The prompt I have chosen this week is: “How characters react to changes that are happening.” The characters react to changes that are happening by acting in panic, thinking carefully, and making fatal decisions. A reason how the characters react to the changes that are happening is how the characters act in panic. Near the end of the book, a man is discovered in a vault of money at the end of the True…
