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 Moons, Sharon Creech, external forces greatly impact Sal’s life growing up.

Change can be seen as a form of transformation or conversion. A form of change can be seen in “Victory Lap” by George Saunders, a short story written in such a way that the events that are enrolling throughout the story are being processed and told through the minds of three main characters.

On her short home visit she was able to see the different between her formal life and her new life. She was struggling to pay rent because her jobs didn’t pay her enough. In previous life she was only concern about writing and she did have to worry about rent money or finding a job.

In my opinion, I think Sal’s mom is already dead. There are two factors that support my prediction, which are on the contents number 2 and 11. To begin with, on the content number 2, when Sal’s grandparents had a plan to drive from Kentucky to Ohio. There are three real reasons why they were planning to Ohio, and one of them was actually ‘Gram and Gramp wanted to see Momma, who was resting peacefully in Lewiston, Idaho’. As you know, Lewiston, Idaho is a crowded place, particularly for the foods, and I think it does not make any sense to live in there since she stated resting ‘peacefully’. From this sentence, I could interpret from the word ‘resting peacfully’ means gone or dead. The second content is about when Ben said ‘’I saw your father

The parents are out at the bar and left Fin in charge to watch Ella (El) and Sammy.

A bit after Fin left, El gets kidnapped and Sammy runs away unexpectedly. Now they are trying to find her and Sammy. The lesson that is trying to be told is listen to what you are told or something bad might happen, and try different things to prevent bad things from happening.
