Sals journey by Imogen Nicholson https://padlet.com/inicholson/ow8uslkxy7s8frws Made with joy en-us 2021-05-13 16:21:43 UTC 2023-03-23 13:54:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Euclid, OH, USA inicholson https://padlet.com/inicholson/ow8uslkxy7s8frws/wish/1521737122 “Tiny, squirt trees. Little birdhouses in a row—and one of those birdhouses was ours. No swimming hole, no barn, no cows, no chickens, no pigs. Instead, a little white house with a miniature patch of green grass in front of it.”

I think this is important because it tells the reader that it's nothing like her old house and she doesn't like the fact there's no similarities at all. Like how instead of big beautiful trees there's small simple squirt trees and all the houses in her neighborhood are the same.

I think this shows the reader how Sal is thinking of every negative thing about her new town and house. I think she is very upset that she is moving away to this tiny house with nothing she enjoys.  ]]> 2021-05-13 16:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/inicholson/ow8uslkxy7s8frws/wish/1521816144 Euclid, OH, USA inicholson https://padlet.com/inicholson/ow8uslkxy7s8frws/wish/1521819934 “In the shadows on the porch, Margaret's mother, Mrs. Partridge, sat in a wicker rocker. A thick, gnarled cane with a handle carved in the shape of a cobra's head lay across her knees.” 



I think this passage is significant because it shows how creepy she can be and also it explains why people might be scared of her.

 “I have lived most of my thirteen years in Bybanks, Kentucky, which is not much more than a caboodle of houses roosting in a green spot alongside the Ohio River.”


I think that this explains a lot about what Sal might miss when she moves away from Bybanks. I also think this explains what environment she feels comfortable in and where she feels at home.

Mrs. Winterbottom baked and cleaned and did laundry and grocery shopping. I had a funny feeling that Mrs. Winterbottom did not actually like all this baking and cleaning and laundry and shopping, and I'm not quite sure why I had that feeling 
 because if you just listened to the words she said, it sounded as if she was Mrs. Supreme Housewife.”


I think this is significant because it explains a lot about how other people see Phoebe's parents and I think that Sal notices that her mom might not like all this housewife stuff and I think this gives a big clue on how her mom might leave. ]]> 2021-05-14 16:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/inicholson/ow8uslkxy7s8frws/wish/1525300588 Euclid, OH, USA inicholson https://padlet.com/inicholson/ow8uslkxy7s8frws/wish/1526204605 “I did like Phoebe. In spite of all her wild tales and her cholesterol-madness and her annoying comments, there was something about Phoebe that was like a magnet. I was drawn to her. I was pretty sure that underneath all that odd behavior was someone who was frightened. And, in a strange way, she was like another version of me—she acted out the way I sometimes felt.”  


I think this passage is significant because you learn about what Sal really thinks of phoebe and that Sal can relate to phoebe.   ]]> 2021-05-14 21:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/inicholson/ow8uslkxy7s8frws/wish/1526204605
