Most journeys involve a change in character. One example of this is the journey of self-discovery that Holden Caulfield undergoes in “The Catcher in the Rye”. J. D.

Mozart’s best music has a natural flow and irresistible charm‚ and can express humor‚ joy or sorrow with both conviction and mastery. His operas‚ especially his later efforts‚ are brilliant examples
