A static character is a character that has personality, but has not changed heart or outlook on life by the end of the story. For example, Killer Kane from Freak the Mighty. He's evil and cruel at the beginning and the same way by the end of the book. Hope I helped!
In "To an Athlete Dying Young," the poet writes an elegy for a young, athletic man who recently passed away. This is naturally a sad subject, and the poet does begin his writing with a sad and somber tone of pity.
However, the author makes use of the structure of the poem in order to surprise his readers. Despite the sad tone of the first stanza, as the poem progresses, the tone becomes one of satisfaction and praise, which comes as a surprise to the reader.
The author is able to use each stanza to present different and contrasting ideas. While he agrees that dying young is a shame, he reflects on how quickly youth is gone, and on how many men lost their reputation by the time they became old. He claims that, by dying young, the athlete will never have to face old age, decline or loss of glory. Therefore, despite the sadness, the author is able to obtain some positive ideas from the situation.

My perfect day would be when I wake up having breakfast in my bed with my favorite movie and then put on the most comfortable and beautiful clothes I have, go out with my friends. When I get home, my family has prepared my favorite food for me, but to make the day perfect they cannot say no to anything or scold me. At night, have a sleepover with my best friend and stay up until dawn.
