People change and grow through their experiences and conflicts. For example, just 2 years ago I was a sixth grader.

Braverman, the head chef of the diner, had a major struggle that took many years to overcome. At a young age his father left him and his family, he had to be the male figure of the family. That meant going to work to earn money to support his mom and two sisters instead of going to college. Hope, a friend that eventually becomes his girlfriend, didn’t know about this until Jillian, a lady helping with the mayor campaign, told her. Jillian said, “He’s a good guy Hope. He’s staying home to help support his mom and sisters. His dad walked out on the family.” and Hope said, “My heart did a backflip” (Bauer 94). Hope really cares about Braverman, so for her to see even more good things from him, it makes her feel good.

In the beginning of the book Castaway Kid the author shows the theme of hope by showing how Robby lost it. But even when you look at the cover of this book you can just see hope being represented. What I see in the cover is a guy staring out into something he wants, hope, but all the challenges and hurt are represented by the ocean that is in the way of Robby’s hope. In chapter 1, page 5 it says that Robby was dropped off at some home by his mother at the age of 3. At the end of the first chapter Robby questions why his grandmother Gigi would visit but never take him with her. On page 9 it says “And the only one left to hug me was...me”. This quote shows he was heartbroken that his own grandmother wouldn’t take him. In chapter 3 he was five years old when his mother came to visit him at the home.

In chapter 2, the disconnection between Aurora and Felicia originates with the death of Alma. Alma dies, when it was supposed to be Aurora the one that should have died. The only thing that saved her was not following Felicia’s orders, so she moved and didn’t receive the bullet that killed Alma. After this event, Aurora starts to not follow her mom’s orders and ends up leaving Echo Park, their home, and her mom. She decides that she doesn’t want to live her entire life in Echo Park; she wants something more so she leaves in the search of it. Unlike Aurora, Felicia

Other changes are more intense, such as the transition from childhood to adulthood. In Joyce Carol Oates? ?Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been??
