I’m writing something for English and it’s like Alex and Connor in the Great Depression

Alex as Jack Kelly

Where does it say you gotta live and die here? Where does it say a guy can't catch a break? Why should you only take what you're given? Why should you spend your whole life living trapped where there ain't no future Even at 17! Breaking your back for someone else's sake! If the life don't seem to suit you, how about a change of scene? Far from the lousy headlines, and the deadlines in between.

“Because I love you!” Alex pauses a moment, looking away, before lowering his voice, “I’ve done a lot of shit in my years, Connor. You are my family, and I don’t want to lose you. Nothing has ever made me happier than you.”

I think I may have talked about this before, yeah.

Alex is very much Jack Kelly. He’s reckless. Has creativity that can build worlds beyond our own. Has emotions and strength but just doesn’t know how to channel them. Would do anything for the ones he cares about.

Connor is very book smart. He knows a lot of fancy words that Alex would only know through Shakespeare. He’s calm, kind, and knows how to keep a level head. If he has any worries he’s good at keeping them tucked away for the sake of others he cares for.

They’re nearly polar opposites, but that’s why they work.
