Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

In a work of literature, characters can be said to be either dynamic, or they can be static or flat. "Static" or "flat" characters tend to be one-sided, and they do not change during the novel.

"Dynamic" characters are more fleshed-out, and they usually grow or change in some way throughout the novel. Often, a main character is dynamic, while minor characters tend to be more static or flat.

1. Give 2 examples of dynamic characters from the book. For each, write a paragraph explaining how you know that this character is dynamic.

2. Who are some characters who are flat or static? For each one that you list, mention their primary defining characteristic.

Essay Topic 2

Personification is when an object or idea is used to represent a person, or is treated as though it were a person. Personification can also refer to when a human is meant to represent an idea. For example, Jack Frost is the personification of frost. Cite 3 examples of personification in the book. How does the author show the reader that these objects or ideas are treated as people?

Essay Topic 3

Almost all of the characters in the novel are very wealthy, and many of them are concerned with material goods and physical appearance.

3. What does materialism and tangible wealth represent in the book? Could the book unfold the same way without materialism?
