Change/Transformation

Patria Changes in chapter 8, and it seems to be a very influential change for the book. she changes because she went from being a religious girl to being part of a revolution. Patria changed because of what happened at her church retreat, when the little boy was shot. Patria liked the boy a lot because he reminded her of her kid, and she called him son, "get down, son! get down..." (Alvarez 162). As the little boy died, Patria had an Epiphany and she knew what she was going to do. Patria was going to join the Revolution. As in Patrias words "im not going to sit down and watch babies die, Lord, even if that's what you in your wisdom decides." (Alvarez 162). Patria changing helps figure out the theme because people can change for little reason that are a big issue. This means that little things can change ones mind and make a big cause.
