More character work.

I have decided that I dont want Micke to be scared of Jonny anymore. We have completed a read through of the play and I feel that the way i pictured the character in the beggining doesnt fit well in the script. I still want Micke to feel awkward and guilty about what he is doing to Oskar but instead of being afrain Jonny will bully him as well I have decided that Micke is now scared of Jonny's older brother Jimmy.

I picture the town that the play is set in to be quite small and that all the children, such as Jimmy and Micke all know each others whole family. Because Micke and Jonny have probably known each other for years, Micke is going to know exactly what Jimmy is capable of. Because of this Micke is actually scared of Jimmy and doesnt want to do anything that Jimmy might not like.

For the background of my character I have decided that Mickes mum isnt around anymore and he lives with his dad. When growing up Micke and Oskar were very close friends. This is shown by him asking Oskar about a summer camp. This shows that they have a history and used to be very gold friends but because Micke was oskars friend he used to be bullied. This was before he met Jonny. Micke eventually noticed that they were only bullying him because he was friends with Oskar. So he took his dad advice and also started to call Oskar names. This got the attention of Jonny who befriended Micke and made sure no ine bullies him anymore. This has caused Micke to look up to Jonny a little. That was until Micke met Jimmy. Micke soon realised that Jonny wasnt even bad compared to how messed up Jimmy was. Micke became afraid of Jimmy and tries eveything to make sure Jimmy likes him. For example at the end of the play when Micke says 'he squells like a pig.' Micke says this to show Jimmy that he is capable of being a bully and that he isnt going to chicken out and try to stop them.
