Ellen Shy And Timid Analysis

Susan Cain, a well known and appreciated writer from America in the field of psychology, recently held a speech on one of the famous TED talks and entirely captured me by trying to give the audience an understanding of introversion.

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.

I think Mrs. Fletcher did change however. At the beginning of the story it seemed that she was irate when she found out her pregnancy was the topic of discussion at the beauty parlor. ??Who was it?? demanded Mrs. Fletcher.? By the end of the story, once they had talked about everything that had happened to Mrs. Pike and her husband, Mrs. Fletcher felt fine about talking about the pregnancy. ?I guess I better learn how to spank little old bad boys,? as if once the attention was on someone else, she no longer cared about people talking

    With only a week left at the house, there is a distinct change in the narrator. She becomes bolder in her interaction with

Há’s life has changed in several ways. One way Há’s life changed is that she started to get bullied. For example, on page 196 it says, “She should be a pancake, she has a pancake face.” This shows Há is getting bullied because someone called her pancake face. Another way Há’s life changed is she felt dumb when she first got to Alabama. For instance, on page 156, it states, “I’m furious unable to explain I already learned fractions and how to purify water.” This shows Há felt dumb because she is learning the same thing over again.

Another change was when Anne knocked milk onto Mrs. Van Daan's fur coat. In the story, Mrs. Van Daan lets Anne try on her fur coat. After she tried it on, she started to talk about how she was going to move to Paris after the war and become a model in a fashion show. As she was prancing around, she knocked her cup of milk onto Mrs. Van Daan’s precious fur coat. Mrs. Van Daan screamed at Anne and made her feel very guilty. Anne’s guilt changed her and she became more sensible and careful.

To start with, Ellen wasn’t in the best of situations when this whole story started- her mother was sick with rheumatic fever, and her father was a drunk

person, or growing up. Her views of the world mature at a young age, as

Another characteristic that Ellen had at the beginning of the book that she overcame was she couldn’t stand up for herself. Evidence that explains this claim is on page , where it says,” Get your water out of the gutter,” she cried. Ellen turned and ran.” This shows Ellen couldn’t stand up for herself because she just turned and ran from Dicey instead of standing up for herself and fighting back. In the end she stands up for herself on page 164, where it states,” ” Are you here again?” she cried as she walked toward Ellen. “ Yes, I’m here again!” Ellen put down her bucket.” This shows that she stood up for herself because she didn’t turn and run from her fear of Dicey, instead she said that she wasn’t going to leave without stopping the bullying Dicey was

How did Ellen Toliver change from beginning to end? Ellen Toliver was meek, mild and nice in the starting of the book .In the end of the book Ellen was brave, strong thoughtful, and she was able to things she had never done before in her life .

Out of all the characters, I believe Claire is the person that changed the most through the book. She changed in a very positive way. Claire gets over her nerves and talks to her parents and becomes more honest and straight forward with them. Also, Claire decides to break her no dating vow. She makes her decision on what benefits both her and Grey. Now that she has decided to break her vow, they both can have a relationship and find love with one another.

The character and the language remain the same. The aspect of having an unsuccessful adoption also remains; however, the adjusted chronology causes the two stories to no longer be identical. Evidently, the stories have varying storylines. For instance, the Letter, depicts a woman waiting for the news that her adoption was successful. In the other story, Gratitude, the woman had already been given the letter, therefore, she has developed the gratitude for the blessings in her life. The dialogue was rearranged and the location of paragraphs were both changed in order to disrupt the chronology of the first story. Changing the timeline caused the storyline to change because when the character had already been given her dream, the character could no longer be anxious and wait for this dream. Additionally, changing the timeline also caused the storyline to change because it made more to add a flashback into the story and then refer to the events in the flashback in the past

One of the characteristics Erica possesses that make her a personification of America after 9/11 is that she has a change of identity.
