How did Nyle grow, develop, and mature throughout the novel?
I think that even from the beginning, Nyle was very mature for her age. She was friends with Muncie and didn't just judge her like everyone else did. But, I do think that at the beginning Nyle was afraid. She was afraid of losing another person that she loved and cared about. When Ezra arrived with his mother, she realized that she would like to be friends with Ezra but was afraid she might lose him the same way she lost her father, mother, and grandfather. Though, when she did realize that Ezra was getting better, she thought it would be ok to befriend him because there was a lower chance of getting hurt again. As their relationship grew, her fears shrunk. At the end when Ezra was getting ready to pass, I do think that Nyle was ready to accept it. Nyle was stronger once she let go, knowing that it would be ok and she could go on to love other people knowing that they cannot always be there.
