In Chapter 8, Charlotte tells us that her gloves have turned "the color of slate." While this change is only superficial, it suggests that Charlotte is beginning to change. Pretend you are Charlotte’s friend and, in a journal entry of about 150 words, explain to her why you think this change will be good for her. Use specific details from the text in your response.

Yesterday, Charlotte said her gloves have turned "the colour of slate." I think this is good for her. I remember before when she had a lot of things done for her (and to be honest, I don't think she knew how to do it herself, anyway. haha) and she didn't bother to try it out for once. Now that she is doing a lot more, she is learning, helping out, and trying to do things she usually wouldn't. I just think it's nice to see her progress as she slowly adapts to this new lifestyle. I think she could become a whole different person by the end of this! for example, she used to try to look as presentable as possible, which is why her gloves were the purest of white. Now that they are grey, I think it shows that she is changing. Yes, she still tries to look and act her best, but as time goes by, she won't be afraid to try new things and get a little dirt on herself while doing so.
