Character Connections between books

This year, I have read many books that are inter-related. They are either similar because they have the same genre, the same story line, or have the same character roles. I thought the characters in the books Crank by Ellen Hopkins and the book Things Change by Patrick Jones have similar character roles. In Crank, the main character was Kristina. Kristina eventually changes into this new person named Bree. She used to me a perfect girl who got the perfect grades, and who made her parents proud. But, when she got involved in the "crank" and a new group of people, her life changed and she could not control it. In Things Change, it talks about this girl named Johanna and how her life changes when she meets Paul. Before she met him, she got straight As, she respected her parents, and had a close relationship with her friend. But when got in a relationship with Paul, her main focus was to make him happy. And if she didn't she would get in trouble by him. In both books, people and certain things are what impacts the main character's life to change. People are the ones that influence Johanna and Kristina to act differently, which is outside there comfort zone. The main theme in both books is "change" and how character transform and develop from entirely different. In the beginning, they are innocent and towards the end, they are evil and dishonest. Also, both novels helps people to deal and understand life. They are fictionalized books. The main connection is that the outside world is a big target that can change one's mind.
