Walk Two Moons (Blog #1)

While reading the book, Walk Two Moons, by Sharon Creech, there were many differences between the Finney family and the Winterbottom family. The Winterbottom
family is more mannered and peaceful, but the family aren't in a that good relationship.
Mrs. Winterbottom tries to care for everyone, and want to obtain there love, but her
family members mostly ignore her. On the other side, the Finney family has hard times
adjusting to Mrs. Finney move out with a divorce, but are mostly happy. Gramps and
Grams are always trying to make everyone happy, and are always there for the family.
In my point of view, the Finney family are happier then the Winterbottom family. The
Finney family are never fighting, and act like a family. The Winterbottom family are
mostly always seperated, and seem to have problems.
The boys behavior of sucking the poison out of Grams leg surprises me, because
when Sal, Gramps, and Grams first met him, it looked like he was someone who was
going to hurt them, and was mean bye lying that it was private property. The reason why
it surprised me was because Tom Fleet looked like he wasn't nice to people, and didn't
care of other peoples mistakes. When Gramps was about to suck the blood and poison out,
he volunteered by himself saying that he would do the sucking of the poison. I also kind of
think that he likes Sal because he talked about how he liked her hair and he also gave her
his address. He also did not accept the money from Sal.
Sal's mother permanantly not returning home changed the additude of Sal while
her dad kind of stayed the same and changed. Since Sal did not feel the love, hugs, and
kisses from a mother, whenever someone touched her, she usually flinched. After Sal's
mother moved away, Sal's father still bought her presents, and stacked them in the bedroom.
He changed by when he was still expressing his love to her, as time passed on he kind of
started dating Mrs. Cadaver. Sal did not like this and did not want to see her, hear from
her or do anything with her ever. He didn't understand how her father was dating someone
like Mrs. Cadavar. It just didn't make sense to her.
