Reading this chapter about transformation really gets to me at this point in my life, where I see myself going through a transformation in my own life. The 8 Levels of transformation make a lot of sense and also its kind of nice to see myself and where I am at at those levels. In the level scheme, I see myself, the highest, a level 2. I do relate to some of the examples given in the different levels, but truthfully, I know where I stand. These different charts allow for characters to grow though out a story and to achieve different levels of growth. Like in the book, if there is no transformation, story can become stagnant, boring and just forgettable. When the character goes through some life changing situation and grows to become a better person, it allows the reader to relate and create an emotion connection to this character and his struggle. We see ourself and we relate our own hardships with the character's. This is how the three stories that re listed stay in our mind. We see the fox, william and the students transform and it helps us remember the stories as well as relate to them.
