Everyone probably has a place important to them, Furthermore, this also applies to the protagonist of “Walk two moons” by Sharon Creech. Salamanca can find importance in the locations Ohio, Idaho, and Bybanks for various different reasons.

To begin, when Sal reveals that “ Beneath the tombstone and dates of her birth and death, was an engraving, and her name was Chanhassen sugar Pickford Hiddle. Then I knew by myself, and for myself that she was not coming back.”(Creech 253-254) When the protagonist mentions this, we can infer that the main character would before not realize this information, furthermore, Salamanca would probably never even have a clue about Mrs. Pickford’s death. Secondly, the book mentions “ Mrs. Cadaver was sitting next to my mother, they were strangers when they got on, but by the time they got off, they were friends.”(Creech, 256).

Yesterday, I realized I was jealous of three things”(Creech,264).
