The main character in the book Number the Stars is Annemarie. Her personality is definitely static in this story as she tries to be brave. Although "[It] is much easier to be brave if you do not know everything…" Uncle Henrik said. Annemarie follows this quote in the turning point of the story.
Could you imagine traveling at dusk through a creepy woods to deliver a package that could save the life of your friend? That is what bravery is, and that is what Annemarie had to do. Not to mention the German soldiers who stopped her in between. But not knowing what was in the package made it easier to be brave, just like Uncle Henrik said. These actions saved the Rosen's and the rest of the Jew's that Henrik was trying to rescue because Annemarie delivered the special package to them.
Another character who is extremely brave is Katniss from The Hunger Games. If she would have given up in the arena, she would have died and (unlike what happened in the end of the series) the capitol would still be in total control of the districts.
As you can see, being brave is not only the theme of the story in Number the Stars, but also the personality of Annemarie. It takes more than just guts to be brave. You must always stand for what you believe in and have good courage. Annemarie and Katniss show a static personality can be helpful in each of their stories.
