Anna is a dynamic character because of the facts we know about her and that we learn almost her entire history. We know her personality and her background by the end of the story we know how she reacts to situations and other behavioral traits characters becomes well known by the reader.

Firstly, Annabeth is very intelligent coming from her genetics from her mother side. She is the daughter of Athena who is the god of knowledge and wisdom and that is why Annabeth is very intelligent and gets herself out of problems. Annabeth grabs a green gazing ball from a nearby pedestal. “ A polished shield would be better.” She studied the sphere critically. “The convexity will cause some distortion. The reflections size should be off by a factor of-” “Would you…” “Just look at her in the glass. Never look at her directly” (Riordan, 182). Annabeth shows her intelligence by figuring out who Madusa is and how she behaves, and her powers/weapons. She tells Percy to not look at her directly because she would turn him into a statue. Annabeth is very clever, “Your father is not dead, Percy.” “How can you say that? You know him?” “No, of course not.”

Odysseus fought his way through monsters, outsmarted gods, and survived grueling years of isolation to finally reach her. Odysseus would not have been considered a hero if his journey had been an easy one.

Can you imagine losing your dad, being kidnapped, and having your stepdad go to jail all before you even become an adult? The main character, Stephanie, in the book Taken, by Norah McClintock experienced this. Stephanie was brave enough to escape from her kidnapper, and was daring enough to eat nothing but birch bark and maggots in able to survive for six days. While Stephanie was trying to escape the woods and get home, she always thought about her family, and how important they are to her. The survival skills that her grandpa gave her helped her sustain herself and she constantly thought about how she should treat her mom better.

6. The men in the novel, other than Michael and young Brand, really came across as undesirable. We heard how they worked, drank, and got their wives pregnant, and that was about it. However, I think that a lot of that strength that the women had was realistic, because they got their strength from the things that they went through. However, if I was in that time and place, I would not be able to marry any of those men because of all their bad qualities. Anna becomes so strong and independent when she realizes that men come and go, but her strength is what will last a life

After she had made it through the rough part of her experience, her perspective on life changed. Anna's time in the hospital helped her to see things

Anna would make a good leader because she was independent, as demonstrated in this quote, “‘My father is not as strong as I am. He does not see how she manipulates him.’ I slid my eyes towards Simon to see how he reacted to this treasonous talk, but he made no reaction, so I went on. ‘I won’t have to listen to anyone I don’t want to. Anyway, you’re a lot more intelligent than that old woman. And I like you much more’”(Barrett 108-9). This quote shows that Anna would not listen to anyone other than herself and made her own decisions. Some readers might say that Anna was not independent, but submissive, as demonstrated by another quote, “Normally I would have objected to the idea of an audience with old men who did not even speak Greek, but this day I was pleased to show off my new dress. They would praise my beauty, my royal bearing, my

In the book she talks about something that she refers to as “the knowing”. On an interview on therumpus.com with Julie Morse, she describes it as “ a vast field of intelligence beyond mental clatter and any kind of dividing line. It can be seen as a being and it is, many beings, and it is, a geometric flow, and it is- part of all of us, or we are part of it.” Joy’s journey in life had been a difficult one. Because she is of Native American heritage, her experiences are rooted in tradition and spiritual values. She had always felt this “knowing” and it seems to be her guide throughout her life. She had the ability to trust “the knowing” and that's what you call brave. Like I explained in the introduction, Joy had a difficult life and she did things that she promised herself she wouldn’t. For example, she married a drunk like her father and stepfathers; she also became an alcoholic herself. What saved her from this was her sense of dreaming, poetry, music

had a wide-range perspective. She fought for what she believed in, never giving up, dying for her

The story takes place in Reno, Nevada in the present. The most important characters in the book are Kristina and Bree. The protagonist in the story is Kristina.

It was the first time I ever walked away from a fight" (Page 76). This was very courageous because she did something important for her family and she also did the right thing. It probably wouldn’t have been as courageous if she would always back down from fights but it was her first time and she did it for her family.

Though she has to lose many people and make numerous sacrifices on this journey, she never gives up. In a way, she becomes victorious even in her most difficult times. She never accepts her defeat in her quest for a dignified life.
