Conflict and Resolution


Author's note: This is a piece of writing based on the book Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot. I talked about one of the main conflicts in this book and how the main character resolved this conflict.

Pants on Fire is a fiction book by Meg Cabot. It’s all about the life of a teenager so there must be conflict, right? Well there is. There are several conflicts in this book. One of the main ones that is mentioned throughout the entire book, is a problem that the main character, Katie is facing. It’s not a regular problem that involves others, but more of a self vs. self problem. Katie doesn’t know how to make herself happy. She’s constantly fighting with herself to decide how to be the happy person that she once was. The question asked during this book, is how can she beat the odds and be happy again?

Finding the answer to this question wasn’t easy for Katie. What it came down to, was Katie just had to reflect on what made her happy in the past. This helped her focus on what would make her happy in the long run. With the help of her heart, Katie made the decision, therefore ending the conflict within herself.
