One change is an external one, she changes her appearance. A quote to support my answer is found on page 227 and it says, “Did you notice her hair? She’s cut it. It’s short.” This quote shows one of the changes that Mrs.Winterbottom made after leaving her family to reconcile herself to her past and her true self. Another quote to support my answer can be found on pages 232 and 233 and it says, “...Mrs.Winterbottom looked different. Her hair was not only short but quite stylish. She was wearing lipstick,mascara,and a little blush on her cheeks, and her clothes were altogether unlike anything I had ever seen her in: a white T-shirt,blue jeans,and flat black shoes. Dangling from her ears were thin silver hoop earrings. She looked magnificent, but she did not look like Phoebe’s mother.” This quote shows all the things Mrs.Winterbottom changed and how different she had become. When Mrs.Winterbottom finds herself her personality changes. She goes from being respectable and perfect to imperfect. A quote to show some personality change is on page 227 and it says, “ In the middle of talking, she leaned over and spit on the grass. Spit!,” This quote shows one of the personality changes that

Many typical adventures in classic novels follow a pattern of events using the archetype, the Hero, which defines the nature of the protagonist’s journey. However, some stories don’t fit the layout of a Hero’s journey. The nature of this story structure often limits itself to the interpretation of a male’s heroic quest involving accomplishments in order to prove one’s masculinity. The alternate story pattern, a heroine’s journey, was created to satisfy the type of journey a female would experience. The heroine's journey defies the general perspective of heroism, instead highlighting the bravery in defying expectations of one’s character and refusing to be held back by the expectations of others. Walk Two Moons is a book written by Sharon Creech which tells the story of Salamanca Hiddle, a teenage girl who retraces the journey of her mother who left her. On her journey, Sal is able to relive her own story through her friend, Phoebe, whose mother also left. The book Walk Two Moons is representative of a heroine’s journey rather than a hero’s journey because Sal must leave her home to escape

If human kind is to conquer the solar system and reach for the stars, we must first start closer to home. In such a situation, creating a colony on our nearest partner celestial body, the Moon, would create an ideal opportunity to learn and explore technical capabilities and human characteristics in space. On board, there would be plenty of science to do, plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of knowledge to learn. However, a lunar base of this kind of complexity can not just be slapped together; it must be designed and detailed beforehand to ensure a safe working environment for those inside and around the lunar base.

Rachel Perkins hybrid musical drama One Night the Moon set in the 1930’s Australian outback and Malala Yousafzai’s ‘speech to the UN’ in 2013 were composed to raise awareness and reveal truths of multiple perspectives, representing the voice of the unheard and disempowered in juxtaposition to the dominant and powerful.

But I never thought of us making anything of one another...’” (Shaw
All of these characters refashioned themselves into something new for different reasons, and for the most part with different outcomes. They all show though that man is put into situations where he has to change. He has to refashion himself to survive. Sometimes we gain friends. Others we gain materialistic things. Then others we learn about whom we are or want to be and grow even more.
Some can be small, large, take place in a moment, or slowly happen in years. Significant changes and turning points make us who we are. They can make our lives better and make us better people, or they can make our lives worse or take a turn down the wrong path. In most stories, we see the characters change throughout the story. They can start out as the best person ever and turn into a bad one, or start out as a grumpy miser and turn into a kind and loving person. In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge’s life had changed from being a grumpy old man to being a kind hearted fellow. Even Jacob Marley, who had planned the visits to help him become a better person, didn’t expect how good Scrooge would become. He said on page 290, “Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father.” Without significant changes, no one would be who they are
