The Lame Shall Enter First
1.
The father is a self-motivated character
because he has adjustment of heart.
2.
Rufus is a static character, this
can be proven as a fact because he does not change at all through the whole
story he is different, and hostile the whole time.
3.
The father is a very kindhearted, and passionate
person that reaches out to give others stability. He is also very intelligent, yet he said very
unusual things occasionally. He is a strong, religious person who forces
religion on other people that become friends with him or are just around him, whether
they believe in his religion or not.
4.
There is a teenager who is troubled, his
name is Rufus, and he also just got out of reformatory. Whenever he got out of
reformatory he lived with his grandparents because his father was no longer
alive, and his mother was in prison. Not only did Rufus have to dig through his
garbage to find food to feed himself, he was also being beat by his
grandfather. Rufus is not your average teenager, he doesn’t do things for
himself. He does the things that Satan tells him to do.

speaking: in English you is a second person pronoun.
3rd Person Omniscient - method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and
feelings of all of the characters in the story, as opposed to third person
limited, which follows closely to one character's outlook.
3rd Person
Limited - method of storytelling in which the narrator knows only the thoughts
and feelings of a single character, while other characters are presented only
externally. Third person limited grants a writer more freedom than first
person, but less than third person omniscient.
3rd Person - form
of storytelling in which a narrator relates all action in third person, using
third person pronouns such as "he" or "she." Third person
point of view may be omniscient or limited. Often new writers feel most
comfortable with first person, but writing in the third person allows a writer
more freedom in how a story is told.
