Do you think people can change? In Hunt for the Wilderpeople Ricky Baker proves they can.

In the movie Hunt For The Wilderpeople Ricky Baker is a dynamic

character. Three reasons to this is he used to not like Hector but learned to like him,

also he was a bad kid but then turned nice, finally he used to not like rural areas but

started enjoying them.

RIcky learned to like the outdoors.. Ricky used to not like the outdoors and rural

areas. But when he was told he had to leave because the farm was an unsuitable

environment for him because Bella died he ran away into the woods with his dog Tupac.

Since Ricky didnt know the area he got lost and Hector came and found him. Then

Ricky and Hector were on the news because the child services people thought Hector

had kidnapped Ricky. They were runaways for 4-6 months before they got caught. This

example shows that Ricky used to not like rural areas but started to enjoy them because

Ricky would rather run away and get lost in the woods then to go back to the city.

In addition Ricky used to not like Hector but learned to like him. In the beginning

on Rickys birthday Hector didnt sing to Ricky and ignored him or didnt respond to him

but when Ricky ran away Hector came looking for him and helped him survive. The fact

that Hector came looking for him made Ricky appreciate Hector because he didnt let

Ricky die in the woods. Also Hector started talking to Ricky and Ricky taught Hector

how to read.

Lastly Ricky was a bad kid then turned good. Before Ricky went to live on the

farm he would graffiti and break things so they had Ricky go live in the woods where

there wasnt many people around and if he didnt he would go to juvie. Because Ricky

didnt want to go to juvie he started behaving better and wanted to get involved in

things. He also ran away and saved a diabetic ranger but was still being chased.
In the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople the character Ricky Baker shows people can

change in many different ways. So in conclusion Ricky Baker is not a dynamic character

in Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
