Why Your Story Needs Flat Character Arcs

By Chris Babcock, Student Contributor

If you’ve ever read The Lord of the Rings, imagine a Sam Gamgee who starts out selfish, petty, and cowardly. Then, over the course of the trilogy, he becomes self-sacrificing, noble, and courageous.

“Always give your reader credit for being smart enough to figure out what you want to say.”
Daniel Schwabauer

“It takes an enormous amount of work to complete a novel, and each of the students who completed the course has accomplished something many people only dream about.”
Daniel Schwabauer

“Every fictional character is real, they just inherit a different world.”
Daniel Schwabauer

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”
C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
