Burned four -Barbara arn

I found Pattyn changed the most throughout the book. At the beginning she was a bit of a loner. She felt uncomfortable with who she was and what she believed but she made herself believe it anyway. She was very uptight. Towards the middle she starts being a bit rebellious. She disobeys her parents and lies to them. She gets a boy friend and starts going to parties and drink. After her and her boyfriend break up she begins getting angry. She breaks a window and a girls nose. She makes disturbances at her church and fights with her parents about what they believe and about what is wrong with them. When she is sent to live with her aunt in Caliente she begins to change her ways again.
Also Pattyns father changes a bit in the book. At the beginning he is very angry about one of his sons dieing and another being gay. He is closed of and abusive. He is also an alcoholic, his favourite drink being Johnie W.B whiskey. When he has to take Pattyn to Caliente he begins to open up and talk about his past and he is sober for the ride. It is a minor change but it is him at his best.
