Read the passage below. Then explain how the setting helps to develop the following theme: No matter how much we want to deny it, people change over time. Use specific examples from the text in supporting your response. Passage When I went back to Eastborough for my 20th high school reunion, I didn't know what to expect. I was excited to see the old gang: Squid, Tony, and Mikey were all going to be there. I hadn't been back since graduation, but when I stepped into the old gym it felt like coming home. There was the stage where I starred in Hamlet, and the hoop where I hit the game-winning shot. I felt like a king again, like nothing had changed. I saw the guys and ran over. "Squid!" I yelled and punched him in the arm, just like the four of us used to do. He seemed a little taken aback. "Actually, I go by my real name now: Harold." "Hey, sorry Squid. No offense. How are you doing, Mikey? Tony? "Good," Mikey said. "Enjoying this get-together, though I'll have to get the kids home soon." "Me, too," said Tony. "Soon?" I said, "I just got here! Why don't we sneak into the science lab and race some of the frogs, like old times?" It went on like that for a few more minutes: me trying to get those guys to lighten up and them making excuses until they finally left. Standing alone after the guys left, I looked around again. The paint was chipped on the ceiling, and cobwebs laced across every corner. The banners on the wall were faded. Suddenly, I didn't feel like a king anymore. Nothing was the same, was it?
