change

This is quite a serious and dangerous situation that shouldn't have been taken lightly but the fact that Sally's Nan automatically hoses down the children is quite humorous and causes the children less worry. ".Nan would line us all up and squirt us down with water." The reader is surprised by Nan's reaction but they are also able to smile at how naive Nan is to think that simply hosing down the animals and children would save them from being burnt.
             The use of humour in the story gives a different entry point into the theme of changing self. All of the other entry points are serious and emotional so this technique stands out in the novel. Humour provides a simple link to changing self that everyone can relate to in a sense. It shows that in order to change the person you are, you need love to encourage the change. Without love there would be no humour and laughter in Sally's family and Sally wouldn't be able to change in the ways that she did.
             The idea that love is needed in order to change is also represented in both Captain Sarah's Odyssey and Chain of Hearts.
             In Chain of Hearts the main character Sophie changes who she is drastically after a car accident where she killed her boyfriend Mihn. Sophie became withdrawn from her family and stayed in her bedroom where she constantly ate, causing herself to become overweight. The reason for this initial change was the accident, which left Sophie mentally scared. It was only when she was sent to her aunt's place that she began the slow and painful recovery to a person that was bubbly and happy with whom she was. The only reason this final change occurred was because her family and new friends showed her love and support as well as understanding and encouragement. This novel once again developed my ideas on changing self as it showed that tragic events can change a person and that love and support can help in the healing and eventual change back to the person they were.
