    Walk Two Moons Analysis

    • 359 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech Sal’s father accuses Sal of “trying to catch fish in the air” (pg. 75) because she was trying to get her father to stop seeing Mrs. Cadaver to get her mother to come back. The author uses this idiom to show that Sal is doing something that is a waste of time because it is impossible to catch fish from the air and it is impossible for Sal’s mother to come back. There have been times in my life when I have tried to do something that turned out to be impossible. For example, yesterday I went to the Oktoberfest in Yorba Linda and there was a silent auction. There was a specific item up for bid that I really wanted. It was a one week rental for a fancy house with eight bedrooms and an ocean view…

    “You’ll just be cold now and not hungry.” Everyone got settled in we got our poles set up with the right weights and lures. That proved to be quite difficult due the fact that our fingers hadn’t fully thawed yet. We dropped our lines into the water and hoped for the best especially with the luck we’ve had the past few years in the same general area. We fished for a while and didn’t get any bites so we added more weight to the lines so the bait would sink deeper and hopefully that would be where the fish were. We dropped our lines into the water and almost immediately my father had something on his line. He reeled in and the fish continued to fight. The fish came out of the water and flopped onto the ice above gasping for air. The monster he reeled in was a walleye no more than five inches long. “I didn’t know we were fishing for sharks.” I said…

    During hot and muggy evening in August, I had just casted out my lure into the pond. I waited a few moments for something to strike. Out of nowhere, it felt like a freight train had hit my line. I was nervous and anxious, for I knew I have never had a fish this huge on the other end of my pole. The line was tight and quickly swaying through the water. My heart began to race, I could feel it in my ears. I reeled faster and faster, but the fish fought harder and harder. I knew that my line couldn’t take it much more, and I absolutely could not lose this fish. I had been sweating bullets for hours with nothing to show for it. I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me by. My pole was bent nearly to 90 degrees. I felt a sudden release of tension. My heart fell, I hoped that it wasn’t true, that maybe the fish had just given up fighting. I reel in, with much less hope than moments before. As soon as my line came out of the water, I saw the culprit. The hook was gone. I had…
