Character in Time


This portrait is one of the famous jazz musician (trumpet player) Miles Davis. His beautiful music had innovated both the culture and general play of jazz music, and inspired the music that we listen today. In my story, this character represents the emotional distress that he is dealing with at the moment. As a child, he lived in a time of poverty and struggle to get through the day. His emotional engagement to better the world through his gift of music has harped on his mind on a consistent basis. His troubled past conflicts with his present, so he tries to break through, but he is constantly reminded of it through his experiences through music. He does his best to achieve happiness by pleasing others with his innocent, inspiring music. Flashbacks play a key factor in his because it conveys his personal past that reveals why he is so disturbed in the present. Time can be manipulated in multiple ways to amplify the meaning behind the peace: perhaps time can be sped up as he observes to reflect on his personal views on life. Contrarily, time can be slowed down to suggest importance on a particular moment that is crucial to the plot and how it can deeply effect the character.
