How Byron's Character Changes Throughout The Story

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.

Scott changed the most because he went from being really shy at the beginning and then he got tougher and stopped the people that were bullying him. During the year this other kid named Vernon was bullying him since Scott got to the high school.

In the novel Black by Ted Dekker, the main character Thomas changes heavily throughout the story. At the beginning he is very irresponsible and makes bad choices left and right. By the end he has shaped up and has become somewhat a leader throughout all the challenges he faced.

Jez Butterworth undeniably flaunts the conventions of comedy in Jerusalem to create a profound but amusing philosophical satire, observing and mocking modern society. Morally objectionable ideals present in everyday life are examined and ridiculed, inevitably leading to the development of morally objectionable characters and social groups. As a result, Johnny Byron doesn’t neatly fit the definitions of either a tragic hero or a comedic protagonist but instead has traits of the two. He is both an outrageously hedonistic Falstaffian character whist arousing pity and fear, able to question the motivation of other characters whilst himself being hubristic and unable to admit error. Despite his comedic attributes, Byron’s character undoubtedly lends itself more to the tragic arc as the audience witnesses his bloody downfall from relative grace, evoking both pity and disgust.

There were many significant characters throughout the novel, Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding. One character that changed significantly was Jack. His actions throughout the novel has helped me understand the thought provoking idea that the potential for evil lies within us all.

It is often said that the people one surrounds themselves with can reflect things about themselves, such as their beliefs and ideals. One’s friends and acquaintances can reveal subconscious attractions to people that fulfill their ideals or agree with the things they say, but these relationships can also help one discover their personal philosophies by reinforcing opposing views. Indeed, in J.D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, the way Holden reacts to and interacts with secondary characters reveal his established philosophies and the values he holds most dear to him.

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

How many changes can one boy go through when growing up? Growing up can be very complicated because parents demand more of older children. These increased expectations are often met by resistance which leads to rebelliousness. Byron Watson, a boy who lives in the time of segregation, is greatly influenced by adults expecting more of him. In the novel The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis, Curtis presents the story of a young teenager who struggles in facing the reality that surrounds him. Byron changes his ways to become a caring and responsible boy, even though transitioning can be hard for a boy who is about to become a teenager. Byron changes from uncaring to caring by being more protective. He transforms from obnoxious to respectful by listening to the elders. Lastly, he changes from delinquent to well behaved by not taking chances with Momma and learning his lesson the first time his mom tells him. While Kenny is jawing to Byron, he didn’t know Byron would save his life.

The characters change drastically throughout the novel especially David Strorm. He changes from the young innocent boy to an adult striving for his acceptance. David is brought up in a house hold and community that teaches to not accept deviants. In his adolescence David starts realizing that he is not like the others. He believes that it is ok to have differences, especially when he meets Sophie and the way his community captures her sending her away because they believe she is not the true image of the Lord. “The essential quality of life is living, the essential quality of living is change; change is evolution: and we are part of it. The static, the

Throughout time, everyone goes through changes, whether they’re big or small. Some people become a completely different person. In the story “Touching Spirit Bear” by Ben Mikaelsen, a boy named Cole changes his whole attitude towards others. Cole becomes a different person at the end of the story. Cole Matthews has a dramatic change of heart. Cole changes when he had to soak in the freezing pond, carry the ancestor rock and dance “the dance”. He also changes when he invites peter to the island, he also changes when peter accepts is apology later in the story. Everyone at sometime in their life will change.

Byron started to change when he said “Yes ma'am” to Grandma Sands. Kenny started to change when he told Grandma Sands “He can follow directions real good, Grandma Sands, he’s not as dumb as he looks.”Byron also changed when he told Kenny not to go to Collier’s Landing even when he could have easily gone with Kenny. “I really wanted to go see where some kid drowned and now By was choosing this time to listen to what a grown-up told him”. Kenny changed when he decided to go to Collier’s Landing even though Grandma Sands warned him. “Oh, man! Collier’s Landing…”Finally, both Byron and Kenny changed in the middle, when Kenny drowned and Byron saved him and started to cry like a kindergartener baby. “... all I could do was sit there and let Daddy Cool nibble on my head like a kindergarten

It is commonly said, as well as believed, that change is inevitable. It is bound to happen, whether we choose to believe in this concept or not. An excellent example of change, change of character specifically, would be Eliezer Wiesel in his book Night. He wrote about his time in concentration camps, and the traumatizing experiences he went through, some of which most people can’t even begin to imagine. His mentality changed and developed more and more as the book progressed, he has clearly changed from the once religious and faith-based boy, into an anguished and desolate man.

The narrator is a teacher and he is meant to teach young people to grow up and do the right things in life and watching his brother get caught up in in drug addiction makes him lose respect for Sonny’s values. “I'm surprised at Sonny, though . . . .I thought Sonny was a smart boy, I thought he was too smart to get hung” (Baldwin

George Bernard Shaw once said that, “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” In J.D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher and The Rye, Holden’s fear of change shows us that change, although difficult, is inevitable as one matures from a child to an adult. We see how Holden is overwhelmed with change which makes him enjoy things that stay the same. When Holden is able to look back at this experiences, he matures and is able to grow.

Life experiences can change a person’s character. Those experiences can make a person better than they used to be, the characters will unlock a new mentality that they thought they never had. Also they better at conquering fears and obstacles. Characters in my novels go through lots of change as the stories progress. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, events change the character’s views and behavior throughout the novels. In the novels The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Treasure Island, the main characters in the stories go through a change of personality from their adventures and journeys, encounters with obstacles and antagonists, and the completion of their trials.
