Dynamic versus Static Characters

teejay2damaxx's picture

In Finding Lubchenko all three of the main chracters- Evan, Erika, and Rueben, change. Evan's opinions change very drastically, like sometimes it seems like he'll think something and then go against it later in the book. Rueben changes because he is against most of Evan's crazy ideas, but ends up going along with them. Erika changes in her opinion of guys, like it seems like she likes Evan at times but then at times isn't interested in him at all. A static character in the book (as far as I've read [Page 173]) is Evan's dad. He is very immovable in his opinions, and you can tell by the way he treats Evan.

I like the book so far.

static vs. dynamic

In the book "Finding Lubchenco" there are four main characters, Evan, Rueben, Erika, and Frank. I think all throughout the book all of the main characters change except for Frank (Evan’s dad). I think that they all a bit more mature by the end of the book. In the beginning of the book Evan is a rebel kid that does not do well in school and steals stuff from his dad's company to sell on eBay. Also in the beginning of the book he hates his dad with a passion. By the end of the book he flew off to Paris to try to help his dad. This character is a very dynamic character.

Dynamic vs. static characters

I believe that the main character Evan Macalister is a dynamic character because he starts out being opposed to his dad and his dads company but as the story progresses he tries to save his dads company and you see that he does care about his dad.
I believe that the main character Ruben is a dynamic character because he starts out being opposed to Evans crazy ideas but as the story progresses he starts to get a little more reckless.
