Characters are not ideas. Authors use characters to convey ideas.
Think about the plot of this book.
1) Concentrate on the main character for a moment. Sal doesn't like having to move away from Kentucky. She is unhappy in several ways. [List those ways in which she's unhappy at the beginning; all have resolutions by the end of the book.]
2) What does Sal learn about her mother at the end of the book? Once you realize that, how does your understanding of the rest of the book improve?
3. Concentrate on the grandparents, now. How does the two-part story in this part of the plot work, do you think? Smoothly? Jerking you back and forth from past to present to past … too fast/too much?
4) When do you understand why Sal's grandparents are extra-important to her? What makes that happen, do you think?
list some important ideas that Walk Two Moons include. Why did you choose those ideas?
I would say some important ideas are the characters maybe? I am very confused. Any advice or help on this? It would be much appreciated! :-)

You're welcome.
This happens to be one of the few YA books I have read. Too many times here on Jiskha, students ask about books or stories I haven't read. Then there's not much I can do except refer them to Sparknotes or Shmoop or ??
