Week 6-A change in Micah

When Micah was just twelve years old she went through a change, from human to a wolf. It was a very painful experience for her, not only in the flesh but in her mind also. She wasn’t sure what was happening to her, yet she did know by what the greats had explained to her. After she had turned into a werewolf and felt what it was like to truly be free, she loved it. She loved how it felt to be free, to be able to play, sleep, and eat whenever she felt like it. The best part about it was that she could run faster as a wolf than she could as a human. After the first time she turned, that was all she could think about. She had thought about being a wolf all the time, to stop taking her pill. But on the other hand she also thought about what it would mean for her life if she stopped taking her pill. She would have to live on the farm, she wouldn’t be able to finish her education in high school and/or college. She wouldn’t be able to be around the ones she loved. Putting all of that together she thought it was best to continue taking her pill so she could stay with her family. But, if she had ended up doing that she would be worry free, she wouldn’t have to lie anymore about anything. I guess you have to weigh the importance of everything and see what you really want out of life.

  1. I think this inner struggle within Micah really adds depth to her character. I thought the author's description of the "change" was powerful. Did you? Creepy and cool all at the same time.
