Close-reading #2

• Start by taking the notes in red below on types of characters:

                                                        Dynamic vs. Static Characters 

Characters experience varying amounts of change over the course of a story. Two types of characters are:

• Static characters do not experience basic character changes during the course of the story. 

• Dynamic characters experience changes throughout the plot of a story. 

Although the change may be sudden, it is expected based on the story’s events. A story’s characters fall within a range—from very static characters that experience no change to very dynamic characters that undergo one or more major changes.
