Help me choose a character (australian history project)

Well i have an assignment for school and i have to write a bunch of crap. anyway thats not important. Its about being a convinct sent to australia in the 1800's. I have 3 choices for characters.

character 1. my character escapes and becomes a bush ranger. he gets caught robbing a bunch of rich people and is sent to high security prison.

Character 2. The hardend criminal dude. Hes in such a ****ty prison and is forced to work in a chain gang. half the people in his cell die from diseases. He tries to escape on day and is caught and gets hanged.

Character 3. The hardworking trustworthy guy. Hes forced to work for some asshole who runs a farm. working conditions are so **** he goes crazy and kills his master and gets hunted down and killed.

Which one do you guys like the most?

Character 1 or 3 because they sound more creative...

3 seems the most creative, but 2 could be a much more emotional and enticing story.

I think you can do much more with character 2. Would make an interesting read.

I laughed when I read 3... that seems to me to be the most interesting one. Though probably a bit more of a challenge. I say 3.

Id like to see how you develop character two.

Try a short draft of all three, it might help too.
