Literature Work : How a character changed due to a certain events that have taken place
Out of a million novels to pick from, I've decided the novel Step by Wicked Step written by Anne Fine would be the best one for this topic. Many character has undergone many events in their lives but the most impact change would definitely be Colin.
First and foremost, Colin has changed into a very unhappy and lonely boy. And why is that? All because he had to join a new school when his mother moved out of their home with him, he couldn't do anything, he had no authorities, let alone priorities from his mother. Colin's mother has always prioritize her canteen work over him. Besides that he had to go thru many unpleasant experiences like getting ignored because if you transfer to a school, you basically have no friends unless you're hot or pretty. Because everyone already has their own circle of friends, there's no slot for a newcomer, never. Having many problems is one thing but not being able to share his problems is the worst thing to happen especially when it applies to your loved ones. Colin's mother is so obsess with her job at the canteen and the household chores, she ain't got time for Colin's petty problems. Her own life is already a problem, why would she want more, is what she probably thinks. With these Colin has changed from a jolly and happy go lucky boy into an unhappy and forever alone boy.
Secondly, Colin that has nothing at all becomes a dreamy boy which causes him to daydream everyday and have less focus in his studies or class and thus doing badly in examinations. What could cause him to daydream so much? Mainly would be his dad that he misses so much, after they were separated from each other, Colin has missed him twice the more amount than he had before. For instance, every night he would take the tobacco tin out of the toe of his boot which was his only memorial stuff about his dad and put it under his pillow. Doing that helps remind him of the good old times when they were still together like humming a their favourite song and staying awake for hours talking to his dad. Colin always pretends that his dad was their by doing those what seemed to be memorable things. These are the reasons why Colin has became such a dreamy person, not that charming dreamy person but a all day everyday day dream person.
Thirdly, Colin after all these years has turned into someone resourceful. It was exactly 5 years, 8 months, and 7 days since he was separated from his dad. Now that's an information that is quite shocking to hear, I mean who records duration like this? He has always secretly writes his dad's name and his old address on the forms at school. He couldn't accept the truth that his dad is no longer his dad anymore, all he have was hope but hope couldn't bring him anywhere close to his objectives. Sometimes in life, I do that too but then again doing it is harmless anyway its just all for self happiness. But the least Colin was do was try his very best, he tries to save money and he even does three paper rounds to earn money just to search for his dad when he is older. It was all part of his marvelous plan, waiting to be succeeded when he is older. So with his loss, he became a very resourceful person.
In conclusion, Colin responded negatively to the changes in his life, always sad, dreamy, moody and dull at first. Finally his bulb had lit up and he decided sitting there weeping couldn't solve any of his current problems. He finally decided to do something worthy to search for his dad, the little boy has finally grown mature. In the end, his love and longing for his dad motivated him to become optimistic, resourceful and patient in his mission. The mission to search for his dad.
