Description

Objectives: To be able to interpret a symbol & distinguish between flat and round & dynamic and static characters.







Flat: not fully developed; we know only one side of the character Round: fully-developed, with many traits--bad and good-shown in the story. We feel that we know the character so well that he or she has become a real person Static: does not experience a basic character change during the course of the story

Dynamic: experiences a basic change in character through the events of the story. This change is internal and may be sudden, but the events of the plot should make it seem inevitable.





Dynamic Character: Ebenezer Scrooge, in A Christmas Carol by Dickens, was very stingy with his money. He worked his employees extremely hard for little pay. After his experiences with the ghosts that visited him, he changed his ways, paying his employees a more than fair wage, providing days off work, and actually giving gifts. Static Character: In Finding Nemo, the sea turtles would be an example of static characters. They did not change throughout the movie. They were always helpful.

 Round: Frodo

Baggins from Lord of the Rings and X-Men’s Magneto are round characters because we know a lot about their personalities.

 Flat: Jafar

in Aladdin and the white rabbit in Alice… are flat because they possess few traits: Jafar is evil. The white rabbit is anxious and in a hurry.

 Symbol:

• What does the medicine bag symbolize to the

Sioux culture? To Martin and Grandpa?  Types

of Characters:
