Change


I have been reading The Secret Life of Bees.  In the book a young girl named Lily ran away from her cruel dad in order to find out about her dead mom.  She and her house keeper moved in with 3 bee ladies.  They farmed bees and produced honey.  In the book her life changed drastically.  Instead of living with her abusing, narrow minded, prejudice dad in a very white community, she moved in with many black women who were very kind and smart.  Even though the change was huge, Lily handled it well and it improved her life.
I think change is fun.  Most of the times it is unavoidable and hard to adjust to.  Some change is hard.  During Hurricane Katrina many people's lives changed drastically.  That was hard change.  But some change is for the better.  When i moved to MN from CA i was sad.  It took a year to adjust to but in the end i was happy i moved.  I have better friends here and i enjoy the snow.  Change can go either way, it can be devastating and it can also be for the best.  In lesser situations i think it depends on the person.  Change depends on if the person likes it or hates it.  For example moving to a new house or ordering a different meal at dinner.  I personally like change but i also know many people who dislike it.
