   A static character is one who does not change during the story. He doesn't evolve or learn anything from his experiences, even though their situations may change. Mark is a static character. He doesn't learn anything from M&M's problems and resents Bryon for turning him in. Going to the reformatory doesn't even change Mark for the better.

   Bryon is the dynamic character in the story, the one who grows emotionally and morally. He turns in Mark, his long-time friend, because he's learned what is right and what is wrong.
