One of our Protagonist- Kate Weatherall
One of the Protagonists in The Mysterious Benedict Society is Kate Weatherall. She is one of of the leading or main characters. Even though the story is told from Reynie's perspective when Kate is in the story when makes a big contribution. Kate is a genius at solving physical problems. She can do anything if they are needed.
The Great Kate Weather Machine
Kate is the toughest characters in the book. There is no challenge she is afraid to face or can not complete even if it takes her a long time.
Kate in Action
Kate is the character that can do anything she sets to. She is able to help her team no matter what it takes. She has done many things to help her team already.
In The Bucket
Kate carries a bucket with her wherever she goes. She keeps things that she thinks that she will need encase of an emergency. It often comes in handy.
Round......Flat......Static......Dynamic
Kate is a round character because the author tells you all about how she looks, acts, and what she thinks. Evidence from the text is in the chapter Bucket and Spectacles Reyna meets Kate and learns much about her through conversations and further experiences.
Direct or Indirect?
I think that Kate developed indirectly. The author tells you what the children learn about her but did not tell you that she was brave and outgoing, you learn that from seeing her do things that could not seem possible and how she loves to talk.
