A sudden change can be caused by getting told about a death, crossing railroads, or having a new family member. Many people change for these reasons. Why don’t we look at some book examples and some life experiences.

When you are getting told about a death, it can change the way you talk to people. For example Scrooge, in the Christmas Carol, was mean, and always negative after Marley died because they were good work mates. They would work together and do a lot of things together.After Marley had died he was grumpy and didn’t celebrate Christmas like he use to in the past. He was grumpy for a really long time. Before Marley died he was merry, and deferential. But after he was bad-tempered, and discourteous. Then he changed back after the ghost of Christmas Future showed him what his Future would be. He also realized that Fezziwig had been toasting to him and has still honored what he does even though he isn’t nice.

He went through 5 pairs of shoes. Once he made it through to the other side he saw his family and felt relieved of all the stress. So before he was stressed, and had a lot of anxiety.
