A character that can be described as an example of a dynamic character is Ralph. I was brought to this conclusion due to the character development this certain person endured throughout the story. At the beginning of the novel, Ralph behaves like a normal child, full of innocence and confidence. The rest of the children see this and decide to make him the chief due to his leader qualities. As the story progresses, we can see how Ralph is sullied and forced to grow up when he realizes the declining conditions they learned to be accustomed to. We can also see how insecure and hopeless he begins to feel when they majority of the littleuns decide to turn to savagery and join Jack. Even at some point, Ralph experiences the blood lust Jack and his hunters share which leads him to question his morals and values. In summary, Ralph is a dynamic character because of how realistic and fully developed his mentality changed as their stay on the island prolonged.

A character who is an example of a round character has to be Jack. Why Jack because his ideals and mindset changes drastically through out the book.

With the fading of the light the riotous colors died and the heat and urgency cooled away. The candle-buds stirred. Their green sepals drew back a little and the white tips of the flowers rose delicately to meet the open air."

"What was that?"

The fat boy glanced over his shoulder, then leaned toward Ralph. He whispered.

"They used to call me 'Piggy.'"

Ralph shrieked with laughter. He jumped up.
