What was the major conflict in this story?

Then click on another person's response to the question and comment on their blog.

Do you agree or disagree with their comment? Why?

Suzanne and Maria have been friends since kindergarten and are now juniors at Greenway High School. Suzanne is the star shortstop of the girl's softball team and the head of the athletic clique. Maria is president of the student council and an honor student. Among the "brains", she is definitely at the top. Although the two girls have developed different interests and groups of friends over the years, they have remained very close and always spent a lot of time together.

However, this past weekend Suzanne couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Maria flirting with her boyfriend at the Spring Dance. Word spread quickly, and Suzanne's softball friends all come to comfort her. At the same time, Maria hears that Suzanne is furious with her and can't believe her best friend is spreading horrible rumors about her. By the following Monday morning, the whole student body has picked sides. Tensions rise as the former friends shoot dirty looks and make rude comments to each other. After school the arguing breaks into a huge fight involving over 25 girls!

Suzanne and Maria had been bffs since kindergarten. But they were from two different groups, the "brains" and the athletes but they stayed together, until Suzanne saw Maria hitting on her boy friend and so thats whenever they stop being friends.

the conflict is one person wants to be more special than the other(A.K.A Nationalism).

Marissa Dempsey

16/3/2016 09:32:29 am

The major conflict is that when Maria flirts with Suzanne's boyfriend at the spring dance (she was desperate all she wanted was someone to love her)Suzanne got mad and told everyone spreading rumors about Maria.And a fight broke out somewhere including over 25 girls!!!!

manuel

Caitlynne Grounds

16/3/2016 09:32:45 am

The major conflict is that Maria was flirting with Suzanne's boyfriend and so Suzanne started spreading rumors about Maria so after school a fight broke out involving 25 girls.

Emily ✨Smith✨

If i were Susan than i would have been mad also because I'm sure Maria knows he is Susans boyfriend and shouldn't have done that.

Jaliyah ✨ (Smith)

16/3/2016 09:32:53 am

I think that the conflict started when Suzanne caught Maria flirting w/ her boyfriend & when Suzanne starts spreading rumors a/b Maria. & Maria starts getting her softball buddies involved, when they had nothing to do with it in the first place. Then, the conflict REALLY started when the fight broke out with over 25 girls.

hayleyturnersmith

16/3/2016 09:33:01 am

diego smith

16/3/2016 09:33:32 am

SIMTH Anzlea

16/3/2016 09:33:38 am

i think the major conflict is that Maria was flirting with Suzannna boyfriend at the spring dance. So Suzanna got her softball team to stand up and tell rumors about her so on monday the girl started to argue then it turned in to a fight over 25 girls were involed

alexis smith

16/3/2016 09:33:44 am

I think the conflict of the story is when maria flirts with her friends boyfriend but there shouldt have been a fight over a boy if Suzzans boyfriend was really her boyfriend he would have been flirting too

Abby

16/3/2016 02:06:29 pm

Nikki Mr.McNutt

16/3/2016 11:29:34 am

I think the major conflict is when Maria is just doing that because she is just trying to make people mad

Damion Moore

16/3/2016 01:13:25 pm

16/3/2016 01:25:02 pm

I think the conflict is that, Suzanne and Maria were bff's for a long time Suzanne is an athlete and Maria is the brains.Suzanne saw Maria hitting on her boyfriend so she got made and spread rumors.Then Maria gets mad at Suzanne for spreading rumors and they both get into a fight involving twenty or more other girls.

first of all i think its wrong to have groups you have to be classified in i think we shouldn't care if we like deferent things than each other and we should all be friends but anyways i think the conflict is that the two groups got in a fight because one of the girls was flirting with the other girls bf.

Jake

16/3/2016 02:34:32 pm

I agree there shouldn't be groups where you can get left out.

16/3/2016 02:24:30 pm

The main conflict was that a best friend flirted with her best friend boyfriend and she got mad. However, I believe that this was a dumb thing to do on both Maria's and the boyfriends part, but i also think that Suzanne's reaction may have been a little dramatic
