An example of a dynamic character in "A Child Called It" is Dave Pelzer's mom, Catherine. In the beginning of the story, she is happily married with three kids, and treats all of her children equally, as she does not beat David at all. However, once Dave turns four years old, his mother begins to drink more and more and eventually drinks just about all day, causing her to become an alcoholic and she beats Dave regularly. She can be delightful and nice when around other people and in public, but if something gets her mad, or she just decides that she doesn't want to be pleasant, she becomes a crazed woman who takes all of her anger out on David. She convinces the school that she had not beaten Dave at all, and it was himself doing the damage as she told them he had a very broad imagination. Catherine's son, however, is a static character in the story, "A Child Called It". He is a static character because he remains in the same fighting attitude the whole story as he does all he can to stay positive through the beatings and starvings, and does not give up at any time. Even through the roughest periods. His main goal was to not let his mom win, and was determined to make it through the hard times his mother was putting him through. The only time in this story that he would be a dynamic character, is in the beginning, before he turned four years old, when he had a happy family with his mother, father, and two brothers. Dave is also bullied by the students that go to his school, but he does not see this as bad as what he gets at home, but still has that attitude of getting through the rough times in his life.
