In both Witness and Mosquito Coast there are key transformation points for Samuel and Charlie, in which they show their new found knowledge and responsibilities. In Witness there is one scene that stuck out to me. The scene between Samuel and his grandfather. They are sitting together and discussing what makes a man good or bad. Samuel has begun to understand just what a life is worth and that is made clear by Samuel's response to his grandfather when he says I know what bad men do. Eli is less than thrilled with his grandsons new found knowledge.
Wishing only to protect him.
message is essentially the same, a loss of innocence and metamorphosis as a result. Charlie loves and admires his father who to him is a genius and an incredible man. He has taken over the village trying to bring technology and a better life to the people who liveon the land he has purchased. When Allie's entire village is burned in front of his eyes, he not only loses his home but the remainder of his sanity. This is Charlies transformation point it is in this moment as his watches his fathers mental break that he realizes what he has to do. He is to take charge and lead his family and he does just that.
Don't forget apostrophes on possessive nouns. You might have done better to use pictures that actually show the scenes you are talking about. YOu do a decent general summary, but showing the scenes and doing some m e s analysis would help.
