The Changes in Characters and Their Reality of Being Straight Forward There are changes in many of the characters when we compare them from the beginning of the story to the end, but the person which changes the most would be the character Claire. Towards the end of “Life in the no-dating Zone”, she successfully changes for the better. Throughout the story, Claire starts off by having a certain view and belief on dating, but as the time passes she builds up more intrigued with Grey. So should she break her no dating vow? She ends up coming to the realization that she made the vow not to protect herself, but to protect her parents. She comes to this realization through Grey, he tells her to realize that her parents relationship has nothing …show more content…
Even though she is honest and straight forward with people most of the time, she has struggled being honest with both her parents and Grey. It takes her a very long time to finally talk to her parents about the true reason why she made the no dating vow. “Claire told Nyssa to talk to you.” (Page 51) “I gave her my standard ‘talk to him’ advice.” (Page 53) Since she’s made a vow it takes her a while before admitting to Grey that she likes him. Even after she admits that she likes him she is hesitant on breaking her vow in order to date him. “I broke my dating vow. I broke my vow and talked to my parents and things were seriously weird, but it’s all out there now.” (Page 307) 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. “I’ve just fallen in love with bowling.” (Page 311) “And I’ve just fallen in love with popcorn.” (Page
I chose Jack and Barry for the characters with the most overall change because it is plain to see they made the most noticeable improvements. Barry is Schizophrenic so he gets anxious and is easily made nervous. When Barry’s abusive dad comes for a visit they go to the golf range where Barry gives golf lesions, Barry tries to show his dad how to swing and his dad freaks out because Barry is nervous and can’t hit the ball, Barry’s father’s agitation throws him into a schizophrenic fit. After he gets better Barry goes and dose he’s shot for Jack and hits the ball. Jacks lesion starts when he realizes they aren’t making enough money and that his going to need a new and better job. In the end he realizes that the boys don’t need him as much as he taught and he can now move on with his life without worrying about if the boys can make it in the real word without
And lastly, the change from a smaller concern for just the family to moving into a larger world-view and concern for all of humanity is illustrated in the character of Ma Joad. Ma comes to realize as she feels at first she is losing family members through the
Change is shown significantly throughout the film as towards the end of the film Kat has transformed in to a completely different person. Kat doesn’t have anymore outbursts in class; she isn’t sent to the guidance office, has less run In’s with her sister Bianca and she becomes accepted by her peers. Her transformation is the result of affection as Kat is tamed by love.
Characters change in good ways and the book itself shows the readers how something terrible changes people, even real life. Parents will always say to their little children “little things matter so help”, Mrs.Reffel, also they would told them in desperate measures help anyone that needs it. In The Killing Sea, Sarah was a little brat, she thought that she was the center of attention and didn’t care about anyone, only herself. When the disaster hit Indonesia, where she went for vacation, something in her says, “We need to change to survive”. Sometimes the world needs to lose something valuable to know they have a lot things that they do not say “Thank you” for. Sarah lost her mom, after she saw her mom dead, she changed. She helped Peter and a whole lot of strangers, and when they were going to a conference to know her story, she decided to wear a scarf, because where she is that is their tradition. Remember that you don’t need to lose something that is important in your life to change and help other
I think that Amelia/Mia Thermopolis changed the most throughout the book. I think this because in the beginning, Mia was never very confident and she never would have thought what was going to happen. When Mia’s dad wanted to speak to her, he told her that she was the princess of a country called Genovia. She started thinking and decided that the only person who would actually want to be a princess in her school would be Lana Weinberger. She then started listing all the reasons why she shouldn't be a princess,”Quote”. This shows how Mia thought she wasn’t ready to be the leader of Genovia.
Another noticeable difference is a couple of the main characters' jobs are different. Asher’s job of Assistant Director of Recreation changed to him being a Drone Pilot, and Fiona's job as Caretaker of the Old transformed into her being a Nurturer. Furthermore, not all characters underwent a job change, but the tone/aspect of their job is clearly different. The Chief Elder’s job became more like that of a Dictator than Saint like.
In addition to the theme that people can change, Amy's "friend", Mark changes. Amy notices that as he gets older, he becomes mean and "smokes" like the older boys. She notices that "kitchen Mark" is not the same as "outside Mark". In support of my other theme in my response, Mark begins to loose who he is.
You’re not the same person you were yesterday. You changed, you grew. Be it physically, mentally, or emotionally. And just like you change, so do characters in books. Take Scout Finch from Harper Lee’s fictional novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. At the beginning of the story, she’s 7 and just learning how the world works. She's scared of her reclusive neighbor and never wants to become what society expects her to be: a lady. At the end of the novel, 4 years later, she realizes that her reclusive neighbor is nothing to be afraid of and being a lady doesn't mean that you aren't strong. Scout changes by learning what real courage is, by walking in others shows, and by learning that things aren't always as they seem.
All characters still go through their trials and tribulations; however, Zoe calms everyone down and sets a softer mood in the book. At least up until the climax of the story.
I think Ellen has changed significantly because early in this book she was shy and timid and now she is open to the world and ready for any task. Earlier in this book ellen was shy. I know this because on page 27 Ellen said “ I wish i could be invisible.” Also, on page 30 she said “Some day I’ll never go out.” This meant that ellen was timid. Grandpa proves this because on page 14 he mentioned “You are too polite and timid.” These facts prove that in the beginning of the story ellen was shy and timid.
Changing from beating people up and stealing their money, to being their friend, is one of the biggest changes that can be made. In the book Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie, the character that changed the most, was named Wesley Cobble. Wesley changed the most for multiple reasons. One of the reasons is that at the beginning of the book, Wesley stole money from Scott and other kids. But later on, Wesley stops stealing people’s money, and even becomes friends with Scott!
Is change always a good thing? Byron and Kenny both change a lot in the book but, who changed the most? Byron had the biggest change. He was mean in the beginning of the book, in the middle he was helpful to Kenny, and at the end he became caring toward his family. Now, where should I begin?
In the book, Legend, by Marie Lu, the main character, June, changes significantly. She goes from being a trouble-making prodigy to an impressive agent. She goes from being furious with a criminal who supposedly killed her brother to being sympathetic toward him. Finally, she goes from being proud of her government and rank to being disgusted by the government’s actions and workers.
The person who changed the most throughout the story was Jordan. In the beginning of the story he was a young ten year old who had a dream, a dream to climb mountains and a goal of climbing the Seven Summits. With this goal in mind, he wasn’t really sure what he could accomplish. He was insecure and wasn’t very confident. He ended up starting his goal of climbing the seven summits at a young age of 10. The mountains were a key component of what changed his life. The mountains he climbed created adventure and confidence in his life. He learned how to get through the tough times and experienced the amazing times, where he felt like nothing could stop him. Another component that changed his life was his family and friends. His family encouraged
But he’d continued to run with it. For months he’d been feeding his parents this story of his blossoming relationship with a beautiful girl — a local, in fact — who happened to live in the same building as he did. Some would call that fate. He called it bullshit. His family called it a miracle. And now they wanted to meet her. He’d never shown them a picture, never even given them a name, but his parents — and by extension, his whole extended family — were deeply invested in this beautiful new relationship. You’d think he’d already proposed, with way they’d latched onto the story — the collective sigh of relief, and all the curious and congratulatory messages he’d
