Question

I need help writing an introduction for a compare-and-contrast analysis of how Greg Ridley from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” changes from the beginning of the story to the end.

Answer 1

Greg Ridley from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" changes from the beginning of the story to the end of the story.

In the beginning of the story, Greg was avoidant because he decides not to go home. He was scared, in the beginning of the story when they meet, the author adds "Greg took a small step backward" because he was intimidated by Lemon Brown. Greg was skeptical at first, in the story Greg says “I’m not looking for your treasure,” Greg answered, smiling. “If you have one”.

Near the end of this story Greg becomes caring, Lemon Brown went down the stairs behind Greg. "When they reached the front door the old man looked out first, saw the street was clear and told Greg to scoot on home.

“You sure you’ll be O.K.?” Greg asked." this shows that Greg cares about Lemon. Greg becomes appreciative of everything he has, I know this because the author includes "Greg pushed the button over the bell marked Ridley, thought of the lecture he knew his father would give him, and smiled."

Greg developed in character from the beginning of the story to the end of the story, he started out avoidant, scared, and skeptical. Then ended up being caring and appreciative.

THIS IS WHAT I DID

Answer 2

I've never read this but i'd suggest if you haven't already comparing and contrasting what happened at the beginning and what happened throughout and the end. Make sure these are important details. You can include some that aren't important as well.
As for an introduction something simple like, "Many experience changes throughout their life this is about the changes throughout (insert main character's name)'s life".
