I definitely believe that Sylvia is a dynamic character because of how the way she starts looking at the world changes due to her lesson about “real money.” She takes all of the kids to town and they see things in the window, most notably the toy boat that costs “on thousand one hundred ninety-five dollars”(25).  Now showing a new side of herself, Sylvia asks “What i want to know is, is how much a real boat costs? I figure a thousand’d get you a yacht any day,” and this just shows how very ignorant she was to how the real world worked and how much she is starting to realize about how it works. Then she finally figures out how she is placed in the world, instead of being oblivious to it, with her feeling shameful to go into a toy store because she finally realized that she need not go into it because she doesnt have the money to buy the things that she would want.
