CHARACTER EVOLUTION IN LORD OF
THE FLIES
Dynamic vs. Static Characterswww.etymonline.com
Characters experience varying amounts of change over the course of a story. Two types of characters are:
Static characters •Dynamic characterswww.etymonline.com
Static characters
that do not experience basic character changes during the course of the story.
Dynamic characters
• that experience changes throughout the plot of a story. Although the change may be sudden, it is expected based on the story’s events.
Your Goal 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.
Your job is to chart this growth. Chapter 1-6 then Chapters 7-12
Part One: Filling Out the OrganizerCharacter Development
Defining Moments for CharacterStep One
1. Focusing on chapters 1-6, choose five defining moments for your character. In other words, choose five moments from the novel that changed your character in a significant way.
Where do I get these moments?
www.kennethmhill.com has full text to copy and paste
http://gv.pl/pdf/lord_of_the_flies.pdf From your book: chapters 1-6 or beyond if
you are further Or
Many internet sources: Google: e.g., “Lord of the Flies” Ralph/Roger/Jack quotes
Step Two 2. Find a quote to
support each defining moment. Don’t forget to include the page number!
Step Three 3. Briefly describe the
way in which each moment changed your character.
Step Four 4. Note whether your moment
was “low,” “medium,” or “high.” Low moments changed your character in a negative way, high moments improved your character, and medium moments were neutral.
LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH
This correlates to the visual character development chart we will be creating.
REMINDER!!! 5. Remember to keep
your moments in chronological order (don’t skip back and forth in time).
