In this story the gate icon, different perspectives, connects with it because there are many characters and they all view Jake differently because of his background and the way he is. Others also viewed the Applewhites family a different way than Jake did due to the fact that he was a visitor and did not know that family as much as other did. One example that supports my statement is that E.D. thought that her family was not normal because they did not have TV's in every room. This can be proven because on page 38 it says, " Sometimes, especially when her friend Melissa was talking about the cable channels she watched all the time, E.D. wished they were like a normal family, with cable and a TV set in almost every room." This quote shows that E.D thinks that her family is not normal because they do not have T.V's in every room in their house.IN other people point of view they could have thought that having that in your house is completely normal.

In the book, " Surviving the Applewhites".the main characters are E.D., Jake Semple, Sybil Jameson, Cordelia Applewhite, Randolph Applewhite, Destiny Applewhite, and Hal Applewhite. E.D. is the girl that is living with Jake Semple at Wits End and is one of the daughters of Sybil and Randolph. Jake Semple is a boy that does not have good behavior due to the fact that he was kicked out of all the schools in Rhode Island(2). He is taken to the Wits End, the Applewhites family, after his family sees that he can't be admitted to a school without having him get kicked out in less that a month. In the story it says, " She was also the children's mother, but her name wasn't Applewhite, it was Jameson. Sybil Jameson." (12). This proves that Sybil Jameson is the mother of all the Applewhite children, ahe is also married to Randolph. She is a great writer that wrote the wonderful mysteries. Cordelia Applewhite is the oldest daughter of all the Applewhite children and is the girl that Jake sees and make him assure that she is a true girl. Randolph Applewhite is the father of all the Applewhite children and is married to Sybil. He is great director and is working on a play. Destiny Applewhite is the youngest of all the children and is curious, likes to sing, and asks many questions and exploring new things. Hal Applewhite is the eldest of all the children and is an introverted artist and them becsme a sculptor. The dynamic characters in the story are Jake Semple because as he spendes more time with the Applewhite's he changes his way of being. For example he quits smoking after a long time living at Wits End and E.D because she stops worrying about school and decides that she like to sing and act. The static characters are Destiny because she thought that he was cool and throughout the whole story, she did not change that way of being or that thought towards Jake Semple, Randolph is also a static character because he id funny, impatient, and a creative person when h e is first introduced on the story and at the end he is still the same way. This means that throughout the story he was maintained the same.
