Author's Note- This is my conflict/resolution piece, to be scored on the reading rubric. Please comment if the conflict is clear!
Massie Block: alpha of The Pretty Committee, polished, rich, and absolutely flawless. Claire: the new girl from Orlando, childish, bangs galore, and living on The Block Estate. Claire constantly wants to fit in with The Pretty Committee, a clique, yet she wishes she could have normal friends, such as Layne. When she makes choices about who she's involved with Claire causes a lot of conflict. But the main conflict in this book is person vs. person.

The person vs.
person conflict is between Massie and Claire, and is continuous through out the
whole book. Although, all of the
conflict starts because Massie is fighting with her parents, about Claire
living with them in the first place. But why would she hate someone she doesn’t
know? . Couldn’t she make friends with
them? Apparently this thought never occurred to her, because from the minute she
met Claire, she was a jerk. Whether she pretended to forget her in the car,
giving her false directions, or painting red splotches on her pants.
You'd think in the
end of the this cliché, mean girls, novel there'd be a clear resolution.
Unfortunately there's not. At the end of the novel, Claire and Massie are left
in a mutual zone (in between friends and enemies). The paint splotches- never
again brought up. The false IMS were forgotten as well. SO I guess in a way
there is a happy, forgiving ending yet in the sequel the battle picks up, once
again.
I would give myself an 8.5 on this piece because I met what a medium proficient student would have. I explained if there was a resolution, and what the main conflict was, although I didn't bring in other text.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely hit the main conflict well. Speak more about the resolution, or lack thereof. Why do conflicts like these end the way they do?
