2. Is Torres a static or a dynamic character? Justify your selection with evidence from the story.

the barber

He is not dynamic in a positive manner because he murders people in inhumane ways, but he ahs his supporters who cheer him on.  He is a little larger than life which the reader derives from the barber's description.  Although in the story he merely sits back and is shaved, the reader is aware that he is a man to be deeply feared.  I the end when he reveals to the barber that he knew all along that the barber would not kill him and that he knew who he was, he really jumps out at the reader and his presence is well known and felt.

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
