In literature (and sometimes in life), dreams are often glimpses into the future and hints about things that the main character is going through. Just as in life, dreams in literature are often communicated to us through symbols and pictures. Interpreting these images can help us understand more about our lives and the lives of the characters we read about.
At the end of chapter 26 in Walk Two Moons, Sal has a dream about her mom. Now it’s time for you to interpret her dream. What do you think her dream means? What does it tell you about Sal’s mom? Does it tell you anything about Sal? Let us know what you think!

I think the meaning of Sal’s mom climbing up the ladder and up and up that means Sal’s mother was going farther away from Sal. And Sal looking for her but Sal’s mom forgot about her. I don’t think Sal’s mom died.
April 15, 2013 at 10:25 pm
I think the meaning of Sal’s dream is that her mom climbing up the ladder means Sal’s mother probably died and went to heaven. It tells about Sal because Sal may become grown up, knowing her mom is dead.

I think the fact that Sal’s mom kept on climbing the ladder in Sal’s dream and didn’t stop, even though the mom saw her, is that the mom has died. I think that’s the case because if she was climbing up a ladder, up in the sky, into the clouds, that would probably be heaven. If Sal’s mom saw Sal, she would get back down and come to Sal because Sal’s family is a really loving family (we learned that previously in the book).

I think the meaning of Sal’s dream of her mom climbing up the ladder and saw her and didn’t come down is that maybe it’s a foreshadow that the mom died and went to heaven. I think Sal is going to have a harder and sadder life, because it’s actually really hard to get over someone that died.

Stephanie, i like the way you used the word foreshadow because we’ve learned this word previously in the year, and that shows that you are interested and maybe you enjoy using vocabulary words.
April 15, 2013 at 11:15 pm
I thought the mom climbing the laders ment that she is dead or is going to die. The dream told me that she is dead. Sal might try to save her mom if she is still alive.

In the end of chapter twenty six of Walk Two Moons Sal has a dream about her mom. The dream Sal had was that her mother was far off in the distance and she was climbing up a ladder and that she didn’t see Sal and she just kept going. This foreshadows that Sal’s mother will die, I think this will happen because I have heard of the gateway or stairway to heaven and the ladder represents the stairway and heaven is one of the places you go when you die. This also tells us that Sal is far from her mother and that she probably doesn’t understand that her mother is dying or dead because of the distance between the two, Sal and her mother. The end of chapter twenty six of Walk Two Moons show some very interesting foreshadowing.

I really like how you included the stairway to heaven and I didn’t think of that and I think you might be right. keep making good comments and I hope you are right that Sal’s mom is going to the stairway to heaven.

In the story “Walk Two Moons” Sal dreams of her seeing her Mom climbing up a long ladder. I think this means the Mom going to die. I think this because climbing a ladder is like flying to heaven.

At the end of chapter 26 in Walk Two Moons, Sal has a dream about her mom. The dream is that Sal is using a pair of binoculars to see her mom climbing a tall ladder. Her mom couldn’t see her, she never came down. Sal’s mom kept on going. The binocular means that her mom is very far away. The mom climbing up a tall ladder means that Sal’s mom is going to die!

I also agree with you India plus you have ver good way of explaining about the prompt.
April 17, 2013 at 10:13 pm
I agree with you Juan because how Sal was using a binocular in her dream, it meant that she was far, far away.

In Walk Two Moons in chapter 26 Sal had a dream that her Mom was climbing up at really tall ladder and never came back down. This is foreshadowing to me that when the mother had a miscarriage it was not Sal’s fault. It was actaully the mother’s fault beacuse when your pregnant you shouldn’t be doing stuff like climbing a ladder. So she climbed the ladder and that is what made the mother have a miscarriage. What this tell’s me about Sal is that she will now know that she was not the one who made her mom have a miscarriage and that will let her know more why the mom has left to Lewiston,Idaho.

In the end of chapter 26 of Walk Two Moons Sal has a dream of her sitting in a grassy place looking through binoculars at her mother. Her mom is climbing up a ladder into the sky. I think

In the novel Walk Two Moons, at the end of chapter twenty six, Sal has a dream of her mother climbing up a mountainous ladder non-stop. I think that this foreshadow means that Sal’s mother had passed away because in Sal’s dream her mother doesn’t stop climbing, even probably past the clouds. I think this tells that Sal’s mother is a seceretive person because ,based on the foreshadow, she might have been really sick and haven’t told anyone. So that’s why she could have passed away. I think that this tells about Sal because she is starting to think about her mother more.

In chapter 26 in walk two moons sals mom climbs a ladder in a dream. That can foreshadow that sals mother might die in the story that is because she climbs a tall ladder in the story which is like going to heaven.In the story she’s going two find out that she is dying she will become more sad but she will overcome it in the end. this is my response for chapter 26 in walk two moons.

In chapter 26, Sal’s dream of her mother climbing a really long ladder and not coming down means that Sal’s mom is going to heaven or she is dead. It tells us that probably because of the baby dieing and that she cannot have anymore babies she left and in that sorrow she died. I think it tells us that when Sal gets to Idaho to see her mom on her birthday she will find out that maybe her mom is not alive anymore.Plus I predict that when Sal finds out maybe her mom is dead she will tell her dad and her dad will not be able to bear this and not marry Mrs.Cadaver. Then Phoebe’s mom will maybe take care of Sal and all her family members Plus her grandparents will also die later in the book.

I think the dream of sal which is her with binoculars watching her mom climbing the big ladder means that she is going farther away from sal. I think this because like if you go high to something it means your leaving it so I think the mom might be going away from sal. Also i think she might die because shes climbing away like something might happen to her.
April 16, 2013 at 3:29 am
In the book “Walk Two Moons” Sal had a dream that her mother was climbing a tall ladder and I think that the dream tells us that her mother will die because it looks as if she was climbing to heaven.

In chapter 26 the novel Walk Two Moons, Sal had a dream about her mother. The dream Sal had was about Sal’s mom climbing a ladder and didn’t stop while Sal was peering through a binocular watching her every step she takes. I think that the dream foreshadows Sal’s mom dying because when someone keeps climbing up and up a ladder or staircase, it might mean that the person is going to heaven. Also, I think Sal’s dream foreshadows that her mom is already dead or dying because Sal was really far away and she can’t say a word to her mom since she is so far away and her mom is getting higher and higher every minute. In conclusion, the end of chapter 26 of Walk Two Moon shows that something very important will happen to Sal’s mom.
April 17, 2013 at 10:43 pm
I agree with Carmen because each step you take you go farther and farther and when you reach the end you reached heaven and when you fall off a really tall ladder and you don’t have a parachute you will automatically die.

In chapter 26 Sal has a dream that her mom is climbing up a ladder. When Sal is watching her mother she is looking through a pair of bonoculars. The bonoculars represent that Sal and her mother are very far apart. They show that they are far apart because when you look through bonoculars you are most likely looking at something far away from you. Sal’s mother climbing up a ladder represents that she is going to heaven. This represents that she is going to heaven because she kept going and going and going. Heaven is a far way from Earth so If she kept going up that means she is going to heaven, Which means she died. Another thing that the ladder can possibly mean is that Sal’s mother is way more mature than her. It could mean she is more mature than her because she is above her and is more grown.

In the book “Walk Two Moons” it explains about Sal’s dream that Sal’s mom is climbing a ladder and Sal is looking through binoculars .What that means is that Sal’s mom might die because every time Sal’s mom goes higher and higher until she reaches the top and dies. This means that Sal’s mom wants to see her left arm which is Sal wants to see her mom in Lewiston,Idaho. This is very exiting in the book “Walk Two Moons”.
April 16, 2013 at 10:33 pm
In the end of chapter 26 Sal had a dream of her mother going up a ladder and not coming back down. Well, I think that the dream means Sal’s mother is walking on her way to heaven maybe Sal’s mom is dead. And the mother wants to communicate with Sal by her dreams. What this dream tells about Sal’s mom is that she didn’t leave Sal or her father because she didn’t love them she left to maybe save them . What this dream tells about Sal is that she must really miss her mother to have a dream of her mother and I think Phoebe might be doing the same .
April 17, 2013 at 9:55 pm
I think Sal’s dream means that Sal’s mother is very far away and she may never see her mother again. Sal’s dream also tells you that Sal is very sad and misses her mother a lot. It also tells Sal may never see her mother again.
April 17, 2013 at 9:59 pm
In chapter 26 novel “Walk Two Moons” revealed exciting news. The main thing that was exciting was Sal had a dream that she was looking through binoculars, and saw her mother climbing up a ladder and she never comes down. What her dream means to me is that her mom died and is going to heaven. I think this because she is climbing up so she never comes down so she is going to heaven and never comes back. In a novel when a character has a dream it is usually a clue (or hint) what is coming in the future. That is the exciting news that happened in the novel “Walk Two Moons”.
April 17, 2013 at 10:08 pm
In chapter 26 of “Walk Two Moons,” Sal dreams about her mother climbing on a very tall ladder and never came back down. Dreams usually foreshadow what is going to happen next in a story. I think Sal’s dream meant her mother passed away and was going to heaven. She had binoculars in her dream so that might have meant that she is far, far away. In “Walk Two Moons”; chapter twenty-six, Sal has a dream about her mother.
April 17, 2013 at 10:27 pm
In chapter 26 novel” Walk Two Moons” revealed big news about characters. The big news was that Sal had a dream about her mother climbing up a high tall ladder and didn’t stop. What I think that means is that her mother is going to heaven and that means she’s dead and never coming back. Well, also, I think it tells us a little bit about Sal that she will be all sad when she’ll know that her mother is dead. Usually, when a novel has dreams it gives us hints about the characters and about the future.

In Walk Two Moons, chapter 26, Sal has a dream of her mother climbing up a ladder and not coming back down. Sal’s dream is probably forshadoing that Sal’s mom isn’t coming back from “climbing the ladder” which means that Sal and her mother are gettimg MORE and MORE split apart every day. So, maybe every time Sal’s mom takes another step up the ladder, it’s another day Sal and her mom are getting split apart. It could POSSIBLY mean Sal’s mom is dead but I don’t think she is dead.
