But when his sister decides to run away to California and protests about the Vietnam War, she tells Holling that she is doing so to "find herself". Over time, Holling starts to develop his idea of finding himself, and eventually be able to stand for himself in front of his father. Heather Hoodhood is another character who plays a critical role in Holling's relationship with others.

Baker is probably the most important person to Holling in the story.

In life, things will change and you might have harsh or nice reactions to them. It might not be obvious, but everything is slowly changing. You also might need to push through some changes. In the short story, “Last Kiss” by Ralph Fletcher, the character experiences horrific change: his father and him are drifting away. He needs to push through this change. The story teaches that things will change even if you don’t want them to. The text teaches this in the beginning, in the middle, and most of all in the end.
Is everybody born purely good inside? Or are we all filled with certain amounts of good and evil? In Lord of the Flies by William Golding a plane full of school boys lands on a deserted island, killing all the adults. With no adult supervision or civilization the boys descend back into the madness and savagery that is human nature. In Lord of the Flies by william Golding his character Simon uses spiritual power by finding out what the beast really is, showing how he failed to warn the others, how his use of the power affected the book as a whole, and how spiritual power is in the real world.
His morals and convictions change. The way he views humanity as a whole changes. He started off with questioning everyone's existence but later through his transformation welcomed humans and the idea that death creates commonality among them. He did not seek out connections but let them causally happen upon him; for example his neighbor Raymond and his girlfriend Marie.
Growing and changing is something that everyone must do, but everyone does it in a different way. When kids grow up they hit puberty, and their voices and bodies change causing them to look very different from when they were a kid. They then go on to change even more, but this change is different. They change their views on the world, but the older they get, the less they change. This means that people change the most when they are young. When they are young, they are more vulnerable and easily influenced, thats why they are always changing their opinion on things. When they get older they have their set opinion and that rarely ever changes. In “A&P”, the main character, Sammy, goes through a change that gives him more insight on the world
Change is something everyone is subject to based on their environment. We see change, positive or negative, over time in all of our main adult characters with their relationship to the sin the scarlet A represents. In some characters we see a positive and beneficial to personality and in others we see destructive and harmful change. In Amanda L. Chan’s article,”Personality Can Change Over Time, Study Suggests”, she suggests that,”the personalities of the people in the study changed just as much as the other outside factors over the four years, and the changes in personality were able to predict whether the study participants’ life satisfaction also changed”. Hawthorn’s,”The Scarlet Letter” supports this idea that personality changes over time.

The play demonstrated how the situation spiraled out of control, but one mistake after another. This family was completed shattered by the events of the mother having sex with her son, (Tilden) and her husband drowning the baby. This led to Tilden being a complete emotional wreck and having no direction in his life. Tilden seemed like he was mentally handicapped throughout the play. Bradley had lost his leg in an accident and has no purpose in his life except bullying his brother and his father. Bradley also seemed like he was mentally handicapped. Halie yells and screams at all family members; she handles all her frustrations by going out and having an affair with the minister of her church. There was mention of another son, who was murdered on his wedding night. This son, was a star athlete and was the apple of his mother’s
Parent and children relationships are the main point of a play in many literary works. Through their relationship the reader can understand the conflicts of the play, since the characters play different roles in each other’s lives. These people are usually connected in physical and emotional ways. They can be brother and sister, mother and daughter, or father and son. In “Death of A Salesman,” by Arthur Miller the interaction between Willy Loman and his sons, Biff and Happy, allow Miller to comment on the father-son relationship and conflicts that arise from them. In “ The Glass Menagerie,” by Tennessee Williams shows this in the interaction between Amanda and her children, Laura and Tim.
First of all, we can see this theme of change and changlessness in When You Are Old by William Butler Yeats when he forever wants her love, but her love in return is always changing. In this poem, a man is writing to a woman who has rejected him. He tells her that when she is old, and no longer attractive, she’s going to regret losing him. An example of the previous stated theme is expressed when he writes: “How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true, but one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face.” ...
Throughout my live, my behavior towards change has evolved into a more mature acceptance of the inevitable. As an adolescent, I failed to contemplate the reasoning behind changes that occurred within my life. I neglected to seek the deeper meaning of why modifications were being implemented. However, as an adult, I consider the rationale and possible outcome of the change taking place. I have grown to realize that the success of each individual situation depends on the attitude it is approached it with (Blais & Hayes, 2011).
An individuals experiences, past and present provide a significant basis for the type of person they will become. Relationships that are established during childhood and adolescence are important for the shaping of someone's personality, as most personality development occurs in the early stages of life. Experiences that someone must deal with in the present sense also contributes to their personality. Dominick Birdsey in Wally Lambs novel I Know This Much Is True, suffered his entire life experiencing every emotion humanly possible in his current stretch of forty five years. The sad and stressful episodes of his life began to take their toll sending Dominick began to grow into a depression and question his reason for living.
In my life, I have been exposed to a challenge called change. Change can occur in many different ways and is dealt with in many different ways. I have come to the awareness that change can be the deepest of all things. I always thought that change occurred when you moved to a state or when you lost someone real close to you. Those are a challenge to change, yes, but change doesn’t have to occur over a climactic incident. It can just appear overnight when your brain winds up when it’s time to do something different. Even with friends that you used to have and know that move on. For example, most of my friends from elementary school, I don’t even talk to them anymore.
