After we had come up with 3 characters from these pictures, we had to select 1, and then write a synopsis for the characters plot line of our choice. I chose to pursue Bill Barret.
The Expectation
Bill Barret is the average 20 year old male. Was well known in high school with an underlying love for drama and music. But once he left school, he was only left with 3 true friends. One being his girlfriend, another being his cousin. Now he's stuck working at his dad's mechanics business, with the expectation, of his not so loving, parents to one day take over the family business. Butm is this was he really wants? Will he follow his dream, and fight his fears to become the forever aspired vision of being a Broadway star?
Protagonist - Bill Barret - On a journey to be on Broadway
Antagonist - Parents - Don't want him to do what Bill wants, want him to run the family business
Father - Bill's dad - Decides so support his son on what he wants to do, and gets him an application
Helper - Bill's girlfriend - Always encouraging Bill to do what he wants
Donor - Head teacher of NYADA - Gives him a place at the college
