My view on change relates to Richard’s in “The Prince of Los Cocuyus” because we both faced being misunderstood, new beginnings, changes in surroundings, trying to fit in and pursuing dreams. Transitioning from high school to college can cause many misunderstandings between teachers and students. One instance in the book that I found was an amazing comparison to being misunderstood was when Abuela took Richard to Winn Dixie because the chicken was on sale. As they were about to pay, the sales lady explained to them that there was a limit of two chickens per customer. Abuela completely flipped out and could not comprehend this fact (13,14).
Everyone that came and went from the adoption centre always called him fatty, porky and other names that made him hurt inside.

Now after talking to a neighbor woman, Pelayo and Elisenda thought the old man must be an angel who had tried to come and take their sick child to heaven, but really it was trying to heal the little girl. They found out his powers and Pelayo and Elisenda wanted to keep the old man in their chicken coop, and he soon begins to attract crowds of curious visitors. The crowd eventually grows so large and disorderly with the sick and curious that Elisenda begins to charge admission. For the most part, the old man ignores the people, even when they pluck his feathers and throw stones at him

The Hatcher of the Fugly If you’re really interested in my story, you need to first know where it all started. I remember the day I hatched from my egg; I guess I was pretty darn late. When I came out I saw all those phony ducklings staring at me as if I’m a goddam clown, I even heard old ma’ call me an ugly duckling. I really wasn’t sure if she was mine, she really didn’t look like it. Well anyway, I walked away from all those yellow pieces of crap, I was beginning to feel like a loner.

She was furious…’There’s some folks who don’t eat like us,’ she said, ‘but you ain’t called on to contradict ‘em at the table when they don’t. That boy’s you comp’ny and if he wants to eat the table cloth you let him, you hear?’” (32).
When Gregor woke up that morning from a bad dream, he saw that he changed into a hideous insect. Gregor's father persona consists of all the three traits from Freuds personality theory when comparing him to the rest of the characters, which he demonstrates in many scenario.
