The Truth about Forever Character Analysis

Author's Note: This piece is for my analysis essay. In this piece I tried a different technique for my transitions, I think it went well and was easier that what I used to do before I hope you like it please give some feedback!

 In the book “The Truth about Forever” by Sarah Dessen is a great example for a character that changes throughout the story. The main character is Macy, she is a shy and kept to herself person. Ever since her dad died she never really communicated with her mom only when it was necessary. She was always a hard worker and really school driven, the total opposite of her sister Caroline. When Macy was younger she used to run with her dad but when her dad died of a heart attack she stopped running. Macy changes drastically during this book.  

Macy changes a lot in the book because of many reasons. The main one is when she takes up a catering

Job. Her mom hires a catering company come to her house. People come to see what she can do to build the perfect house for interested family’s. During the night the catering company has some issues and Macy’s mom notices and wants Macy to go see what is going on. Then she spends the rest of the night helping the people of the business. The one person that really sticks out is Wes; he is a handsome boy that Macy seems interested in, although she is still in a relationship with Jason her boyfriend. Macy gets an offer to join the company. She finds out that the name of the company is Wish and she decides to take the job.

The catering company was one of the issues that changed Macy, but there was also breaking up with Jason. In the beginning of the summer Jason went to a Brain Camp and Macy would email him while he was gone. When she said I love you at the end of one of the emails, Jason kind of freaked and told Macy they should take a break until he gets back. Since she joined the catering business, she spent more time with Wes, and Kristy another person from the catering job. After one of the jobs all of them would go to a party hoping to find Macy the perfect boyfriend. Macy soon got more confident in herself, but her mom didn’t like her change. She wanted her to stay where she was and continue to be a perfect girl and focus on school.

Macy was starting to become a more friendly person and not want to work on school so much. In the end Macy ends up  outgoing person and nice person. She doesn’t get back with Jason, but starts a relationship with Wes. Her mom eventually understands and loosens her grip on Macy. Macy really changed from the beginning of the book to the end, and you could clearly see it.
