you were to look at the team of hobbit, wizard, and dwarfs as one character, we would realize that the team also changes as one being. The Hobbit conveys the change of Bilbo and other important characters very dynamic. J.R.R. Tolkien throws us a curveball when he included the character change of Thorin, one of the mentors for Bilbo.

smiling/fun, caring sister” leukemia patient. Though, just when the reader is thinking the twists in the novel couldn’t get any more trite or predictable (another arguable point(I swear this is the last one)), cancer-stricken Kate throws said reader a curveball. Towards the end of the story, Anna reveals to the reader, that in a conversation she and Kate had, Kate admitted that she had no desire to live and had attempted suicide. This revelation, of course, changes the way the reader sees Kate, and realizes

The next study was in 2015 and was a total of 30 baseball players. The players returned to their previous level of competition with an 82% rate.
