  • Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen Although Samuel's Parents Lived in the Wilderness, They Were Not a Part of It
    Story Elements Characters A dynamic character is one who goes through a personality change due to the events in the story. A static character is one whose personality does not change throughout the story. Round Characters A round character is one whose personality, background, motives, and other features are fully described or explained by the author. In general, main characters are round because many insights are given. Flat Characters A flat character is one who is not fully described but is useful in carrying out some narrative purpose of the author. They tend to be minor characters. Dynamic and Round In most books the main character is both dynamic and round. Round and Static Characters can be round and static. For example, think about the character James Bond. We know a great deal about this character’s personality (round), yet he does not go through an inner personality change from the beginning to the end of the story (static). Often the side-kick in a story is round and static. Dynamic and Flat Characters cannot be dynamic and flat, because in a flat character we do not know enough about them to recognize a change. Dynamic or Static Round or Flat Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol Dynamic and Round Dynamic or Static Round or Flat Billy Coleman from Wilson Rawls Where the Red Fern Grows Dynamic and Round Dynamic or Static Round or Flat Will Coleman (Billy’s dad) from Wilson Rawls’ Where the Red Fern Grows Static and Flat Dynamic or Static Round or Flat Mayor Cole from Jeanne DuPrau’s The City of Ember Static and Flat Dynamic or Static Round or Flat Lina Mayfleet from Jeanne DuPrau’s The City of Ember Dynamic and Round Dynamic or Static Round or Flat Robin from Batman Static and Round Assignment On your story map list these characters in The Cay.
