The Member of the Wedding

"She was back to the fear of the summertime, the old feelings that the world was seperate from herself-and the failed wedding had quickened the fear to terror." 157

This passage comes from the very end of the book, after the wedding is over and Frankie is back home. At this point, she has just been caught after trying to run away because she was not allowed to go with her brother and Janice. It seems like Frankie is right back where she was at the beginning of this book and that nothing has changed. You would think that Frankie would have grown some from her experiences with the soldier and going to the wedding, but it seems like she is right back where she started. Is there some change in Frankie or are things the same?

Do you think that Frankie changed/grew throughout the novel? Why or why not?
