In the novel ÃÂA Bridge to WisemanÃÂs CoveÃÂ by James Maloney, three characters change dramatically. Through the guidance and people around them they change. I disagree that Carl is the only character in the novel that changes because I notice many changing in both Skip and Maddie Duncan.
In the novel, Carl is shy and very self conscious. From a very young age, his life is full of sadness and conflict. His negative up bringing, had a major effect on him and seemed to cause most of his problems. He never knew what it was like to have a family that was always there, seeing as his father didnÃÂt stick around for long, ÃÂÃÂ gallop did what his name predicted. He took off when Carl was three years old.ÃÂ (Page 3) His mother would also leave him unexpectedly. Early in the story, his mother abandons the three children.

By the time HarleyÃÂs old enough to take care of himself IÃÂll be thirty!ÃÂ (Page 10) From when the boys arrive in Wattle Beach, they are verbally and physically abused by Beryl. There was really nothing either of them could say, because Beryl would kick them out with no where to go. When Harley is chained up by both Beryl and Bruce, a sudden change is seen in Carl. He stands up for himself and Harley, ÃÂÃÂ youÃÂre not putting him on that chain anymore. Do you hear me? No more. You wonÃÂt hit him, you wonÃÂt even...
