Based on the novel, Step by Wicked Step, by Anne Fine, the character that I feel has changed due to certain occurrences that have taken place in his life is Colin. Colin used to enjoy his life with his stepfather. He cherished and remembers every little detail about his stepfather. After Colin's mother brought Colin to move with her, Colin's character changed gradually.
Firstly, Colin changed into a very upset and lonely boy. He enrolled in a new school where everyone had their preexisting friends already. He had to go through a horrible experience in his new school, he got ignored by the students. Nobody bothered with me. His mother, however, found a new job and was constantly busy that she forgotten to care about Colin. This made Colin miss his stepfather terribly, because he used to look for Jack about his troubles. It wasn't how it used to be with Dad. It is apparent that Colin had transformed from a loving boy to a very lonely boy after the move.
Secondly, Colin became a dreamy boy, which caused him to easily drift off in school which resulted his results to dropped drastically. The prime reason for this was simply because he misses his stepfather dearly. Every night, he would take the tobacco tin out of the toe of his boot and put it under his pillow. Colin would then pretend that Jack was still by his side, ready to listen to his rant of the day. He would hum his and Jack's favourite song and stay awake for hours talking to his dad,whom he pretended was there.
In a nutshell, Colin couldn't adapt well to the changes in his life. He became a sad, sensitve and moody person. This caused him to make a bold decision to search for his stepfather. His love andlonging for his dad motivated him to become optimistic in his search for his dad.
