The Metamorphosis

In the beginning of Conjure Woman and Other Tales by Charles W. Chesnutt, I hated the way Julius acted and I thought this was going to be a book were John is going to be tricked by Julius, Annie would die, and no one would be happy. But as I kept reading my perspective started to change. For the first few stories Julius, I believed, was out to just get what he wanted. He benefited from a lot of thing on the vineyard and even benefited from John buying a donkey. Ironically after he told him not to because he didn't know where it could of come from. But when you get to the end of the Sis' Becky's Pickaninny you see a side of Julius not yet seen. He gave Annie he precocious rabbits foot. He and Annie, from that point, had a certain unspoken bond. Even if at first i thought the rabbit foot meant he was messing with her at first. The friendship grew and John could even see it. He didn't care though that Julius's stories were probably fake, his stories seemed to depress and bore Annie. But when Annie listened to Julius' stories however it made her happy and healthy. Julius gave her an escape from her everyday life.That escape gave Annie the chance to regain some mystery in the world after probably being bombarded with science and facts while being sick.  Julius has changed from a man that looked out for just himself, to a man that cares for others and tries to help them even if it means missing a big opportunity. Julius has made a friends with John and Annie. The friends that can change a man that only looked out for himself, to a man who would gladly do things for others even if it meant a lose for him.
