Character Development Empire of the Sun

At the start of the movie the main character Jim was a very innocent boy had everything a young would want and a mansion to put all in. He even had servants, chefs, and even a driver. Then after the war started he didn't know what to do and then ran into a man who have a big reason for his charter development. Well his friend Bassie who would teach him how to fend for his self and to hustle to get what you want also taught he taught him how to steal. The main character went through a lot of changes but I think that the whole war made him a man at the end. The reason I say this is because he went from a boy who knew nothing about the world to a little with not all the knowledge in the world but a better idea of what the world is about.
