Thematic Connections - Responses to Change – Collection 3
Essential Questions: How do people respond to change? What are the varieties of ways that humans react and
respond to life’s circumstances that require them to change or not?
Connection: Transformation and our
response to it is both an internal and
external. Our responses are based
on both our internal (psychological)
changes and physical changes of
both ourselves and the physical
world around us.
Rivers and Tides
The changing of the
environment from beach to
woodlands of A.
Goldsworthy's sculpture
does not affect or change
the sculpture, but our
preceptions of it. Some
things do not change in and
of themselves. It is their
surroundings that change.
Connection: Moving from one setting to
another as in the case of the immigrant family
and the beach to the woodlands does not
necessary change the thing/person who is
moving, but merely the surroundings.
Magic Island
Some human responses to
experiences are univeral and
the same. In the "Magic
Island", the immigrant family
enjoys their family beach
day, playing, picnicking and
relaxing, despite the fact that
they do no know the
language and have recently
immigrated. Their response
to the fun family beach day is
joyful, as all our responses
would be.
Metamophosis
This story shows man's
transformations, with the most
obvious example being
Gregor’s metamorphosis into
an insect. Though Gregor’s
physical change is complete
when the story begins, he also
undergoes psychological
change as he adapts to his new
body. Grete experiences her
own transformation in the
story as she develops from a
child into an adult.
Connecting Theme
How do people
respond to change?
Definition: change
verb (used with object),
changed, chang·ing. 1. to make
the form, nature, content,
future course, etc., of
(something) different from
what it is or from what it
would be if left alone:
2. to transform or convert
(usually followed by into ).
3. to substitute another or
others for; exchange for
something else, usually of the
same kind.
Connection: Both representations of
Metamophosis use the strength of their
medium (words vs. images) to show
Gregor’s struggles physically and
psychologically with
the change of him
Metamophosis
becoming and insect.
Graphic Novel
Artist Peter Kuper used a
different medium to convey
visually similiar ideas of Franz
Kafka's novella in which the
character Gregor becomes and
insect; his discomfort , his
struggles on his job and his
relationship with his sister.
Connection: Change and the human
response to it can be scientifically
predicted, tracked and understood.
Sometimes it is outwardly observable and
easily understood. Other responses to
change, such as those that are internal or
psychological are not as easily observable
and but may be tracked by science and
equally or more so valid as the types of
human responses to change.
4. to give and take reciprocally;
interchange: to change places
with someone.
5. to transfer from one
another:
Connection: Some life
experiences elicit the similar
responses among many of us.
The fear and chaos of the World
Trade Tower bombing is a
situation that would engender
panic in many people; while a day
at the beach would elicit a
response of joy among most.
Simplexity
As a result of the Sept. 11
attacks on the World Trade
Towers, scientists have
studied the human responses
toward evaculation. People's
responses to crisis in
different ways. Some behave
rationally, while others'
actions become chaotic
guided by their fear.
