    Summary

    When he was a child, Todd Anderson dreamed of leaving small-town Connecticut behind and making it on his own in the big city. The small-town gossip and the hum of cicadas would fade into the privilege of anonymity, replaced by the sounds of sirens and traffic—signs of life. There would be no more late-night drives to sit in a parking lot, staring at streetlights. No more comparisons to his older brother—the youngest financial director in the history of Miller Davis Insurance, as his parents constantly reminded him. What Todd didn’t factor into his dreams, however, was what to do once he got to the city—New York City, in this case. Leaving his parents’ house had been an impulsive decision, spurred by yet another argument about career goals and how his brother actually made them proud.
    --
    Basically Todd runs away to NYC on a whim and shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    Once Neil gets to about page 6 when looking over his play, he feels his eyebrows furrow. Now, obviously since the play was about the Poets as a whole, there wasn’t really a main character. There would be a more prominent character in each given scene, but Neil made sure to avoid making himself the one who narrated and directed the entire story.

    But once he was about halfway through rereading what he had so far, he realized that every character more or less revolved around one Poet in particular. Every scene managed to include the character, there were always in-depth descriptions of what he and his facial expressions looked like, and everyone either went to him for help or obviously valued his opinion highly.

    Neil had named the character William, and he was realizing now that he had included a surprising amount of descriptions about this character’s blond hair, blue eyes, and unassuming but devout personality.

    Oh shit, Neil thinks to himself, I accidentally made Todd the main character.

    Or in which it's 1960, the Poets' senior year at Welton, and Neil's writing a secret play, his magnum opus, but there's just one problem: Todd keeps getting in the way.
