Morals
In Jack Schaefer's novel Shane, Jack Schaefer states his oppinion on peoples ability to change. Shane says to Bob, "A man is what he is, Bob, and there's no breaking the mold." Jack Scaefer supports this quote by making Shane return to his old method of dealing with problems. When Shane first arrived he was dessed in all black. Shane later tells the Starrett family thatr he was a gunfighter in his past. Later in the novel you can tell that Shane is to avoid his past, Shane begins to dress in colors besides black and he also tries to handle problems verbally rather than physically. Shane tries very hard to prevent having to return to his violent past. Shane keeps to himself a lot too, Shane does not like disscusing his past with anybody, as if he were ashamed. When confrtont Shane Stark Wilson, Shane tries to give Stark Wilson a chance out, Shane gives Stark wilson a chance to walk away, but Stark Wilson refuses.

Modivation and support is a great way to help a persaon change. If a person wishes to stop being greedy for example, the best way to do so is by having somebody by your side to teach you how to share and be generous.
