[...] there might be a flow of simple, [uncontrollable] friendliness between them, and such flows were one of Finny’s reason for living” (Knowles 22). This is important because it changes the way Gene looks at Finny and believing that he was a horrible guy. This also means that Gene now sees Finny in a positive way because the way he got them out of trouble. In addition, their friendship is tested when they start to fight with each other and Gene said “it struck me then I was injuring him again.

I would advice Mcmurphy to listen to Chief when he is telling him that everyone is working on him to weaken.Chief tells him that his father used to be big “He was real big when I was a kid.”(pg 219) but “the Combine” which is the government and society got him.Chief tells him The Combine do not directly kill, they instead working on people until they become weak and let them perish on their own.Chief tells Mcmurphy about how they worked on his father, “It worked on him for years. He was big enough to fight it for a while. It wanted us to live in inspected houses. It wanted to take the falls. It was even in the tribe, and they worked on him. In the town they beat him up in the alleys and cut his hair short once. Oh, the Combine’s big - big.

In all stories there is someone who changes after something happens and it turns them into someone they aren't. An example is a person turn into someone you never expected them to be because they are hiding themselves. Its also important to think before everything you do because the aftermath can be unreal. The characters in the“ Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson and the short story,” Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl could have learned their lessons. In the story, “ Possibility of Evil” Miss.Strangeworth takes her hate out to an family by writing letters to them. In “Lamb to the Slaughter” Mary makes a bad decision after finding out her husband is leaving her. These stories tell the reader that people around you have a side they don't show, but sooner or later it will come out of them.

In almost all stories, the main character or characters usually have many personal experiences that change their views in one way or another. Three good examples of this are Abuela Invents the Zero ,Little Women ,and Home .One of these stories has one major experience that quickly affects that character's views. Another story includes many small events and moments that in the end affect a certain character's views and habits. The last story shows how previous life experiences turnout to not only not benefit but actually hurt. Notice that there can be many different kinds of situations that have an influence on a character and can change a character for better or for worse.

Serious events can cause change in a person's life. S.E. Hinton's novel The Outsiders tells a story about a teenage boy, Ponyboy, that lives with his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. Pony and his gang are all poor Greasers so they are constantly mugged by the privileged Socs. Since the Socs and Greasers do not get along and are constantly fighting each other, the kids are almost always injured. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy learns a lot of important lessons because of the events that take place. Pony learns that all Socs are not mean, that Darry does love him, and that there is lots of good in the world. He learns many different things that help his life; however, the most valuable lesson is that all Socs are not rude.

This change is a positive and uplifting change of self for the protagonist in this novel.

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.

Looking at how our two main characters have been affected as individuals shows it took a toll on them both. Now looking at how it affected their relationship as a whole we will see how the situation could have been

One example of this impact is when Kate in the beginning is not influenced by her con man partner and doesn't agree with the things that he does: “We’re the FBI. We don’t do business with international criminals.”(Evanovich/Goldberg 33). In this example Kate is mad at Nick because he made a deal with a criminal to give up a name that they needed, Kate does not agree with Nick and his criminal ways. Another example of this impact toward the end of the book where the narrator is describing how she was getting used to Nicks ways: “It worked. She was getting way too good at conning people.”(Evanovich/Goldberg 323). This shows how Kate has changed from not agreeing to Nicks con man ways to now conning people

Tough times that a person endured could show them a new path of change. People will be able to become who they really are by realizing things that they never knew in problematic circumstances. Bilbo went through his troublesome experience when Gandalf said “If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes.”(19) because at the time, he is still just a regular hobbit. He is persuaded to become a burglar, and going on the journey makes him realize he has a love for travel and adventure. Many other difficult situations have been mentioned in the story, and in most of them, when people help others, they become someone of new. People can become a hero like Bard, the person who killed Smaug and is given the title of “King Bard”(233), or Bilbo, the hobbit who saved everyone and discovered his real passion in life. All of this change is not always going to be about a character change, but times like these, can have a revelation of something dark. Thorin, the leader of the Dwarves - a brave,proud, and strong warrior - has revealed his dark side when they finally recovered the Arkenstone. People went to the castle to ask for some
