Part A: Examining Character Change
The main character or the protagonist, namely Trevor, is forced to face a number of health issues. The first and the most serious type of struggle was Parkinson’s disease. He had to give up his nightlife after the onset of the disease. The disease compelled him to retreat to the seclusion of his luxury condominium. Due to Parkinson’s, Trevor experienced hand jerks and finger flicks at the beginning. The symptoms aggravated to “the sensation of feeling suffocating hot and clammily cold at the same time. (This one has already made a few appearances, leading to the performance of silent-movie routines worthy of Chaplin, where I desperately dial up the thermostat while opening windows to stick my head out into the twenty-below air)” (Pyper 22) (INTERNET ARCHIVE). Another struggle that led from the detection of Parkinson’s was Trevor’s impotence. He mentions, “Impotence. Did I fail to mention that this is coming down the pike too?” (Pyper 23) (INTERNET ARCHIVE).  
Trevor tried to keep his physical ailments as a secret. He tried to act normally so that people in his high school were unaware of his Parkinson’s disease and the struggles that he had to go through. In order to elucidate his condition, Trevor comments, “With full concentration I am able to punch an elevator button, hold a menu, and write my signature on the credit card slip- all without giving away my status as a Man with a Serious Disease.
