My essay

A dynamic character is a character that under goes changes and isn't the same as they were when we (the readers) were introduced. In the book Les Mis there was one character that stood out the most to me. That was Jean Valjeaan.
When we first get introduced to Jean Valjean is this character that is sorta a father figure for his sister and her kids. I see him as being a father figure by the way he won't let them starve. When we had recently learned about him we knew that he got a good amount of years in jail for stealing some bread.
After he had been released from jail he was trying to fit in. Jean Valjean tried to be nice and get a place to stay and eat but once the owners saw he was In jail for a while they threw him out onto the street. Later In the book he met the pope. The pope was this kind guy who helped anyone even if they were rich, poor, or even an ex trouble maker like Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean later in the book steals from the pope. He gets caught by the police. They bring him back to the pope and ask him if he gave him the silver ware. The pope says yes and asks them to let Jean Valjean go. The pope even gave him more silver than what he had already stole. In this part of the book Jean is a backstabber to the pope who helped him.
Finally towards the end of the chapter on Jean Valjean he becomes embarrassed of him self. He starts to weep because he has been so cruel to the people he had just met. He got to this point because he had stole a silver coin from a random boy that had just passed by. When the boy left Jean Valjean could not find the boy. Jean had a flash back on what the pope had told him. The pope said that he had bought Jean's freedom. It hit him he started weeping and was embarrassed about him self. This was the last change we (readers) saw him undergo.
 Jean Valjean did not stay the same throughout the whole the portion of the book the book we read he went through major changes not just once but multiple times . This character changes because the pope words had just hit him and he realized. how bad he had been. The character gave me a suspense feel when he was stealing the silver ware from the pope. I also saw a bit of suspense.
