Camille is a flat and static character. She doesn't really tell you how she's feeling and the narrator doesn't really tell us how she feels like if she's depressed or stressed out. They give very little detail of whats going on in her mind. So, you don't really know what she's thinking or how she is really feeling.

CeeCee's dad is a flat and static character. He doesn't do much and the narrator never told us how he felt either. We couldn't know what was going on in his mind and know what he's thinking. He doesn't do much in the book to know what he's like other than just going home, drinking beer, and leaving the house every night.
