Hold Still

Hold Still is a book about a girl whose best friend committed suicide. This book is all about her dealing with living without her and the different people acting the different ways towards her than they did before her friend died. She learns to make new decisions about life and friends. She thought she couldn't live without Ingrid, her best friend, but learned that there were other things in life than INgrid and she could make her life better if she tried.

The people in the story that used to treat her awfully. Treat her differently. They treat her like she is a different person without her best friend by her side. Even her favorite teacher her photo teacher who she used to be so close to treats her like she doesn't exist. She figures out pretty quickly that people don't want to be her friend they feel bad for her. She changes as a person because she isn't depending on somebody else. She was leading her own life making her own decisions with her own life. She makes different friendships and starts leading a completely different life. She became a different person she was a different character at the beginning than she was at the end because she saw life from a different perspective. She made relationships because she had different kinds of support. I think this character changed a lot because of the support and the person she no longer had. People can change for all sorts of reasons. Two reasons is somebody or something thats important to you isn't there for you isn't there anymore or somebody or something new comes into your life. I think she changed for both of those reasons. She used to live in Ingrids shadow but now without her there she thought she wouldn't be the same because she wasn't going to have her best friend. I think she was different because she was not living as somebody trying to be like her best friend somebody trying to act like her best friend because she didn't have anybody else to be friends with. When she got new friends she became her own person and changed more than she ever would've with Ingrid still there.
