“Just over a year ago, my father plucked me up like a weed and took me and all our belongings (no, that is not true - he did not bring the chestnut tree or the willow or the maple or the hayloft or the swimming hole or any of those things which belong to me) and we drove three hundred miles straight north and stopped in front of a house in Euclid, Ohio.” pg 1
(This is called the Cloud Gate)
“The city of Madison sprawls between two lakes, Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, and dribbling out of these lakes are other smaller lakes. There are about a million parks and a million bicycles with special policemen and traffic lights just for bicyclists. It seemed as if the whole city was on vacation, with people riding around on their bikes and walking along the lakes and feeding the ducks and eating and canoeing and windsurfing.” Chapter 10. Huzza, Huzza

“I sat on the edge of a gorge in the Badlands looking back at Gram and Gramps and the pregnant woman on the blanket” pg 100
“The Black Hills were not really black. Pines covered the hills, and maybe at dusk they looked black, but when we saw them at mid-day, they were dark green. It was an eerie sight, all those rolling dark hills A cool wind blew down through the pines, and the trees swished secrets among them.”
“It was fine seeing the Presidents. I've got nothing against the Presidents, but you'd think the Sioux would be mighty sad to have those white faces carved into their sacred hill. I bet my mother was upset. I wondered why whoever carved them couldn't have put a couple of Native Americans up there too.”
"By late afternoon, we were well into Wyoming, and I added up the miles left to go. Maybe we could make it, just maybe. Then Gramps said, “I hope nobody minds if we stop at Yellowstone. It would be a sin to miss Yellowstone.” (Creech 168)
“At Coeur d’Alene, we went straight to the hospital. Gramps had tried to wake Gram when he saw the lake. ‘Gooseberry?’ Gramps said. She slumped sideways on the seat. ‘Gooseberry?” pg 171
“He reached in his pockets and pulled out his car keys ‘Here, in case you need anything from the car.’ He handed me a crumpled wad of money. ‘In case you need it.” pg 173
“The Sheriff parked the car and led me up a path toward the river, and there, on a little hill overlooking the river and the valley, was my mother’s grave.”
“In the envelope was a note from Gramps giving the name of the motel he was staying at. Beneath that he had written, ‘I am sorry to say that our gooseberry died at three o’clock this morning.”
Sal's trip with her grandparents was pleasant. They made it to Lewiston, but unfortunately her grandma died and also her mother. Sal moved on by being more mature and facing up with her mother’s death. Before, Salamanca didn't accept that her mother had died, but as the time passed she learned how to move on.
