Waiting+For+Normal;+Character+Assignment


 * Waiting For Normal:** **Character Assignment**
 * Dynamic Character:** A dynamic character in the story would probably be, Addie. She changes the most in the story. In the begining, she really wasn't thinking to deeply about her home situatuion. She just knew that where she was and that she was going to be going to school there. She really didn't know what she wanted either. She was just kind of stuck with her mother's unstable action's. When she starts to realize what her mother's actions resulting in, such as not having enough food and her not being there all the time, she starts to change. She becomes more aware of everything around her and starts to get real emotions about it. She starts to miss her sisters, but she doesn't want to leave her mom all by herself. In the end she feels bad for her mom, but learns that in order for her to have a normal life with her sisters she has to give up taking care of her mom and let her make her own decisions.


 * Static Character:** Mommers would be the static character in the book. She really doesn't change her ways of being childlike and depending on her daughter. In the start of the book, she complains about the trailer, doesn't really take care of her daughter, sleep's in a lot, goes on the computer instead of making dinner, going out and drinking and coming home really really late.In the middle she slightly changes and does start paying more attention to Addie. By the end she really hasn't changed at all. She wants Addie back and promises that she'll do better when she comes back. Addie of course never ends up coming back and you could easily expect that Mommers does not change.


 * Round Character**: There are many round characters in the book, but the one that probably stands out the most is Elliot Elliot is kind of the one who doubts everything. He expects the worse outcome out of situations, and complains a lot about their corner. Of how it never seems to change and the people who move to their corner always seem to leave. Addie and Soula eventually teach him to be a bit more carefree. To have fun with his life because you never know when your time could be up.


 * Flat Character:** Hannah, Dwight's girlfriend is the flat character in the book. She knows how smart Addie really can be and how great she is in the beginning. Once she finds out how her situation with her mom, she feels sympathy for her but doesn't do much to help. In the middle of the book, Hannah starts to get to know Addie a little bit more. She still doesn't try to help her out with her Mom though. In the end she is happy that Dwight got custody of her and the are all a family finally. Ig uess you could say Hannah's situation doesn't change much throughout the book, but she still feels bad for her.
