Lizabeth is a character in the story "Marigolds" written by Eugenia Collier. She is a 14 year old girl who is debating between childhood and adulthood.
The sentence that best shows that she is a dynamic character is:
Lizabeth doesn't understand why Miss. Lottie works so hard to keep pretty flowers in her garden when the rest of the town is dusty and poor.
She is a girl that is always trying to find out the reasons of things. She doesn't think that the marigolds belong to a town which lives in poverty and misery. After listening to her parents arguing, Lizabeth was eventually so angry, that she went out, early in the morning, and ripped up Miss Lottie's marigolds. She didn't see a reason for them to stay, until after she had ripped them up.
In the beginning, Lizabeth thought that the marigolds were pointless. At the end, she understood that she was wrong and they symbolized hope and beauty.
Those changes made her a dynamic character, a perosn who can reflect on her actions.
It is a compound sentence, because this sentence consists of two independent clauses ('the lamp fell over' and '(the lamp) scared the cat"). Simple sentence would have only one independent clause.
The statement, Keep to your topic; follow the thesis as it evolves, is true!
