Dynamic (developing) • a character who undergoes at least one permanent, important change in personality, nature, or attitude. • if a character has become noticeably more mature, wiser, more understanding, or more patient – or has changed in any other significant way = dynamic • Ex. Schatz in A Day’s Wait

5. Round • a well developed, multi-sided, and complex character. • we feel that we know the character so well that he or she has become a real person = round • Ex. Usually the protagonist/main character

6. Flat • is not fully developed • we know only one side (one description) of the character = flat • Ex. Character in a story, but he or she does not play a significant role (Mother in A Day’s Wait)
