In the book “Wrinkle In Time” by Madeleine L’Engle, the protagonist Meg changes over time. In the beginning of the book Meg is scared ,insecure,and is always looking for a hand to hold.

Why do I always have to show everything?”This means that she was insecure because she feels like everything is her fault and she can't do anything right.My second reason why believe that Meg changed over time is because on (Pg.103 in the pdf ) “since they had begun their journeyings she had been looking for a hand to hold” and Also because on pg.79 when Meg said “journey was …show more content…

I made the mistake of reading the first Little House on the Prairie book once again after finishing the series. It was just so hard to believe that the distinguished Laura Ingalls Wilder was once a naughty five-year-old, always secondary to her flawless older sister. This transformation made me realize that in reality or literature, characters change as they grow.

Many literary works portray growth or refinement of certain characters; physically, mentally, or emotionally.

She feels like she is in love with him even though they have not even properly talked. They end up never talking each other, and a while later they see each other with different dates at the movies. These events prove to me that the girl has changed dramatically throughout the story.
