The development of Theo Fleury

The significance of a character development is very important and Theo Fleury is a great example of both a good and bad character development. THe conflict Theo is faced is making it into a league where he is viewed too small for and seems to have almost everyone against him, and very few people believing him. Somebody by the name Grahm James takes a chance on him in the WHL and tells Theo he'll be able to get him into the NHL. But it came with a price. Theo was being sexually abused by Grahm which i felt developed him badly, introducing him to alcohol, he than became a progressing alcoholic. Away from the sexual abuse, Theo was playing the best hockey he as ever played despite all of the doubt and hate he was facing about his size. He was developing every day, he was the young small hockey player to this hockey player who was setting records, impressing scouts and teams. "Id led the team with 61 goals and 68 assists for 129 points, fifth best in the Western hockey league. This passage showed that he was making his mark in the WHL. But he was partying every night and he was starting to experience with drugs. If it wasn't for Grahm he may not have made it to the WHL than eventually the NHL but he also may have not developed to be an alcoholic or druggy, this goes to show that a character development isn't always good, it can have it's consequences.
