In lines 140-150, what hasn't changed is that the father still switches off the electricity generator at 10 p.m. and goes to sleep in his study. The expression "as was custom" marks that this has not changed.
The language that shows that the father is changing can be found in lines 141, 173 and 175-176:
In line 141 we learn that he does not use certain rooms ("rooms we'd stopped using").
In line 173 we read that the father "seemed lighter" and chatted with his son.
In lines 175-176 the father says that "now he might be able to come to the end-of-the-year recital" at his child's school.

3. Mr. Mendez's conversation about how Will (the man who looks like a caterpillar) can do more about being a freak and the moment when he realized he could swim.
4. He started to present himself as a circus attraction, because of his skills and talents and not because of his syndrome and appearance
5. At the beginning Will is a sad and melancholy man, because of everything that happens and how he is treated in the horror show he participates in. However, when he decides to join Butterfly Circus, he finds himself in an environment where he is treated well and encouraged to be a better person. This makes him change the way he sees himself, the way he behaves and his mood, being a happy person.
Explanation:
Butterfly Circus is an independent short film, set during the Great Depression. In this story we are introduced to Will, who has no arms or legs and performs at the city's horror show. However, this is an environment that makes Will sad, melancholy and hopeless, because he is very badly treated and does not see himself as someone who can do anything but present himself as a freak.
Until he decides to join Butterfly Circus, a circus where people are encouraged to discover their talents and live happily, satisfied with themselves. That's what Will does.
