Revise/Edit Curtis:
Before his break-up, Curtis was self-absorbed with his body image, conceited,
the center-of-attention, cocky, arrogant, he took things and people for granted,
living in the moment.

After his break-up Curtis becomes selfless, goal-oriented, and resourceful,
shifting all his effort and attention to winning back the heart of ex-girlfriend,
who is looking to the future with hopes of establishing a family.  

Themes: sometimes we don’t realize all the good we have in our lives until we
permanently loose it, then you look at things differently, and appreciate, respect,
and care more; we need to be resourceful and show out-of-the-box thinking
(besides working hard) to reach a desired goal; life is about being selfless
not always selfish.

Curtis strikes a deal with Royce; in exchange for protecting his tomato plants
during the night, Curtis provides him with a sleeping bag, private corner in
garden, and food; this shows his resourcefulness.

Nora is Mr Myles personal nurse, as he suffered a stroke and is in a wheelchair.
She is helpful, caring, and selfless by helping him to get actively involved in the
Gibb Street Garden.
Nora helps him to remember and reconnect with his mother's garden from
many years past.

Nora is educated and cultured because she compares the garden to:
-a "miniature city"
-a "soap opera"
-a "cure for the mad" (emotional & mental therapy)
-Pioneers/Pilgrims colonizing land

Theme: Nora encourages Mr Myles & us to live life to the fullest; we can't vegetate
or remain stagnant; we must have a life purpose, goals, and grow to our
full potential. She says "his eyes gained back some of their life" when he smelled
and touched the garden.
