Static character

-Is one who does not change much in the course of a story- In many stories the main character under goes a dramatic life lesson where their entire outlook is turned around. However this is often not how real life works. people may under go a life changing experience but they may not learn from it and it is nearly impossible to change your life right of the bat. I think this book was more realistic in that aspect. It shows how the characters have nothing really interesting going on for the majority of their time and important things happen with long periods of time in between. So even though Jake our main character has some dramatic experiences he changes very little. In my opinion Jake is a static character. At the beginning of the book he is madly in love with Brett and will do anything for her and at the end of the book he is the exact same way even after all she has put him through.
