Turning a New Leaf
Turning A New Leaf 1-turning a new leaf is a phrase used to show that a person has changed by starting fresh. This applies to Dick because he "turned a new leaf" by getting a job and he stopped drinking. Julia turned a new leaf by becoming much more mature during the story. Julia lives up to the phrase because she actually gets more mature as opposed to Dick who sort of lost it at the end. I would say that Julia is the protagonist in the story.

5- In the story Phil is in love with Julia but she rejects him at first because she used to have a high standard for boys that no one could meet up to. In the story Phil is always looking out for Julia and trying to protect her. At the end of the story she finally comes around and realizes that Phil is a great guy and that is why she marries him. 1-turning a new leaf is a phrase used to show that a person has changed by starting fresh.
