    John Wyndham has expressed this theme through the characters in this story. David is one of the major characters that have experienced change. He went from an innocent little boy to a young adult. In the beginning of the story, David had a chance to reflect on his childhood. It occurred when David met six-toed Sophie and realized people with deviations are not monsters. “I was a normal boy, growing up in a normal way, taking the ways of the world for granted”(Wyndham 6).
