Speak Summary and How Can Conflict Affect The Character?

In my book club group I am reading The book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is a freshman girl name Melinda Sordino who is going through a bumpy rode at her freshman year in High School. She is a total outcast. She stays at the janitor closet during lunch and gym. To avoid the embarassment. She has low self of steem. She loses her best friend Rachel. However she was not always an outcast until the Summer when she called the cops on a party and many of her friends and her friends family and relatives got arrested. She has only 1 friend name Heather. However she is not as close as Heather only to use her as a "friend". I have 1 small prediction. That is that she is going to lose Heather and find out something happened to her during the party.

Conflict can affect a character. It could be Man vs Man, Man vs Society and Man vs Nature. Man vs Man is when the main character has problems with another person (antagonist). Man vs Society is when the main character has problems with more people (society). Last but not least Man vs Nature. When the main character has problem with nature. In my story the main character Melinda Sordino is going through Man vs Society. She has issues with a large body of people. It happened to her during Kyle Rodgers party. This shows how conflict can affect a character. One little conflict can change a characters how act and emotion.

This week with my book club I read how she spended Thanksgiving with her family, how they had an argument. She also asked her best friend Rachel for a math problem. I read how this girl came up to Melinda and told us how she called the cops on the Kyle Rodgers party. She felt so nervous she could not even talk.
