The story is told from a 3rd person linear narrative and it is a "collection of prose - poetry narrative performances, and a meditation for the reader's contemplation."[3] Writer Kirsten Holst Petersen considers Changes an "adaption of a particular Akan oral performance form in which the audience is presented with a performed narrative through which to debate a series of moral issues to no real conclusion."[3] Aidoo also "creates a parallel between theme and form... allow[ing] the reader access to…different layers of meaning within the text, [through] the traditional players of the dilemma tale [as well as] a variety of other voices," such as the dialogue between the two village women that opens Part II.[3]
