Character Development Assignment

Harry's backstory

Harry is a barber and owner of Sharpe's Barbershop. He inherited the barbershop from his father since he was 20. His father was strict and stressed him to be perfect with every customer. Not only did Harry inherit the barbershop, he also inherited his father's short tempered personality. Throughout his career he's taken back trophies from the national hair cutters competitions. Alphonso's barbershop is one of the few remaining barbershops in Portland. He has an intense hatred of insects since he was bitten by mosquitoes while he was a little kid.  Harry also likes to try out different kinds of cologne.

Toll Booth Story

Harry is approaching the toll booth and searches his wallet for the toll. As he realizes that he is short on change, his car plows right through the gate. Harry starts cursing at his clumsiness and has flashbacks about his strict father stressing over how perfect Harry needs to be. He stops his car to clean up the mess he has caused and is about to call the authorities until he notices mosquitoes around him. Instead of dialing the number, Harry freaks out and tries to swat at all the bugs around him. Harry forgets about calling the authorities about his accident and instead, drives away to avoid the insects.
