Legend part 2

Ok, so far we know that June is changing , by betraying the Patriots. But what we now know is that Day has also followed June's lead an betrayed the Patriots as well. Day changes throughout the book too with the help of June.
One way Day changed is when Tess refused to leave the Patriots with June and him. This changed him internally because it shows that he doesn't need to protect Tess anymore because she not the little girl he found in the slums. She grown a lot now and she doesn't see him as her brother anymore she sees him as more than friends.
Tess having a huge crush on him also changed him internally because it shows him that he has to follow his heart and choose who's right for him, Tess or June. He has to choose between the girl he has known for a long time and was a sister to him or the girl who worked for the Republic. 
Another thing that changed that is related to Tess' big Crush on Day, is if June is the right person for him or does she deserve better. From seeing all the videos of June and Aidan he is not sure if June has something with Aidan because he is the Elector and he is rich. After all he did say he lived her but she didn't say it back.

Prodigy by Marie Lu

After finishing the first book Legend by Marie Lu I decided to read the sequel to it. In the book Prodigy, Day and June have joined the Patriots to find Day's brother Eden. But to get the help of the Patriots the would have to complete a mission, to assassin the new Elector Primo, Aidan. June was sent to bring herself into the Republic and again the trust of the Elector. While June was in the inside she changed a lot in what she believed in.
Before June was sent in the inside she was in love with Day. She only joined the Patriots because she wanted to help him find his brother and she didn't want to leave him behind. But when she was sent  in the inside she soon fell for Aidan the new Elector Primo. They had a lot in common, they both went to Drake University, both came from rich families, and they both think alike. 
She also wasn't sure if killing Aidan was right. Before when she wasn't sent into the Republic to gain trust of Aidan she didn't want anything to do with him and she didn't care if he died because she has grown to hate the Republic for what they have done to her family. But when she was sent into the inside she missed the life of being rich and eating fancy foods and wearing fancy clothing.
June changed over time because she didn't know what to do, save Aidan or trust the Patriots.

Hurricane Song

 In the book Hurricane Song by Paul Volpone, a teenage boy named Miles and his father are stuck in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina. While they were stuck in the Superdome they went through a series of hardships. The affect of these hardships helped changed the feeling and personalities of the characters in the book.
     Before Hurricane Katrina hit Pops, Miles' father and Miles relationship wasn't so great. Miles didn't have anything anything common with Pops at first and Pops wasn't ever home. He was always downstairs of their apartment, at a club called Pharaohs, playing his Jazz on his trumpet. He was always at Pharaohs that Miles thought that Pops loved his music more than him but after the hurricane their relationship changed.
    During the hurricane Pops told Miles not to interfere in any drama and to mind his own business, but in the end they did interfere in a lot of Drama. This was one of the hardships that helped them change. If Pops didn't interfere in the drama like identifying the dead body of Cyrus, a mentally unstable person who used to wash dishes at Pharaohs who jumped off the Superdome because he thought it was a slave ship. This softened a spot in Pops' heart because when they finally identified Cyrus he and Miles have Cyrus a proper funeral by playing their music. This also changed Miles  feeling about music. At first he hated music because he thought his father loved music more than him but later on he found that his father didn't actually love music  more than him and he grew to enjoy music like his father. 
     I think the book Hurricane Song his a great way to show that it is never to late to change. Everyone could change if they wanted to. Pops and Miles relationship changed when he told Miles he loved him more than music. Pops wanted their relationship to change and that why their relationship got better.
