Let me explain what dynamic and static characters look like and give you a couple examples of each. then you'll be able to answer this question for yourself.
A dynamic character undergoes some kind of significant change in the course of the story. It may be what we call a change of heart, or a moral change. This change does not include a change in physical appearance but in personality, attitude, morality, and the like. An example is Ebenezer Scrooge, who is a mean old miser at the beginning of the story and a kind, generous, loving man at the end. Another example is Edmund in The Chronicles of Narnia.
A static character remains the same at the end of the story as he or she was at the beginning of the story. No matter what happens to these characters, their personalities and attitudes don't change at all. The fact that they don't undergo any kind of change is not necessarily a bad thing. It could be that there is no lesson they need to learn or change to make. In A Christmas Carol, Bob Cratchit is a static character. He remains the same loyal employee to Scrooge from beginning to end.
Now, which kind of character do you think Sammy is?
