Have you or someone around you experienced a change that affected you them and others around you? After experiencing a life changing event one might change due to said event. In the stories “A Christmas Carol”, “At the Crossroads”, and ” Profile: Malala Yousafzai” Malala, Nick, and Scrooge undergo a major change as the result of sudden events in their lives.
In the play “A Christmas Carol”, the character of scrooge undergoes a change from a cruel old miser to a joyful generous individual as a result of 3 spirits. The ghosts of Christmas past present and future show scrooge that kindness will positively affect himself and everyone around him. “Spirit! hear me! I am not the man I once was. I will not be the man I would have been if not for this intercourse. Why show me this if I am past all hope?” As a result, scrooge realizes that being a kind, generous person Is the key to a more meaningful life.
In “At a crossroads” Nick Kleckner undergoes a change to a grateful person due to a 2500-mile walk. Nick Kleckner didn’t find any more meaning in life, he felt life was repetitive and boring, so he left and went on a journey across the country. “Nick was in a rut. His life felt repetitive and boring. It lacked a higher purpose. He felt wasn’t growing as a person.” As a result, Nick found meaning in his life, and he began to appreciate the things he has and finds that life is good he just has to see it.
In “Profile: Malala Yousazfai” Malala changes due to being shot in the head and surviving. A young girl named Malala posted a blog about life in Pakistan under an anonymous username, but after being found out by the Taliban they shot her in the head.”…she was shot in the head…by a Taliban gunman.” After using her voice to bring fame to herself Malala set an example about speaking out and she changed to a confident person.
In conclusion, people such as Scrooge, Nick and Malala have all experienced changes that affected them and others around them. They each made a choice that triggered a chain reaction to cause them to change into better versions of themselves.

Hi! The name’s meatball man, and today I will show you how to make a proper comment. #1: compliment the writer, compliment what you like about their post/comment. Say something like: you have amazing wording or that’s a good idea you should elaborate on that. But don’t say I like this or other unhelpful things, always provide new ideas. #2: Add new factual content, say someone is talking about how platypi only live in Australia, you could say “did you know platypi  can only live in Tasmania or they will die”  Its relevant and interesting. #3: make a connection. if you can relate to someone’s post say so, if I were to talk about gaming and you also play video games tell me and start a conversation. #4: Ask a question. If you are confused about a statement, a topic, or a source. Just ask. #5: proofread your post. though this is usually easy because of auto correct its best to proofread your post for grammar spelling and so on. That’s my post, goodbye!

Look its me! kind of. This is my avatar I made him to represent me in as many ways as possible and this is how: first, the Australian flag is because Australia and Europe are my favorite continents, the green eyes are purely because I love green eyes, I love technology so I put the robot, I’m also always trying to smile, and I think red and black look awesome together. and that’s my avatar goodbye!
