Author's Note: This is a writing piece for Language Arts. The purpose is to improve my character development score.
Michael Obi is a determined man who decides to try and make a difference in his new community. He became a headmaster at a new school and decided to make the most of it. When he made a big mistake though, his expectations and attitude dropped by a bunch.
He is an younger man who got a new job as a headmaster or principle of a brand new school and district that he has never been involved in. He is young and has a nice wife that really cares about him and his job. She decided to plant a beautiful flower bed near the school. Michael was a very proud man at this point in his life, but he still didn't know the special traditions or the school and community. This doesn't sound very important, but later in the story, he finds out just how much that place where the flowers were planted really meant to the community.
One day, he saw an old lady hobble through what his wife planted in her personal time. Obviously, his wife wasn't so happy about this. In fact, Michael himself was furious and frustrated about this event. He was standing and talking with another friend/teacher by a nearby window at this time so he clearly saw what happened. Later though, he found out that that part of the campus played a humungous part in the lives of that community. They believed that that was the place where their ancestors descended and where they will go when they die. They also believed that they could visit their ancestors by going there. Obi made a fence blocking the access to the flowers and special area. When he came to school within the next week to find the place completely vandalized, he went from ecstatic to feeling terrible.
In conclusion, Obi's life went from ecstatic to in the dumpster within only a few weeks. Obviously he is a dynamic character in this short story because of his actions. He went from all nice, happy, and encouraging, to fencing off one of the most important things in town.
