Dynamic Bobby Jorgenson

Throughout this book, O'Brien introduces many characters to the plot of the story. Some the audience gets to know pretty well, and others exit the plot just as soon as they enter. However, one character - Bobby Jorgenson isn't really introduced to the audience with what he did do, but what he didn't do. The only reason the audience knows of this man is his lack of skill sets to take care of injured soldiers (such as Tim who suffered from shock due to his lack of experience on the battle field). However, after he and his gang come to the base where Tim is stationed, the audience learns that this same man who caused Tim to have to rub antibacterial ointment all over his back side, also saved another man - Morty Phillips. Over the course of the couple months that Tim had left the group, this medic had transformed into a seasoned professional in his line of duty. Because of this transformation, Bobby Jorgenson qualifies as a dynamic character.
