Ellen Toliver Changed
Ellen Toliver Changed in different ways. She changed a lot during this story, here is how Ellen changed.

The first way that Ellen changed is confidence. Before Ellen had to deliver grandfather’s message, Ellen had a lack of confidence. This is how I know that Ellen had confidence “I’m going to run most of the way to get there before dark” Ellen stated this on page 106 before she started walking/running to Elizabeth town.

The second way that Ellen changed, was that she was unafraid. This is sign of evidence that Ellen is unafraid “ Yes-s-s” Ellen said in response to Mrs.Shannon who asked if Ellen had a piece of bread under her jacket. This shows that Ellen is unafraid.

The very last way that Ellen changed is that she stands up

    On a more positive note, we do see a glimmer of change in Elizabeth at the end of the novel. When Hilly punishes Aibileen by framing her for stealing her silver, Elizabeth fires Aibileen, but also apologizes and refuses to press charges against Aibileen. This doesn't sound like much, but for Elizabeth it's a big step. She's actually taken a tiny stand against Hilly and is opening her eyes, ever so slightly, to the truth of…

    This quote from Edna makes me think she felt astray from herself for a long time. In the first sentence, Edna states she’s easily able to give everything else to her children. The unessential, and money, yet the one thing she declines to give is herself. Usually a mother would want to give everything plus the whole world to their child, however the last sentence displays Edna’s desperateness to finally get a grasp at what she has been missing for a long time. Edna’s character from the beginning of the story seemed as if she was unhappy, so it’s of no surprise.…

    Effi’s character definitely changed over the course of the novel. When Effi was first introduced in the novel, we saw her as a young loving girl who was full of adventure and imagination. Matter of fact, her mother often described her character as more of a tomboy than a girly girl. When Effi married Baron von Innstetten, she had this crazy illusion of how she imagined everything to be. Within a matter of time, her husband went off to do his work, leaving her cold, stranded, and lonely in their house. It was evident that Effi’s demeanor and personality begin to change. She longed to have her husband there, but in the midst of all his absences she has an affair with Major von Crampas. This portrays a different Effi than the 17 year old Effi!…
