John's death takes place just a couple of hours before her HSC exam which shows how damaging change and how it can shatter you into pieces when you are required to be full of strength and confidence. .
On the other hand, meeting her father, Michael Andretti, is an event that leads on to be a bery positive influence in her life. When she meets Michael for the first time we see how upset she becomes because she does not want anyone to ruin her and her mums, Christina Alibrandi, wonderful relationship. This is shown in the following quote - "You are a liar .You said you haven't a thing to say, but I reckon you've planned out everything you've said so far. You are full of bullshit clichés- But when Michael helps her out by coming to her school when she is in trouble, her perspective towards Michael changes and this paves the way for a developing father-daughter relationship which is basically for the good because the moral support of parents is really important through a stressful period like the HSC. So therefore, these two examples clearly show how change can be beneficial as well as damaging. .
In Sky High the composer Hannah Robert undergoes a change in her perspective towards life and the whole process of ageing. The whole story is a nostalgic experience. We share the composer's feelings of joy and excitement as she surveys the world around her as a child. To aid the responder's in noticing that she is writing as a child, her language structure changes and becomes very childish - "Three little boys live there; I have stood on the fence and talked to them, even been in their house once-. Abruptly, she then moves onto a different and an older image of life. This old age is presented when she presents the image of her hands being wrinkled etc. We also see that the washing line is still there but the only thing that has changed is, is her perspective. This shows how the story presents a passage through time for Hannah Roberts.
