In the book The Alchemist{secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel} My favorite character Josh had some dramatic changes in character traits. In the beginning of the book Josh was calm and reserved, later on he became confident, indepentent and strong willed. An example being is when Josh is given the task to drive the car with his sister Kate, and the alchemist Nich over the golden-gate bridge. This would be a problem, but considering Josh is only 15 and the golden gate bridge is under attack for "Morgan's children" or a flock of deadly crows. Not only was Josh brave enough to take on this role, he also did a stellar job. He even had to make a split second desision that would ultimaltley save him and his friends. This is why Josh is my favorite character. He proves through literature that people can make better personality changes
