In this blog post, please write a well structured post about how the main character(s) has changed and provide evidence from the novel to support your ideas!


-First of all, Charlotte has changed dramatically since the start of the book. At the start of the book, Charlotte was a proper young lady with good manners, and in my opinion a bit spoiled. When she first boarded the ship she did not approve the ship and the crew at all, which made it easier for the captain to capture and fool her. At first she was too soft hearted.
But as time passed and she got used to the crew, she did become a bit more accustomed to the crew's behaviors, but still she thought it as low and still approved the gentleman like behavior from the captain a lot more. It's pretty much shown on page 84 that she was still more on her ladylike side.
As the mutiny failed and Charlotte became part of the crew, she had totally changed from the girl she was when she first stood in front of the ship. She now was nowhere near the ladylike manner she used to have. She was totally part of the crew, and she had become slightly more rude (but not in a bad way). She could also do the harsh work along with the crew, something she could never do before, and she became more bolder, learning up how to stand up to the captain.
But Charlotte Doyle wasn't the only main character that changed a lot. Captain Jaggery changed a great deal too (or at least against Charlotte, he had been the same to the crew all along). In the start of the book, Captain Jaggery acted all fancy-like and nice to Charlotte since he needed her on his side. But as Charlotte began to slide to the crew's side, he started being not at all nice to Charlotte, and he became more and more ruder, and finally he treated her harder than he treated the crew. Captain Jaggery did not like Charlotte at all- he called her bad names and he hated her for embarrassing him before the crew.
This is my opinion on how the main characters changed while the story went on. Of course there are other characters who changed as well and there's also a bit more to it in the change of Charlotte and Captain Jaggery. But this is what I think and I think it covers up pretty much the basics and the important parts.
