Change

Change is what people accomplish to better themselves. In the book called “Coffee Will Make You Black” by April Sinclair, the character Stevie has made a dynamic change. At the beginning of the story Stevie starts off by having less confidence in herself. She tends to listen and be around people who are a bad influence like Carla for example. Throughout the story Stevie starts to realize that she is changing when she starts high school. She starts to appreciate her race more when she joins the Afro- American Club. She also engages an interest for Nurse Horn who is white. Towards the end of the story Carla does not want to be her friend anymore because she has an interest for Nurse Horn. Stevie realizes that if people can’t accept the fact that she is changing then she does not need to be around them. In conclusion, I learned that it is okay to change and change is what makes you better as a person.
