Angela Character Analysis

2 this week. The prompt I have chosen is “How has a particular character changed since the beginning of the story? What is the evidence of this change, and what caused this change to happen?” I believe Bryon has changed from the beginning of the book by at first being unthoughtful and troublesome, and then by the end of the book being more mature and intelligent.

Bryon was unthoughtful and troublesome at the beginning of the book. It made sense why Bryon and Mark got along so well when the story got started, since it seemed that they both have an equal liking for messing around, violence, and making money. The one distinct difference between the two, however, is that Bryon still had a bit of smarts. Mark didn’t care at all on what happened
After finding out Mark was the one who got the drugs passed to M&M, he called the police and had him shortly arrested. This was a giant mix of reactions. He had seen that he would now be much more focused and better off in life without being associated with him. Still, it was shown that Bryon was very quiet and incredibly different from his usual self. His grades went up, he stopped fighting and hustling, and got to work on time every single day. When Angela, his ex-girlfriend, appeared at the grocery store he works at, he responded nicely and “actually wanted to know how she was doing” when insulted on what he did to Mark.

Compared to what he used to do, Bryon now actually wants to pursue things in his destiny, and has ultimately changed his image and personality to what he wants it to be. Regarding the question of whether or not this has positively or negatively affected his life, it is a little bit of both. Bryon is now more likely to be successful in his time, and will officially become more a contributing member of society instead of a brutal hoodlum. The downsides, though, are that most of his friends are gone, since he lives in a bad neighborhood. Charlie is dead, and Mark has been put in jail and simply failed to change his views on his
Endless reasons affected his decisions and thought process, from meeting Mike Chambers and hearing his tragedy, hanging out with Cathy and forming a bond with her, and choosing to ignore getting revenge when beat up by the Shepards. But the sole reason why he was able to make this transition was that small bit of judgement near the opening of the book, and how these certain events helped him make the realizations and understandings necessary to doing
