Alabama Moon 2/16/15

Alabama Moon
By: Watt Key
Pages: 87-160

Prompts: 1) Analyze how your feelings change about a character as you read this story and why. 2) What was going through your mind as you read?

        While in jail, Moon meets a boy named Hal. You may a have a bad impression of Hal, but that could change throughout the book. Hal does and says many things in the book that could make you think of him in many different ways. For instance, you might see him as a really bad and mean person, then friendly, then annoying, etc., so how you feel about could change a lot.

        When I was reading this book I pictured the different settings. At the beginning of the book I thought about Moon and Pap's shelter and also about Mr. Abroscotto's store. Towards the middle of the book I can picture the squirrel hunting lodge that was built near Moon's shelter. I pictured the shelter as being small with leaves surrounding it.  

        Other things that crossed my mind as I read was how the different characters Moon met looked. He's met many people during his journeys. Each time the author described one of them I could picture what they looked like. For instance, when Moon met Kit during lunch I pictured Kit being skinnier than Moon and having white hair as the author described.

  1. Nice blog. I feel like Hal relates to a lot of people in real life. You don't know if they are mean or friendly, but when your relationship grows between you and a friend you get to know who they truly are.
