Based on the novel Step by Wicked step authored by Anne fine, the character that i feel has changed due to certain events that have taken place in the character's life and that character is Colin. Colin loved his stepfather deeply and he cherished his love very much that when he had to move out with his mother, he started to change.
First and foremost, Colin changed into a very unhappy and lonely boy because he had to join a new school when his mother moved out of their home with him. He had to go through unpleasant experiences because it is very hard for him to make new friends. the children in that school had friends of their own. Thus, he got ignored by his schoolmates. Besides that, his mother had no time to listen to his problems because she's busy with her new job at the canteen and with her household chores. This causes him to miss his stepfather terribly.
Secondly, Colin becomes a dreamy boy which causes him to have less focus in class and he did badly in school. the main reason for this was simply because he missed his stepfather very much. Every night, he would take the tobacco tin out of the toe of his boot and put it under his pillow and pretend like his stepfather was there to listen to his problems. He would then hum their favourite song and stay awake for hours talking to his dad.
Thirdly, Colin becomes resourceful. Even though it has been 5 years, 8 months & 7 days since he was separated from his dad but Colin secretly writes his stepfather's name his old address on the forms at school. Furthermore, he tries to save money to search for his dad when he is older.
In conclusion, Colin couldn't adapt well to the changes in his life. He became a sad, sensitve and moody person. This caused him to make a bold decision to search for his stepfather. His love andlonging for his dad motivated him to become optimistic in his search for his dad.
