Character development is the way a character changes and matures throughout the story.
Events in a character’s life can cause them to change.
Other people in a character’s life can cause a character to go through a change.
We often see these changes through what the character says and how he/she acts.
Characters who grow and change because of the events in the story are called dynamic characters.
Changes in Intelligence: A character may learn new things and gain more knowledge about a specific issue or topic.
Changes in Social Ability: A character may change how he/she acts toward others.
Changes in Physical Appearance: A character may change the way he/she looks as the story goes on.
Changes in Emotional Feelings: A character may change how he/she feels about something or someone.
