In stories, songs, and movies people change their life and see what they were doing was wrong. The song we listen to was called “The Ledge” and the story we read was called, “Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket”. In the song and story people have changed they’re life in a various amount of ways. There were instances were the events in the story became similar and different. As in the old time I thought…
In the song , the changes are about the changes you go from when you’re born, to when you are growing up. One quote from the song that shows change is,”He was raised to think like his dad narrow mind full of hate on the road to nowhere fast till the grace of god got in the way then he saw the light”. This quote means that they didn’t go through many different…
What change does the main character experience from the beginning of the story to the end?…
To begin with, character change in “Nectar in a Sieve” is shown in different ways. One is shown when Ruku and Nathan are forced into situations they are not fond of. "Let us not sacrifice the future to our immediate need.’ ’What is the alternative?’ he shouted. ‘Do you think I am blind and do not see, or so stupid as to believe that crops are raised without seed? Do you take me for a fool that—‘ He was not shouting at me, but at the terrible choice forced upon us;” (52) This shows how Ruku is forced to side with Nathan due to the fact that there are no alternatives. She is against the idea as well, but there are no alternatives. Another example is when Ira got frustrated when Ruku got pregnant and Ruku had to deal with her. “As my pregnancy advanced she turned completely away from me. Sometimes I saw her looking at me with brooding, resentful eyes, and despite myself I could not help wondering if hatred lay behind her glance.” (75)This shows how some people can’t come to terms with things that they don’t want to face. In this instance, Ira was frustrated that Ruku was pregnant and she wasn’t, causing her to distance her from Ruku, and in the end Ruku lost a good friend and had to cope with it. All in all, this shows how forced change can change how characters are.…
Change is the initial and most noticeable stage of coming of age. It occurs both physically and mentally, and it plays a major role in the configuration of characters.

Throughout time, people have had to go through change. Whether it had been moving to a new city or starting a new job, people all around the world have to deal with it. Every person that has endured change has had their own way to handle it. Some people complain and fail to comply with the fact that change will happen and others strive to be a part of the future to come. Dr. Spencer Johnson took note of this when he wrote “Who Moved My Cheese.” This simple story demonstrated the ways that many people deal with change. Using evidence from the story, I have to come to the conclusion that the best way to deal with change is the same way the Sniff and Scurry did, immediately adapt when change comes.…

Edna kills herself at the end of the novel and frees herself from the social confinements.…
