Authors Note- This si a conflict and resouloutin piece on the books "My Sweet Memories" by Rebecca Muckers and the book "Run baby Run" by Tesha Trevors.
Its amazing how you will have something on day and loose it
the next. Rebecca Muckers – knows this all to well. She is a character from the
book “My Sweet Memories “ by Ronda Rojoreson. Rebecca know that when you are in the wrong place
at the wrong time , you lives can fade and even memories will change. Rebecca was kidnapped at the age of 15,
escaped at age 20. Coming back to her house she didn’t even feel safe. She has a conflict towards herself, not even
being comfortable in her own skin. This is the conflict for the book.
One of the reasons this is a self vs. self conflict is because she starts to make up
things in her mind. Things that are bad and
not good for her to think. She thinks that there are people after her,
looking for her. Because of this she
feels like she is almost living a nightmare. Another reason is because her own parent don’t
care for her. They aren’t there to comfort her when she is down in the dumps. That is why is it a self vs. self conflict.
While the conflict in the book is very drastic, there is a
even stronger message that goes along with the resolution. The story was resolved
when the men that took her before came back for her. She escaped their grasp
and stood up for herself. What makes
things neat is when Rodney- Her old best
friend that had no idea finds where she had been and takes her in. This resolves
the story, she is no longer alone. Overall the message of the story is to “never
judge someone , you don’t know what they have been through. “
Another book is “Run baby Run” by Tesha Trevers . The story line is almost
the same but the main character is Garret , a boy. We all know that this book is a self vs. self
conflict. He is judged by the way he walks , talks and sometimes even the way
he stands. This book relates to “My Sweet Memories” due to the fact they are judged unfairly. Don’t
judge someone if you don’t know their journey in life.
