How do events in a story shape a character?

it honestly depends. if a character goes through a series of tragedies, they might become depressed, etc. if a character wins the lottery, money may shape them into a snob, etc.

events in a story help shape a character by using tragedies to help the character development or some other way but without events in a story the character would never change

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.

the correct answer is video games and fast food.

hope this (:
