Stargirl Conflict, Part 2

This week, you will write a paragraph defending the conflict opposite the one you chose last week. I am still looking for a well-developed paragraph (like we practiced together in class), but if you wrote about man vs. self as the conflict last week, you'll write about man vs. society this week, and vice versa.

If you need to, go back to last week's assignment to refresh your memory.

Stargirl Conflict

In Stargirl, two conflicts keep popping up: man vs. self and man vs. society. For your response this week, select one of the two following statements and defend why you think it is right.

The primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self.
OR
The primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society.

For your response, the statement that you choose should be the topic sentence for your paragraph. To develop your paragraph, give three main reasons why you selected the statement, and use details from the text to support each of your three main reasons.
