I read the book True Legend by Mike Lupica. To keep a book alive and interesting authors use three different character types. Those character types are static, dynamic, and stereotype. Mike Lupica did a very good job at keeping the reader focused. Drew was the dynamic character because he had some important decisions that had a big impact on what would happen.
How a character acts and what their personality is can describe their character trait. Sometimes characters are different in their traits, oftenly characters can be the same by changing or revising their own character trait. The protagonist is Doug from Okay for Now, by Gary Schmidt. Doug is a teenage boy that is struggling with a rough family. Doug 's father got a new job that was far away from his own town so, Doug has to adapt to the town that he moved to.
Have you ever read The Scarlet Ibis? James Hurst wrote the fictional story "The Scarlet Ibis" that has a lot of elements mixed into the story. A few of these elements inside this story include characterization, imagery, and foreshadowing. The Scarlet Ibis uses characterization, imagery, and foreshadowing to create a beautiful, well-written story that can mess with the audience's feelings.
A dynamic character is a literary or dramatic character who undergoes an important inner change, as a change in personality or attitude. In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller there are many dynamic characters involved. Some of these dynamic characters include Abigail Williams whom was one of the initial accusers in the witch trails who had an affair with John Proctor, Reverend Hale whose job was to diagnose witchcraft in Salem, and John Proctor who had an affair with Abigail Williams. In my opinion, John Proctor underwent the most dramatic change in this play for the better. He changes a lot as the play progresses.
A dynamic, or round, character is a major character that encounters conflict and is changed by it. Reverend Hale is a dynamic character, he undergoes a dynamic change throughout the play. Based on his transformation, Hale truly is a good man. In Act 1, Hale arrived in Salem to fix a "spiritual problem." He believed witchcraft to be very true and very prevalent in the area.
If his character had to be labeled, he would be labeled as a dynamic protagonist. He would be considered dynamic because of the great deeds and achievements that he was known for. He is considered a protagonist because of the good he did for others and his ability to persevere through conflict. Most of George’s life was about him overcoming adversity and racism, and though all this he also showed extreme love for others. An example of this could be found in chapter 12.
I made the mistake of reading the first Little House on the Prairie book once again after finishing the series. It was just so hard to believe that the distinguished Laura Ingalls Wilder was once a naughty five-year-old, always secondary to her flawless older sister. This transformation made me realize that in reality or literature, characters change as they grow. Their change depends on the events taking place in the book, which explains how and why Laura Ingalls rose up to be the head of the family when her older sister was unable to do so. Many literary works portray growth or refinement of certain characters; physically, mentally, or emotionally.
All readers have come across the stereotypical character who is charming, good-looking, and the savior of the story and our hearts, but that is present in commercial fiction. In literary fiction, characters are something greater and deeper. In literary fiction, characterization is considered one of the most important elements in an author’s work. Characterization is the concept of creating a character.
Dynamic changes such as his view on family, religion, freedom, and his identity all make Elie Wiesel a dynamic character. The first major dynamic change is family. Elie grew up with his father, mother, and three sisters, which most people would consider a normal household. He valued his family.
A dynamic character is somebody that changes his or her personality or attitude. Victor’s creature from Mary Shelley’s novel fits the definition of a dynamic character because he changes his attitude during the novel. The creature in the beginning of the novel starts being a good “person.” He did a lot of kind things for human beings like helping Felix’s family.
A lousy teenager likes Nate, who no one ever wants to come across to. In the novel “One of Us is Lying” by Karen M. McManus, the character Nate Macauly, the most suspicious out of the four suspects to have killed Simon Kellher, is classified as a dynamic character because Nate is known to have an infamous reputation at school. The way he dresses and how he smells is what made ugly rumours around him resulting in everyone staying away from him. This results in Nate not having any friends. But ever since the tragedy of Simon’s death, Nate began the transition to becoming a better person.
At first she was broken by the news when she received it. Receiving the news, she suddenly felt like her world had changed. A dynamic character is a character that goes through a change after a conflict or a crisis, this change happens over time. Even though her husband did not die Mrs. Mallard still went through the traumatic experience of losing a loved one.
Character development is literary device used in every piece of writing. It can be large or small. The characters change in one way or another. Character development can be clearly stated or hinted by the author. Authors explain character developments via dialogue, actions, conflicts, and many other things.
Characters can change a great deal throughout the course of a story. Based off of "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," we see just how much a character will change. There are many reasons for the character shift (undergoes an inner change) that are left up for our interpretation, which can be read about in The Theory Toolbox. In "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," the grandma undergoes a great deal of shifting in her character.
