I think Doug has changed in the novel because he has became his own person. In the text it says, " I was beginning to act like Lucas. I decided not to act like Lucas" this shows that instead of following his brother's steps Doug decides to become his own person.

Doug has changed in the novel so far because he is like becoming more confident in himself. When he moved Mr. Spicer and Lil have contributed to Doug's changes. He still has the same feelings for his brother and dad. In the novel so far, Mr. Spicer gave him a job. But, when Lil first saw Doug she thought he was a skinny thug. Now we know that he is more confident in himself. This proves how Doug has changed so far in the novel

I think has become somewhat of a jerk. After encountering Lily he was very rude and seemed to act like his brother Lucas. In the book it even says " I was acting like Lucas," this proves that he has become a little bit of a jerk. However we can see that he is changing again because he actually took a job at Spicer's Deli which is owned by Lily's dad, so he may begin to change once again.

I think that Dough has changed by  becoming nicer. He used to hate lil Spicer, and acted like his brother Lucas around her. But in chapter 2, page 60, he acts like a NICE person around her.

Doug has changed so far in the sense that Doug has became much more optimistic about the town and people around for example in chapter two where Lily asked if Doug needs help cleaning the bird poop off of him sarcastically. In the past Doug would have said something very rude, abrupt, and sarcastic. However in this point in the book Dough says "No I said, I don't need any help" and later Lily makes a funny remark about cleaning himself with a sprinkler and Doug smiles back at Lily. Lily has definitely contributed to his changes because Lily is always assisting Doug with small things that have slowly changed him into some one much calmer and more mellow and optimistic person about everything. He still believes that he is a chump and he still is illiterate. He has changed because he has had lots of time with Lily and she has been a positive example on Dough so that is how he has changed because Lily has been there helping Doug through his time in New York.

Dough has shown change already, as his opinion of Marysville has changed, as he now doesn't seem to think Maysville is as bad anymore. I believe that this is partly due to his new friends. Dough still is illiterate.

Doug as changed throughout the novel in a sort of book kind of way. He was closed to his personal space but ever since he moved he has been more open. Meeting new people has opened himself up more. He met Mr.Powell and now he is teaching Doug how to draw, he has changed also because of the library. In chapter one he only got understood by his mom and his friends, but now in chapter two he has met new people to talk to. How he has stayed the same is simple, he is still a jerk but he is learning to control himself.He is also still scared of his brother.

I think he has become more responsible. He took a job as soon as he got into Marysville and was not a jerk to Lillie  he realizes he doesn't want to be like his brother Lucas so he somewhat cleans up his act.

I think Doug has already changed so far in this book, starting with what people think of him and his actions. For example, the first time he delivered, he didn't want to ask for directions because he'd feel like a "chump" or they'd think he was a "chump" and that seems to be one of his major fears because his dad always calls him a chump because of the smallest things. The second time he delivered, he had a different mindset. He was thinking to himself, I don't care if people think I'm a wimp/chump, I need to get the job done, if you know what I mean. He wanted to get the job done so he could deliver the ice cream and other goods without them melting.

I think that Doug has changed in the way that he was a little bit of a hoodlum, similar to his brother. But when he moved to a new town Lily Spicier almost turned him into a softy. Though, at the same time he is becoming more of his own person.

Doug has changed over the first 2 chapters because in the beginning, he only talked about himself. In chapter 1, we heard all of his thoughts, which were mainly about him. Now, he doesn't talk about himself that much. I think moving to Marysville changed him for the better. When he met Lily, the thoughts about himself pretty much disappeared. He has stayed the same because he still uses those rude comments. In chapter 1, he made rude remarks, and even in chapter 2, he still made rude comments. That is how Doug has changed, who has contributed to these changes, and how he stayed the same.

I believe Doug has  changed because he has became more of a person that he wants to be , instead of becoming like his brother Lucas or like the hoodlum that Lil first thought he was. In the book it states that Doug was mean to Lil at first but then after he got to know her a little  bit more , he decided he didnt want to be like Lucas he wanted to be him, so he was nice to Lil. This proves that at first he might have been a jerk but then he changed to be who he wanted to be.  He also changed because at first he did not want to draw and he always said he could not draw, but then he opens up to Mr.Powell and then he starts learning to draw. So this is how i know he changed for the better , himself.

I think Doug has changed in the novel by he has become more of a better person and has gotten to know some people so he has started communicating and liking the town a lot more. In the text it states that " Doug is communicating with LiL Spicer and Mr. Powell a lot more ." Also it states that " Doug got a job so he can start getting money and getting things of his own." Doug has stayed the same by he still doesn't like the town that much but he has started liking it a little more. In the text it states that " He doesn't like the town and some of the people are a jerk to him so he doesn't like it." That is why I belive that Doug has changed but stayed the same at the same time.

In the novel so far, I believe Doug has really changed in the short time he and his family have lived in Marysville.  He has changed by being more open and trying to be kinder. When Doug meets the new people in town his first impression to them is always rough and thug-like.   When he first meets Lil Doug narrates for us, "This is what I knew: I was sounding like Lucas when he was being the biggest jerk he could be, which was usually just before he beat me up. I was sounding like Lucas. " This text proves to us that Doug does indeed know that he is being rude. He then says, " I decided I wouldn't be Lucas." This second statement really reinforces the idea of change in him. It shows that he not only noticed his problem but he faced it and

      Alaina Thorne                              I think that Doug has changed in the novel by becoming more of his own individual. The  text states," I was acting like Lucas. You must be new from here? I decided not to be Lucas," this shows that he is accepting the mistakes that his family is known for doing and that he doesn't have to follow his older brothers paths of doing wrong. He is now under standing that he doesn't have to be like his other family members and that he can be his own person and not be judged by it.

I think Doug has changed through his friendliness ever since he went to marysville he has hated every one has done the slightest thing against him, for example in the book he said he didn't drawl and the old man said that he would leave it open in case he wanted to anyway then he got all upset and stomped outside and said he hated this town. He has stayed the same through his thought process by not talking out to his dad when he is having a bad day.

Doug has changed because he has become a kinder, softer person. He has become kinder when talking to Mr. Powell. At first he was rude and said that he doesn't draw. The text states on page 39, " I don't draw. Ever try? I don't draw." Doug also called him old and deaf.Now, he decides that he wants to try to draw. I think his talks with Mrs. Windermere, about the " Red- Throated Diver" , and talking to other people have helped. He stayed the same because he still has some attitude
