Embracing change from "summary" of Hard Times by Charles Dickens
Change is inevitable, like the turning of the seasons or the ticking of a clock. It is not a matter of if change will come, but when and how. In the town of Coketown, change is a constant presence, as the Industrial Revolution sweeps through, transforming the landscape and the lives of its inhabitants. Some, like Mr. Gradgrind, resist change, clinging to their outdated beliefs and traditions with a stubbornness that borders on folly. They see change as a threat, something to be feared and avoided at all costs. But change cannot be outrun or ignored, no matter how hard one tries. Others, like Sissy Jupe, embrace change with open arms, seeing it as an opportunity for growth and renewal. They understand that change is not always easy or comfortable, but it is necessary for progress and evolution. Sissy is willing to adapt to the changing world around her, learning from her experiences and using them to become a better, stronger person. In the end, those who embrace change are the ones who thrive in Coketown, while those who resist it are left behind, stuck in the past and unable to move forward. Change may be daunting, but it is also a chance for transformation and enlightenment. It is up to each individual to decide whether they will fight against change or welcome it with open arms.
