The story “ The Rocking-Horse Winner” is written in third person and the story itself is very omniscient. This narrative technique is used effectively for a story that walks the line between social realism and the supernatural. I think Paul is dynamic because he changes but yet only in money wise.

Paul is a round character he changes after
