Week 4 lesson "Character Types", Journal Assignment help
After reading “Character” in the Week 4 lesson "Character Types" (Be sure to click on "Different Kinds of Characters" at the top of your screen), write several paragraphs on the different character types—flat, round, static, and dynamic. Then, using characters from this week’s stories, identify a dynamic character and a static character and explain your reasoning.A. Note that "A & P" . Here is the link: Updike's "A&P" Links to an external site.B. Here is a link to a PDF of "The Things They Carried." "The Things They Carried" Links to an external site.CharacterCharacters and character development are the heart of good fiction. I can think of only a few stories that don’t have well-developed, interesting characters. Although sometimes plot seems to push characters around at will, in many cases, the actions grow directly from characters, from their motivations, from their desires. Good characters can seem as real to us as our neighbors or our classmates.It should go without saying that short-story writers have fewer words with which to create characters than do novelists; therefore, they must waste no words in character development. Often a character can be brought to life with a sentence or two. In a novel by Nanci Kincaid (who earned her MFA in creative writing at the University of Alabama and has been quite successful), she brings a villain to life with twelve words: “The first time we ever saw Old Alfonso he was drowning dogs.” If we see a man in a story talking to a tree, we might reasonably infer that the man has psychological problems. If we see a housewife in a story pull a bottle of gin from its hiding place behind the dryer and take a furtive pull, we might safely assume that she has a drinking problem. Good writers show us who their characters are rather than tell us.Be observant when you read a story: What do we learn about characters from even their most apparently insignificant actions or words? How are they like people we know? How are they different? What can they teach us about ourselves?The Different Kinds of CharactersCharacters, of course, play different roles within stories. We identify with some characters, while we see other characters as somehow in conflict with the character or character with whom we identify. Some characters are more fully developed than others. Some characters change during the course of their stories, while others do not. Some characters are realistic, while others are more symbolic. We use the following terms to categorize characters:Protagonist: The protagonist is usually the character with whom we most identify, or the central character. Often he or she may be considered the “hero” of the story, but in some cases the protagonist is anything but a hero. In Brett Easton Ellis’s American Psycho, the protagonist is just what the title says he is: a psychopath.Antagonist: The antagonist, if there is one, is in some way in opposition to the protagonist. Often the antagonist is a villain, but that is not always the case. In some stories—ones in which the writers attempt to show that things are not always black and white, for instance—it is difficult for the reader to determine who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. An excellent example of this can be found in Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood’s dark 1992 Western. The Eastwood and Gene Hackman characters are clearly in opposition to one another, although neither is wholly good or wholly evil. Occasionally, the antagonist isn’t even a person: in Moby-Dick, the antagonist is a sperm whale; in The Perfect Storm the antagonist is nature, specifically the weather.Round Characters: Round characters are well developed. We learn much about them from their actions, from exposition, or from their thoughts and/or words. We learn about their worries, their desires, their fears, their drives. Of course, there are varying degrees of roundness. When you read a story, determine who is the central character and jot down notes about what you learn about the character.Flat Characters: We learn little about flat characters: they are often like cardboard cutouts. They do little more than fill out scenes, like extras in movies.Dynamic Characters: Dynamic characters undergo some significant change in the course of the story. The change can be subtle, or it can be drastic and profound. The change can be either positive or negative. Most often, the change is a direct result of the events of the story. A classic example of a dynamic character is Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. At the beginning of the story, Scrooge is a bitter, heartless miser, but by the end he has become generous, warm-hearted, and joyful. (I just thought of another dynamic Christmas story character: the Grinch.)Static Characters: Static characters remain essentially unchanged by the events of their stories. Often these are the peripheral characters, but sometimes the central character undergoes no lasting change. In “Kubuku Rides (This is It),” by Larry Brown, the main character is an alcoholic who simply cannot change although her drinking is costing her everything that is important to her.Character Types: In some stories we find familiar characters common to much fiction: the hooker with the heart of gold; the hard-nosed, to-hell-with-the-regulations cop; the absent-minded professor. Good fiction usually avoids character types in favor of distinct, realistic characters; in some cases, however, characters in good fiction may be viewed as types or even as symbols. We have a fine example of this coming up in a few weeks, but I don’t want to spoil your reading pleasure here. Character types are most often used in allegorical fiction (see page 30 in Reader’s Guide). As you read the stories this week, make a list of significant characters and place them in the appropriate categories (remember: a character can be both round and static, or flat and static—try to determine whether a character fits into more than one category).

Walden University Variables Measurement and SPSS Discussion
SPSS is a statistical software program that allows you to enter these variables into a spreadsheet format and record the measurements from a sample. Additionally, SPSS allows you to perform statistical analysis. Before launching into your analyses, though, it is important to understand how the variables are measured. That understanding will help you interpret the SPSS output.
In this week’s Discussion, you considered topics with social change implications. For this Assignment, you will examine data to analyze independent and dependent variables, determine how they are measured, and decipher whether a social change question can be answered and the implications for such change.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the Learning Resources as well as the SPSS resources found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Review, download, and install the SPSS software on your computer using the IBM SPSS Installation and Registration document for PC or for MAC in this week’s Learning Resources.
Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in this week’s Learning Resources and then choose two variables that interest you.
For this Assignment:
Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES.
A description of what the each of the variables measure.
A description of the unit of analysis.
A description and explanation of the levels of measurement for each variable (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio).
Explain how you might conceive these variables to be used to answer a social change question. What might be the implications for social change?

(One and one half typed pages)Prince Metternich's "system" was a fifteen year attempt to re-establish, throughout Europe, the political "Establishment" which existed prior to the French Revolution. Why, in your opinion, did many people believe this was the proper way for societies to exist, despite the results of the Industrial Revolution and the resistance to same by artists of the Romantic Movement?In your answer, describe what you believe the political Establishment(s) represented, and do you believe it was possible for them to adapt to the changes the Nineteenth Century was bringing forth, even if circumstances had been different?Question 2. (One and one half typed pages)A noted historian has claimed that Prince Metternich's "system" of enforcing the decisions of the Vienna Congress was like a fire department putting out the fires of liberty. Do you agree with this? Explain in detail why or why not. In answering this question, compare the views of "liberals" and "conservatives" of the nineteenth century.Question 3. (One typed page)Why do you think the first revolts of 1830 and 1848 break out in France rather than in another European country? If you were a nineteenth century French citizen, would you have supported these revolts? Explain why or why not. Would you have voted for Napolean Ill? Why or why not?

Consultation, Supervision, and Advocacy Plan
Introduction
For this assignment, imagine you have been contacted by an agency in your community to provide consultation on how they might improve their services to clients. The agency is concerned that clients with serious counseling issues are "falling between the cracks" when they are referred to others in the community for intensive treatment. Furthermore, the brief aftercare they provide is not accessible enough to sufficiently support clients as they re-integrate into the community.
