Question

In Chapter 40, of Walk of Two Moons, Sal receives the gift of a chicken from Ben. The Chicken's name is Blackberry. Explain the irony in Ben's gift and the name he gives it.

Now i know that Blackberries remind Sal of her mother. Because she is sweet and I also know that she remembers her mother eating blackberries and kissing a tree.

The irony in Ben's gift because he knows blackberries hold a special place in Sal's heart because of many different reasons. Blackberries remind her of her mother, and she has many emotional memories with her mother.

Answer 9

You guys are all wrong. Come on! In chapter 32 when mr Birkway was reading the journals, he read 2. One was from a girl who told another girl kisses taste like chicken. One was from Sal's journal and she talked about kissing a tree and detecting a trace of a blackberry kiss from her mother.

Answer 10

I didn't finish the answer before I posted it, but when Ben gave her a chicken named Blackberry it alluded to kisses and her and Ben had kissed.

Answer 11

All these answers are basically the same and their all wrong. It is that Sal likes the chicken because he likes to feed the chickens.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Everything even remotely related to chickens Is a lie, its because her mother was quite fond of blackberries, and she has a dear mem(e)ory of her mother that included blackberries, I can't remember the memory though
