Author's Note: This two paragraph analysis is my conflict/resolution piece that talks about the most recent book I have read. In this analysis, look for some sentence transitions.
A recent book that I have read is A Boy No More by Harry Mazer. In
this book, a teenage boy named Adam Pelko lives in Hawaii with his
mother and his little sister, Bea. One day, Adam is out with his friends
in Adam’s boat fishing when they see Pearl Harbor getting bombed. The
bombing forced Adam’s family to move out of Hawaii and found a place in a
town called Bakersfield. But this tragic day, was the least of their
problems, especially for Adam. The biggest conflict in the story was
Adam receiving a letter from a close friend in Hawaii and setting Adam
on an big adventure. The big problem was that Adam had school and he had
a job he had to attend every morning. From Bakersfield to Fresno would
take hours and possibly days. This conflict traveled throughout the
entire book which kept the story real and exciting. In addition to
what’s happening, this conflict affects everybody’s lives and their
jobs. Adam almost loses his job because of the letter, sneaking out of
the house and misses school, his mom had to sometimes stay home from
work just to make sure Adam didn’t sneak out of the house and go to
Fresno. His sister still went to school but asked where her brother
went. Adam’s family hit a little bump and it almost tore Adam’s family
apart.
There
were many ways that this conflict could be solved. One, Adam’s mom
could drive him to Fresno and Adam could deliver the letter and drive
back home together. Second, Adam could have just delivered the letter
through mail to Davi’s dad. And lastly, Adam could have just wrote back
and said something like, “I’m sorry but I am not able to deliver the
message.” In the book, the way that Adam and his family solved the
problem was letting Adam go on his adventure to deliver the letter, but
work extra hours at work. That is probably the best way to solve a
problem is to figure it out as a family. Adam and his mom solved their
conflict. At the end of the book, Adam delivered the letter and Davi
reconnected with his family. Always talk your problems out with your
family and every solution can be solved the right way, just like Adam
did with his family. They compromised and solved the issue.
