1. Todd. When he decided to not conform and stood on the desk. This showed that he had really changed
2. Charlie was static throughout the entire film
3. No, Mr. Keating did not change. Neil's death shook him, but did not change him. He is a static character
4. Neil- scared of his father and did not overcome his fear
Knox-- he feared regret. He went after the girl no matter what and knew he would regret if he didnt
Charlie- fear of conforming. He did overcome
. Todd- fear of nonacceptance. He never spoke, but overcame and became a leader

Betty Marriage

I do not think that Betty was definitely not happy in her marriage. She just liked the idea of marriage and was not ready for reality. her reality was a toxic marriage. Her mom's reaction to her unhappiness showed that she did not care about her daughter and probably had an unhappy marriage herself. Except, she didnt leave, she stayed unhappy, and took it out on Betty.Imglad Betty decided for herself to get a divorce with the help of Ms. Watson

Womens' "roles" vs. Katherine Watson

People in the 1950s typically did not expect much from women. At that time, women were expected to definatelybe married, and education was not needed for a woman to be able to survive. Some did not even have aspirations passed being a being a house wife and only taking care of their children their whole lives. Katherine differed from this persona in the sense of her being independent. She was not fixated on society's standards for women at this time. She was a free-thinker.
