Concept 49 #3

Sam- He is a very flat character but he has a dark background. His parents always fought and he grew up with an alcoholic father. He grew up in a rough neighborhood and he himself grew up to be a drunk. He loves his best friend Albert but refuses to listen to him when it comes to drinking.

The fact that he grew up as an alcoholic isn't as critical to the plot as him not listening to Albert. The reason Albert feels bad is because he didn't stop his friend from dying.

Albert- He has an anger issue due to his past. He grew up with his father who always yelled at him and didn't take him seriously. He developed at sarcastic very cynical behavior to be recognized and listened. He also grew up in a rough neighborhood that made him a strong character. The fact that he was poor isn't that relevant to the plot but the fact that he is careless and cynical develops him as a leading character. He has to learn how to grow up and take life seriously.

Jenny- She is very calm and hardheaded. She lived with her mom most of her life but ran away because her step father was abusive. She lived in a rough neighborhood with her best friend and she grew to b independent and intolerable to a mans abusive nature. The fact that she is intolerable to Albert's nature drives him to change there fore propelling the story forward. The fact that she is calm is not crucial to the plot.
