The story “<em><u>Broken Chain</u></em>” is written by <u>Gary Soto </u>and it deals with the teenager struggles that arise in Alfonso’s life. He doesn’t like the way he looks but he wants so badly to impress a girl named Sandra.
Question: A student is writing a paragraph about "Broken Chain" that makes the point that Alfonso’s conflict in the story is mainly an internal one. What would be the best illustration of this point?
Answer: A. He hates the way he looks and spends hours “trying to herd his teeth into place with his thumb.”
The answer is: A flat static character stays the same even though there is conflict in the story.
This means that the character does not develop or change or is effected by events that take place in the story, they remain the same. Their personality does not change throughout the story. They are relatively uncomplicated characters.
