Prompt: Describe Major conflict.
I think the major conflict was Capricorn trying to get used to the real world. That's pretty much what the whole book revolves around. In the beginning he was wearing different clothing that the other students found weird so they picked on him. When Zack and his goons started messing with Cap he was taking it seriously. Then he started doing Tai Chi on the lawn, Sophie (the daughter of the social worker who took Cap in) doused him in water so he started doing it further away. He didn't know how checks worked so he continued to spend the school's money on charities.
Another conflict is Sophie and her dad. Not really talking about in the book, like thinking ahead. What's going to happen? In the book he remained to be the father who came and went. He got her hopes up and then he just left "breaking" her, as said in the book. So when or if he comes back I'm making the inference that they start fighting. Maybe Sophie brings up how he lied and he counters with he just wanted her to be happy. I don't know, but there may be drama.
The climax/turning point conflict was when Hugh and Zack teamed up against Cap. He became popular and loved, which neither of them liked or wanted. Hugh dressed him up in the opposing school's football team uniform. This is when Darryl gets more developed. He feels bad and decides to stop being one of Zack's goons. He's like, "This is whack yo!" then Zack's all like "No man you're whack" then Darryl attempted to punch Zack and mistakingly hit Capricorn. Where later he went back to Garland with Rain. Which then unfolded a lot of conflict from Capricorn's past actions *cough* checks *cough*.

Great blog! You did a great job describing the main conflicts. Also I like how you made a prediction in the second paragraph.
ReplyDeleteGreat job discussing the conflicts. Please shy away from spoilers. Also, let's focus on other topics besides conflict in the near future.
