Change is an ongoing process that involves the alternation of one state to another. Changing perspective ultimately changes one’s life. Changing perspective is defined as the change of how an individual sees something or someone. Culture, people and life experiences all affect the way our perspectives are melded. The two texts that clearly demonstrate about the idea are the novel 'looking for Alibrandi' by Moira Robinson this concept of change is shaped in terms of the main character Josie’s experience and lessons and also the poem of 'The door' by Mirosalav Holub.
In looking for Alibrandi, there is a very important event that effectively shaped our understanding of the meaning of change is the changing perspective between Josie and her father which is Michael Andretti. First Josie hates Michael and don't want to see him because she think that he abandoned her mother when she get pregnant. However, after she met him she get impression that he is a good person and intelligent. and then after Josie get a fight with Curly Bishap, she calls up Micheal to come and help her because Carly's father threaten her. After Michael show up and solved the problem, she realise that have a father is a good thing and this changing perspective change suddenly while she walk along with Michael after everything solved. On another side there is a similar changing perspective on Michael Adretti, on the beginning Michael doesn't like Josie or want her to come in to his life at all when he know that Josephine is his daughter, as what he says in the novel ' I don't want to see her, I don't want to love her, I don't want a complication in my life'. But as the novel process Josephine and Michael begin to enjoy knowing each other and Michael faces a change in his perspective as a father. After many events happen between him and Josephine, Michael want to become a big part of Josie life. Beside that Josephine have a major theme is identity which is Josephine's culture
