I could have cared less about the newest “fad.” If I had food to eat and a roof over my head I considered it wealthy. I hadn’t the slightest clue about name brands or the fanciest televisions.

    The story “ The Rocking-Horse Winner” is written in third person and the story itself is very omniscient.

I also think that he is kind of static‚ because other than that he just gets rich and that is the only thing that changes because he always believed in himself. Paul is a round character he changes after

This allows for very clear character‚ plot‚ and conflict development. While the
