How Does The Moon Develop Throughout The Book

Moon grows in many ways throughout his whole adventure that the book Alabama Moon tells us. Moon grows and learns new things making him smarter and know more about life and how to act and be around other people. Moon says, “Nossir. I hope I’m done whippin up on people” (192). This shows he has grown and learned violence isn’t always the answer. Moon grows by learning that fighting everyone doesn’t solve everything. Through Moons life he has been taught by his dad that he can whip anyone as big as three times his size but later on when Moon’s dad dies and he goes out to the real world on his own he learns that violence isn’t always the answer and admits he began tired of fighting people. In the book he says he doesn’t want to fight people

Moon has grown his skills of reading and writing. Moon has learned more and has able to read and write better over the years of being in the woods and the little time he spent in Pinson. Moon lived way in the woods with his dad for most of his life and he has never been to school so the only person that taught him to read and write was his dad but he didn’t teach him much so Moon had to learn these skills and when he stayed in Pinson. There happens to be a small classroom where he would learn and when he first got into the classroom the teacher asked him if he could read and write and Moon replied by saying, “Read to myself and write, and I know most anything you can ask me about animals” (85). This tells us that Moon did teach himself how to read and write and also shows how much he has grown by himself without any teachers or educational systems to teach him how to read and write which will help him later on in his life. Moon has increased his knowledge of reading and writing by himself without anyone's help and by learning and growing his ability to do these things it helps him on his adventure he has in the book but he also has grown his social skill and how to act and be around other

He has learned how to interact with others other than his dad and this turned out to be a big part because he used to only live in the woods far away from civilisation and the government so learning this social skill helps him greatly with talking to people that can help him on his adventure and how to just have normal day conversations with others. When Moon broke out of Pinson he had everything set up and ready for the three of them to leave but right before he left he decides to bring all the boys in Pinson along with him “All the other nineteen boys at Pinson got on the bus with their blankets and pillows” (103). Him deciding to do that helps him socially because he is interacting with a bunch of new kids his age and talking to them and telling them to come with him to escape and making friends with Kit and Hal seemed to be a great way he has grown but communication with the other nineteen boys also had a great impact to his social skills and his communication skill with other new people. This shows that Moons communication skills and interactions with others have grown a lot and will continue to improve once he escapes and meets new people throughout his crazy time being free and away from the government Moon has taught and grown so much in many different way either it being social, physical, and or emotional
