Summary Of Dialectical Journal For Sal And Phoebe

Chapter 1: Sal and Phoebe: Deeper Meanings. My thoughts on Salamanca have always been varying. At first, I saw her as rude, or stubborn, “I was not sweet that day. I was being particularly ornery. I wouldn’t sit down and I wouldn’t look at Margaret.” (Walk Two Moons, 10.) But then I realized that she had a good reason.

I think that both plots have more similarities than differences, but the differences are more physical or surface-level, and the similarities are deeper meanings that were developed through truly analyzing the book and that differ from the reader’s
