Character Theory:
All main characters change due to the conflict, OR another character, teaching them a lesson.
Here are some of our best pieces of evidence:
- I think Dennis changed from being the class clown type to the person on the other end. He knew that Ariel liked the intelligent kind so,"That was probably why [his] great sense of humor and [his] legendary reputation for practical jokes had never attracted her"(12). Throughout Ariel's joke of telling him a fake story to write for his book report, he realized it wasn't so fun to be the one that got tricked. When Ariel told him it was a joke, Dennis got angry and said,"'It's not funny!'" and then she said,"'What's happened to your sense of humor?'"(21). This shows that Dennis has learned that messing with people isn't funny and I think he might change and become more sensitive of peoples feelings, proving that all main characters change.
-I think Dennis changed because at first he liked Ariel then at the end he was really upset and angry at her. Dennis trusted her and she lied to him but she only did it because Dennis has a good sense of humor. Bottom line is Dennis was furious at Ariel and Dennis changed because at the end of the story because Dennis was mad at Ariel.
-In the story, Squid Girl, the main character, Sierra, changed due to the plot. She was trying to get Bob (travis) to like her back, and he started to appreciate that she was really smart, and this made her appreciate her parents, and the knowledge that they give her.
-Ashley changed when she figured out her mom had replaced "Sweet Pea" multiple times. Now she thinks of her mother differently.
-Ashley’s friendship with the narrator changed as well, because the narrator prays for "sweet pea".
