Theme of Change in The Crucible, Sky High, Titanic, and The Colour Purp
The global social systems throughout history and today are a invariant affect handst of change seen in emotional, mental and physical patterns. Changes alter perception and perception can manipulate things to change. The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Sky High by Hannah Roberts, Titanic directed by James Cameron and The Colour Purple by Alice Walker, convey the concept of change in an inevitable occurrence or self-imposed decisions throughout all aspects of life. Throughout the four texts, various techniques are used to portray these messages, for instance, anecdote, juxtaposition, music, and film techniques. Miller incorporates the character Reverend John Hale in The Crucible as representation of the whole changing t admit of Salem.

Walker emphasizes here that the ability to express ones thoughts and feelings is crucial to developing a intellect of self. Individuals and groups are influenced by change that is cataclysmic, whether it would be inevitable or voluntary. As discussed above, change can be seen as acceptance. Once one accepts this change it is choose but one must live to fulfill it.
