             What’s it like to have a wonderful life with your friends and family and out of the blue you have to move? I read a short story, “A Move That Changes Life,” written by May Alcott. The way I read the short story, I thought it followed Romance Mode of Literature. The story follows the characteristics and the plot line of Romance.
   
             In the beginning of the story is a minor conflict. Sara, that’s the main character has all great friends and lives a perfect life. She gets anything she wants. The miner conflict is her dad gets a new job. Sara is devastated but, Sara controls her feelings and decides this could be a fun move. Also the good part about the move is that she lives in New Jersey and she is moving to New York. Sara’s parents are happy that she’s not to upset about the move. After the miner conflict, there is a life symbolism. The life symbolism is that Sara later meets new friends and gets a new house. I can relate to the story because I move.

             As the plot line fits in with the book the characteristics do to. The characteristics is that Sara threw out the story is in control. For an example, Sara helps her mom pack boxes, she helps un-pack. Her mom is so busy working that she decides to start cleaning the house.
