Last White Mountains

4. Finally, chose one of the 3 main characters and write how this character has changed during the course of the novel.

I am going to talk about the changes in Henry through out the book. At first Henry always used to fight with Will and would love to Will in to trouble. Some evidence is- ( This is from Will's point of view) "We swayed and struggled, and then crashed together and rolled down into the ditch by the side of the road. There was some water in it, but we went on fighting, even after a voice challenged us from above." Later on Henry had to collaborate a little more with Will because they started the journey to the White Mountains. Otherwise they would have crumbled and gotten nowhere. After they are captured Henry changes.

When they were captured Henry and Will meet Beanpole. Beanpole helped them get out of the prison and did lots more. After this point the way Henry changed was he became closer to Beanpole than to Will. This is an example of my statement- (Will's point of view)
"I had become aware of a change. It was nothing clearcut; just that Henry talked more to Beanpole, that Beanpole directed more of his remarks to Henry- that there had been a shift, in fact from it being a matter of Beanpole and myself, with Henry a little bit out of things, to a situation in which I was, to some extent, the excluded one." So at this time Henry spent more time with Beanpole than Henry. Later on he changed even more.

Now Will, Beanpole and Henry have reached the castle of the Red Tower. Will had an extremely comfortable room and Beanpole and Henry had to sleep in the servant rooms and serve as servants. It was clear in the book that Henry was jealous of Will because of the way he acted around Will. So Henry turned very sour towards Will and got even closer to Beanpole. At the end things got all right- I am talking about when they start of the journey to the White Mountains again Henry becomes nice to Will. This is a piece of evidence supporting my statement- ( In Will's point of view) "Afterward Beanpole put some of the healing herbs, which he had found, on the wound, binding them in place with a bandage made from the tail of my shirt, and Henry said he knew it must have been pretty agonizing: he would have shrieked a lot more. I was more glad of his kindness than I would have expected." These are the changes I have noticed in Henry through out White Mountains.
