boiling. I felt wet drops of water on my cheeks. I put my head down. "Are you ok?", my dad asked.
"Yea, yea, don't worry, its just the soup is too spicy." I answered. Suddenly, I was at home in Irvine
looking across the table at my brother playing on the IPad. My father was no where to be seen and
the apartment was quiet. Currently, the smell of the hot pot has become symbolic of my connection
to my father. Recently, my friend and I drove an hour in horrible traffic to LA in search of the same

Gramps and Gram with reading maps, and keeping them in line. In Walk Two Moons, it states,
"Gramps had said, "We'll see the whole ding–dong country!"' (pg. 4), "My father said that Gram
couldn't read maps worth a hill of beans, and that he was grateful that I had agreed to go along and
help them find their way." (pg. 4–5), and "Dad did not trust Gram and Gramps to behave themselves
along the way unless they had me with them." (pg. 5). However, according to Sal, the real reasons
were that Gram, Gramps, and Sal wanted to see Sal's mother in Lewiston, Idaho, and Sal's dad
wanted to spend time with Margaret Cadaver, because he had already seen Sal's mother. In Walk
Two Moons, it states, "Some of the real reasons were: 1. Gram and Gramps wanted to see Momma,
who was resting peacefully in Lewiston, Idaho. 2. Gram and Gramps knew that I wanted to see
Momma, but that I was afraid to. 3. Dad wanted to be alone with the red–headed Margaret Cadaver.

It was in February of 1970 that the motive of these murders was discovered (Bugliosi, 1974, 283).
Through police investigation, it was discovered that the murders were cult related. Charles Manson
and members of his cult, known as "The Family," were to blame. Manson and family lived on a
ranch in California. Manson was an avid fan of The Beatles and believed that this rock band spoke
to him though their lyrics. He particularly liked The Beatles' White Album which included the song
"Helter Skelter." Manson interpreted this song's lyrics as a prophecy of a race war that would take
place between the blacks and the whites. In this war, he believed the black man would rise up and
slaughter all of the whites. So Manson's plan was to take his family out into the desert and hide in a
bottomless pit until the war was over. After the war, he believed the blacks would realize all they
ever knew was taught to them by the white man, and if they wanted to survive, they would need a
white person to tell them what to do. That is when Manson and his Family would surface from the
bottomless pit, and be the rulers of the world as the master race (Bugliosi, 1974, 284–290).
The only problem with Manson's prophecy was that Helter Skelter never came. So he sent Family
members out to kill Sharon Tate and friends and instructed them to make it appear as if the blacks

The Plot and Subplot of Walk Two Moons
The novel Walk Two Moons shows many subplots and stories, however one is focused on much
more than any of the others. This subplot shows Sal's story in Ohio, about her friends, about a
woman with wild red hair, and about a lunatic.
Sal says that the story starts when her father unexpectedly makes sal go along with him to Euclid
Ohio. They stop in front of a house and her father explains that this is where Margaret lives. Sal says
she then sees a face in a window, a girls face. This is where her adventure begins, a tragic,
wonderful, life–changing adventure. Sal explains that Phoebe's story is in many ways the same as

In the story, it is shown that Phoebe's mother leaves her family, just like Sal's. It is told that Phoebe's
mother left for a reason similar to Salamanca's. As Sal's mother left because she felt she wasn't good
enough for her husband and daughter, Phoebe's mother left because she felt she lived an
insignificant life. Both of them left because they believed it would be better for her families. Both of
their families felt different than they did.
Phoebe believes that this is because of the "lunatic". Later, when sal and Phoebe go to find the
lunatic, they see him with Phoebe's mother. At the end of the book, sal expresses that she is jealous
because Phoebe found her mother, and she did not find hers.
Sal once again shows how both of the two stories tie together in the end in the chapter "Bybanks".
She says, "My mother's story was behind Phoebe's" (Creech, 260). This helps us to understand that
both of these stories are in many ways the same. Another example is how both stories focus largely

The Purpose Of The Hippie Movement
The Hippie Movement began in the 1960's and is viewed as a resistance towards mainstream
America as a whole. The movement was a response to the United States involvement in the Vietnam
War. The Hippie Movement initially blossomed on college campuses in the United States and
continued spreading abroad to parts of Europe and Canada ("Hippie Subculture"). Throughout the
decades, the purpose of the Hippie Movement has changed, and its prominence has decreased. This
movement began in the 1960's with the intention of bringing social change. Today, the Hippie
Movement is practiced to find a sense of identity. The Hippie Movement's exact purpose has
changed throughout several years, and today the meaning of the movement is rapidly fading.
In the 1960's, the Hippie Movement was lead by Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, and during this
time one of the primary purposes was to separate hippies who were, followers of the Hippie
Movement, from the mainstream materialistic society in the United States to establish social change.
("Hippie Subculture"). The followers of the Hippie Movement otherwise known as hippies have,
"Evolved from the beats of the 1950's and the bohemians of the decades before that, but it would be
hard to see them as coalescing into anything that amounted to a distinct social movement before
about 1966" ("Families and Communes" 87). Hippies preached love and were against violence.
Hippies at the time were in opposition to the Vietnam War and the cruelty against
