Blue Revisions: Difference Between James And Nipsy

There are so many ways and reasons that people can change. You can change for love, passion, or to fit in. There are many more things that can change a person. I’m taking two stories and looking if the characters changed or stayed the same.

Throughout plots and themes of stories, characters have a place in the story. Characters can change in novels whether it is good to bad or bad to good. In Kathryn Stockett’s novel The Help many characters change their outlook on life. One of the characters, in particular, that has changed the most is Aibileen. Aibileen has changed throughout the story the novel with her confidence, her actions, and her intelligence.

In Joseph Harris’s chapter “Revising” which was originally published in his book, Rewriting: How to Do Things with Texts in 2006, Harris emphasizes the importance of the revising process, how to revise and improve effectively, and informs us about the fact that revising is overlooked and rushed by writers today. He shares tips on how to effectively revise and demonstrates using excerpts within his chapters.

As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said, “You can not change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust the sails”. This quote and your novel I feel truly fit together like a puzzle piece. Recently completing your book, Elsewhere, has made me notice the importance of making the most of life and that when it seems hard, it’s just part of growing up. Especially with both characters Owen and Elizabeth, you see a true difference in their personality from beginning to end. Even though on the outside the characters are getting younger, internally they are maturing and learning to move on. I could really relate to these characters as they struggle through their life in Elsewhere, by completing their goals that I can relate to in my own life on Earth. Letting

Nick, the narrator throughout the book, experiences changes but not as many as other characters. Nick was a shy

Both authors agree that positive things came out of the traumatic events in his/her childhood. “Cut explains how the boys were positively change by being cut. Greene states, “I don’t know what went on in my head following the day when I was cut. I don’t know if all of that came from a determination never to

Change can be seen as a form of transformation or conversion. A form of change can be seen in “Victory Lap” by George Saunders, a short story written in such a way that the events that are enrolling throughout the story are being processed and told through the minds of three main characters. Having the perspective of each character allows us, the readers to get a much greater understanding about them and to make a better character analysis. Having said that, this story is simply about a girl, Alison getting kidnapped by an unnamed kidnapper. What were really captivating were the changes spotted on characters as the conflict progresses. One character in particular is very intriguing and his name is Kyle. One of our main character, Alison

Throughout the revision process, I had the opportunity to discover my voice as a writer and engage in the conversation that is academic writing. In my final paper, I tried to reinforce the idea of a roadmap to guide my reader along my thought process. During my Embedded Writing Consultant appointment, I walked through the guidelines of a roadmap with Amarachi, and she emphasized the importance of a roadmap in reorganizing my paper. I realized that I could clearly articulate what I wanted to state by explaining it to her out loud, but when I translated such ideas to my paper, the main point oftentimes became lost. You mentioned something similar in your feedback, as many of the points I made did not connect to my central claim. Recognizing that I needed to emphasize my plan and then carry it out, I rewrote my paper with this in mind.

If there is one thing that is known about language, it is that it is an ever changing and evolving phenomena. Words are added, borrowed, dropped, and changed with surprising frequency, yet the changes occur so gradually that many do not notice just how often such shifts take place. There are numerous words that are used in every day speech whose meanings have long since been altered. An interesting example of such a shift can be found in the word nimrod. Most who are familiar with the word know it as being synonymous with idiot or fool, thus it comes off as a bit of shock to learn that word’s origins are rooted in the Bible. This leads to the question of how nimrod’s meaning changed from a biblical great hunter to idiot? The answer can be found within its frequent use by cartoon icon Bugs Bunny. The rabbits continued use of the term as an insult led to the word’s meaning being completely altered (Garner). The changing of this meaning is important not because of another insult being added into the large repertoire of American derogatory terms. Rather, it illustrates the strange fluidity of change that occurs within language.

One important revision I made to my story is regarding the bad decisions my character had made because before my revision, I lacked information on my character’s horrible decision and it wasn’t enough to show how my character changed. For example, “Aside from making fun of nerds, Clover went along with many acts that involved trespassing on private property.” The sentence was included after my revision and it made tremendous impact on my story because my story is about my character, Clover, and how she changed from a bullied victim to someone more daring. She used to be the type of person that isolates herself from the rest of the world, resulting many people to bully her, changing her overtime under the realization that she needed friends.

With the end of the story approaching, Nathaniel undergoes the greatest change of his journey throughout the novel. Nathaniel begins to take leadership and prove himself worthy of having control. As the novel states,

Clifford changed the most in this novel upon his release from prison for thirty years. He was framed for murder which he did not commit, which put him in jail for thirty years. After getting out of jail for that long is a huge shock cause a lot could change and Clifford needs to figure out how to go back to his old life. He needs to be able to adjust to the different atmosphere rather than the one he had in prison. Clifford was influenced by other and had to make a change to get his life back on track.

Prior knowledge on writing and grammar were also applied throughout the process of creating the project. I once read that when writing, one should write straight through before returning and editing the existing work. This pushes the writer to continue forwards instead of back, which I found to be true. Now that the first draft is complete, I can continue editing and improving the novelette. My previous knowledge on grammar was also used to edit portions of the novelette that were grammatically

The greatest of these revisions will include additions to the narrative in the form of viewpoints from other characters through the use of correlating these viewpoints into chapters that will interchange with
