It was hard making my essay because it was difficult  to learn how to write different types of claims and choosing what essay to post. First we read a lot of stories then we used the stories to write essays. In the process we learned different types of claims such as, character change, lesson learned and character traits.I decided I wanted to write a character change essay. Then I looked at all of my character change essays.In the end, I chose to publish my Ruby the Copycat essay. In this book you will see how the character Ruby changes throughout the story. I hope you enjoy my essay!

“Ruby the Copycat Character Change”

In the book Ruby the Copycat the character Ruby changes from being a copycat to being her own person.

In the beginning of the story Ruby copied Angela when Angala said she went to her sister’s wedding and she was the flower girl. She also copied Angela by wearing the same sweater with daisies on it as her. This shows that Ruby is jealous of Angela and wants to be like her.

Later in the story Ruby copies Mrs.Hart by wearing the same plastic fingernails as her teacher. She also copies Angela by reciting basically the exact same poem as Angela.The next morning Ruby copies Angela by saying she went to the opera. This all shows that Ruby wants to copy other people to make herself look good.

In the end instead of copying Angela Ruby said she hopped.In an instant everyone started laughing at her but Ruby wouldn’t back down instead she proved it by hopping around the table 10 times. When her classmates saw they all started hopping around the room. This shows Ruby finally figured out that trying to be someone else won’t give you any credit.

The character Ruby learns that copying won’t give you credit for anything. All this proves Rubies character change in the story.
