Character Development Assignment

Back story:
Jeff- this is the name he uses on Earth. Jeff is an alien from a planet located far away from Earth in the outer space, which has a very nice natural environment, and high technology, but also with high unemployment rate. Jeff was forced to move to Earth because he cannot make a living for himself on his home planet. And the Earth is the only other planet which he can be fit in since Jeff just looks almost the same as a human being. But on Earth, Jeff still feels frustrated and defeated in finding jobs. People don't hire him because of his ugly and fierce face. On the other hand, actually, Jeff is very gentle and kind-hearted; he loves the nature and cares for animals; also he can cook very well.

Toll Booth:
Jeff is driving his car and heading to another city for another job interview. And then Jeff was stuck with this automated tollbooth here since he doesn’t have any money for passing through. Now Jeff feels nervous, and he is afraid that he may miss the interview. ‘This is too bad!’ Jeff thinks this will be the last chance that he can get a job after failed to interview so many times. If he still can’t make it for this time, he is going to move back to his home planet. Jeff jumps out of his car and looks around, worried, asking for help but no one helps, someone even scared by Jeff’s face. Jeff feels disappointed and hopeless; however, he is not giving up yet, he starts selling sandwiches using the food he has in car. Maybe because those sandwiches are made from Jeff’s hometown recipe, they look so amazing and smell so yummy that attracted to the people who drives by. There are so many people come to buy, and Jeff can’t even stop making these sandwiches. After they are all sold out, the interview should have already ended long ago, although now Jeff has enough money for the toll. But for now, there is only one thought in Jeff’s mind, ‘Why did I so care about finding a job? Now I am starting a business already!’
