One of the most significant external forces that changed Sal was the road trip. In the beginning of the story Sals mom had left her and her dad on an April morning. Then later on in the story her grandparents take her on a road trip to Lewiston so she can see her mom. On the road trip she doesn't want to believe her mother is dead but throughout the story she starts to realize that her mother might be dead. On page 249, the author wrote, “A bus when the of the road here a year ago,” he said. “Skidded right there, coming out of the last turn, and went sliding of this here overlook and through the railing and rolled over and over into those trees. A helluva thing. When I came home that night rescuers were still hacking their way throug the brush to get to in. Only one person survived, ya know.” I knew.” This shows that sal is starting to realize that her mother died on the bus crash. And if Sal didn't want to believe her mother was dead she would have said “no I don't know” instead of I knew. This changed Sal

Sal’s mom leaves her without warning that causes internal conflict. Sal becomes mad at herself cause she thinks it’s her fault that her mom left. “If I hadn't climbed that tree and my mom Cary me maybe the baby would still be alive and my mom would have never left”.This causes Sal to grow when she now knows it’s not her fault her mom left her and her father.

Sal changes because she eventually accepts her mom's death. Sal went on a road trip with gram and gramps to see her mom on her birthday but on they’re way there grams got bit by a snake and she had to go to the hospital because she had a stroke. Sal still wanted to go see her mom but gramps had to stay there with grams. Gramps knew that Sal wanted to see her mom so he gave her his keys to his car and Sal started driving but like two hours later after driving the cop pulled her over and she had to get in the cop car with the cop. The cop took Sal to her mom's grave. Then the cop takes her home and Sal comes to her senses and realized that she is jealous of three things after she says what she is jealous of she says “I miss my mom.” this quote shows that she accepts her mom's

The final theme of memory is shown as Granny weaves in and out of reality and memories of her past. She seems to find strength from being left at the alter and then finds comfort in the memories of her late husband, John, and her children. The memories of the other man make her a bit uneasy with thoughts that her children would find the letters in the attic. There is one moment that she actually wants to tell her daughter to find George and “be sure and tell him I forgot him.”

She wanted to be a role model for her children and at the same time, she wanted to become friend with them. Helen valued education, and she wanted Julie to go to college and have a successful life. However, after she found out that Julie had secretly being together with Tod, the poor, unambitious man. She was disappointed, betrayed, sad. Julie moved out of Helen’s home. Later, when Helen found out that Julie and her husband Tod had nowhere to live, she let them move in with her. She is a permissive parent, yet, she cares about her children, provides them as much support as she can. Helen stayed calm when Gary told her he wanted to live with his dad for a while. I can see her heart was bleeding when she heard her son’s words. She gave Gary his father’s phone number anyway, and Gary talked to his dad over the phone and figured out the cruel fact that his dad didn’t care for them anymore. Helen wanted to comfort Gary but he refused to talk. I felt Helen’s guilt and desperation at that moment. After she broke into Gary’s room and found out that Gary was carrying the bag that contains pornography, she immediately asked Tod’s help to talk to Gary. She had a chance to talk to Tod and had learned that Tod came from a broken family. She had a better idea of who Tod was and his help to Gary gained Helen’s respect.

In Eric Tribunella’s essay “Narrative Loss and the Melancholic Reader of Johnny Tremain”, the concept of failure is one of Tribunella’s main focal points throughout the essay about Esther Forbes’ Johnny Tremain. Tribunella argues that these failures are present because the novel lacks climax throughout the essay’s entirety and without this climax there is no sense of closure in the most climatic events. One particular failure that Tribunella mentions in his essay is the failure of love triangles in the novel. Tribunella argues that there are three love triangles in Johnny Tremain but none of these are fulfilled with a “bang”. Instead each one of these love triangles slowly fizzles out throughout the novel. The love triangles that are found in Forbes’ Johnny Tremain are not those that represent an epic romance but instead they represent those of a childhood crush. These representations can be found in each one of the love triangles that Tribunella argues that is present in the novel.
