Change

Narration
     The day after I failed my first Biology test, I promised myself that I would change. Change my study habits, change my grades, and change myself. Little did I know, it would be a lot harder than I thought. After a few days of changing my study habits I realized that this wasn't going to work. I was bending over back and staying up late for things that didn't even make a great impact on my grade. I knew that what I was doing was right, but I just couldn't keep it up.  "From now on," I told myself, "I am going to take it in moderation". I decided that changing that soon was not the best thing for me to do at the time. I feel that over the years, I have changed the way I study but still not to the point that I want.

Description
     The scrunchy, slimy green cattepillar scooted along the stick inch by inch wondering when he was going to be ready for mother nature to take his body and transform it into a magnificent winged creature. When the creature became full grown he cozied himself upside down on a branch and waited for the chrysalis to encase his body fully. About ten days did it take for the caterpillar to awake from his slumber. Breaking apart from the chrysalis emerged a magnificent creature, wings spread apart, long legs stretched out. Now its time to take flight.

Comparison/Contrast/Argumentative
    The difference between staying the same and changing is that when you change is simply that your different. The answer is in the question. Nancy Mairs once thought her life was over after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerocis, but one day she realized that if she didnt change she was going to live the rest of her shortened life very terribly.  Once she realized that she was going to die sooner than she thought, she decided to spice up her life and come into terms that she was going to die. She ended up being okay with the way she was and she now is living life to the fullest.
     
Process Analysis
     Asking someone to change is like asking someone to finish a 10 page paper in one night. Its nearly impossible. The process takes some time. First you have to make the person aware of the problem that has come up. Without them knowing the problem, there is no way that they can fix it. Often times venting to someone about your problems and issues helps a great deal. That way you can get advice as to what you need to do to fix it. This tends to come in handy with anyone. It is scientifically proven that the mind and body feels better after talking to someone when you are feeling down. It helps release stress. Next you need to do some self evaluation. This way you can contemplate what changing can do to make you feel better. Check to see what other goals you can achieve in life by changing. The last step in changing is making sure that you can make that change. It is necessary for you to believe in yourself in order to make the change needed. Once you have this process down, you will be one step closer to making your change.

Division of Analysis
     In order to change, one has to know the three different types of change. The three most known types of change are developmental, transitional, and transformational. In order to change, one has to know the different types of change. Developmental is when you recognize the need for change. Instead of starting from scratch, you are just refining yourself you make it better. Transitional is when you realize you need to take on a completely new course of action. Transformational change is something you cant control as much as the others. A new process creates itself as a result of the failure of another. It is usually not planned. 

Cause and Effect
       Many things, good or bad, can happen after you change. If you were once the nicest person in the school and something inside you snaps, this could be very bad. You then find yourself alone in the world wondering why you changed. If you were once the bitch of the class, then come back the next year as the sweetheart, you are going to end up making a lot of new friends and everyone is going to want to be with you. Depending on what you are changing from, you never know what the consequences are going to be. Good and bad things will always come from change. It also depends on the person whom you are talking to.

Definition
    Instead of having many different meanings like any other normal word, change is the exception with really only one meaning. Change simply is to become different. You could be giving a completely different form or appearance to something or you could be changing on the inside instead of out.
