Through different developments, people experience multiple emotions and thoughts. Many people often do not find themselves fully going through change. As change occurs in the development of characteristics, it helps explain the full potential of what can or may be happening in a situation. The potential that may be expressed in the characteristics, can explain the development of how a person will impact with what may happen next. Even though change is not chosen, it demonstrates how someone or something can take action in what they are doing or plan to do. Character development can be shown through hormonal changes, how a character goes from being self-centered to taking a stand for their own opinion, and the transition to the realization of position just as Sammy, the main character, experienced in the story “A&P” by John Updike.

Segregation had had many effects on the black nation, to the point that it started building up ones character, “See the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky and see her begin to distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness towards white people”, King shows readers that segregation is even affecting little children, that it is starting to build up a young girls character and is contributing to the child developing hatred “bitterness” towards the white Americans.

In many parts of the world, many people suffer from discrimination and hatred of many forms of discrimination just because of their color, race, ethnicity, religion and nationality. In O’Connor’s writing, she mentioned Julian's mother and the large black women were wearing the same hideous green hat. It means the two women are on equal social position although Julian’s mother considers herself superior to black people. Because of the hat, Julian hopes his mom will learn a lesson that she and everybody; especially, the black woman are more alike than different like she thought “if the woman were a monkey that had stolen her hat” (p286).

Change is to become different, and every day, something changes, whether it is the weather, the age of something or someone, or even the government. One must learn that change occurs in everybody's life and in order to grow one must accept change. J.D. Salinger's book named The Catcher in the Rye provides an excellent example of change. The Catcher in the Rye's main character, Holden Caulfield has a difficult time in accepting that life is all about change and discovery.
