Character change: the different actions and thoughts of a character as the story progresses

Throughout stories, characters change. Its our job to figure out what makes them change. Lets take a look at Shiloh. We ask ourselves these questions:

Lets look at Marty in Chapter 7.

What does the character want? How did Marty act around his family in the beginning of the book? Since meeting Shiloh, how has Marty been acting around his family? What is the action that Marty keeps doing, even though inside of his head he knows its wrong?

Please return to your seats and quietly finish reading chapter 7 When you are done reading chapter 7, take out your independent reading book and read it until every one has finished reading chapter 7

Remember these questions:

What does the character want? How did Marty act around his family in the beginning of the book? Since meeting Shiloh, how has Marty been acting around his family? What is the action that Marty keeps doing, even though inside of his head he knows its wrong?
