Throughout the book there is many people that go through some sort of sadness. In the book Sal says, “Gramps lay down in the bed and stared at the ceiling. “Chickabiddy,” he said, “ I miss my gooseberry.” He put one arm over his eyes. His other hand patted the empty space beside him” (259). This is one important sad thing that happened to Sal and Gramps because it was Gramps wife and Sals grandma and she was a really important to Sal cause she took her on the journey to find her mother and she had a lot of good times with her grandma. Sal says, “But for now Gramps has his beagle, and I have a chicken

and a singing tree, and that’s the way it is. Huzza, Huzza” (266). This is important to Sal and Gramps because Sal's family moved back to Bybanks, Kentucky and Gramps and Sal went through some hard times and now they are back in Bybanks having a great time in the farm and with all their animals.

Nine hours after the bus rolled over, as all those stretches were being carried up the hill, and everyone despairing there was her hand coming up out of the window and everyone was shouting because there it was, a moving hand.” He glanced at me. I wish it had been your mother's hand” (256). This one important part of the book was talking about there is always hope it is important because the police were telling Sal the story of how the bus crashed and he was saying that he wished the moving hand was Sal’s mothers hand.
