There are factors throughout the book and the mission that change her whole way of thinking. I believe that she changes not because she want to but to survive and not lose her mind.

Gemma has tried everything she possibly could to get away from Ty such as trying to fight him and trying to run away. Once Gemma tells herself that there is not one possible way out that is when she accepts she is going to be there forever. That's when we see her change her attitude about Ty and she starts to accept her mission. Another reason I believe she accepts her new life and mission is because they are alone. They are living in the middle of the desert alone and I believe that is getting into Gemma's mind. It is like she is forced to talk to him or talk to no one for the rest of her life. Since Ty is the only person Gemma sees every day I think that he starts to grow on her. So instead of not talking to anybody and going insane she starts talking to Ty. I believe that it's a bad thing because I feel …show more content…

In the late nineteenth century people obtained more freedom. The American rags to riches story struck a chord with many people and they tried to change their social class. For some, even with new opportunities in life, it would be hard for them to climb the class ladder. Many people live lives full of hardship and obstacles, such as Maggie Johnson from Stephen Crane's Maggie a Girl of the Streets, who grows up in the slums of New York City. Edna Pontellier from Kate Chopin's The Awakening lives a life of extravagance and wealth but still ends up dying a sad and lonely death because she makes poor decisions. Maggie also dies in a tragic death, but not because of bad choices, but because of the situation she finds herself in throughout her life. Maggie's situation turns her into a victim and facilitates her tragic death while Edna makes herself into a victim and causes her own death.
In Stolen, the author uses conflict to teach that only you can control and create your own future. For example, the author shows how Ty’s corrupt childhood has influenced his adulthood when she explains, “She and dad were never really together anyway. As soon as I was signed over to Dad, they all packed up overseas and tried to forget about me.” This shows how Ty’s feeling of abandonment at such a young age, has impacted his behavior and attitude towards others. Due to his lack of compassion and love, he doesn’t know how to express his feelings for someone in a reasonable manor. Additionally, being shunned from proper social skills has affected Ty’s state of mind, causing him to feel as if stealing Gemma was infallibly okay on his part. The
In the novel, Montag asks if she remembered where and when they met. Mildred replies with, “ I don’t know, it’s been so long, it doesn’t matter.” She acts as if she doesn’t care and is lifeless at the thought that she can’t remember this. To act “robotic” is to be fake or emotionless. It’s almost as if everything that happened in the past just escaped memory and she doesn’t think or care or even love thoughts about Montag. Captain Beatty’s speech explains this with, “If you don’t want a man unhappy, don’t give him a question to worry him, give him none. Let him forget there is such thing as war, peace Montag.” This means every thought, every idea, is banished from the mind of society. If they are made to think, then they are unhappy. Mildred, along with society is robotic.
