Seventh Grade Vs. The Melting Pot

In class, we read two stories. The first one, “Seventh Grade”, the main conflict is internal. Meaning it takes place inside your mind or body. Victor, the main character, has a crush and every time he is near her he seems to always say something dumb. The second one, “The Melting Pot”, main conflicts are external and towards different groups of people. Anna, the main character, lives in a neighborhood that is ethnically diverse. Some of the people are new comers and the rest are old timers. Ann is one of both because she has lived there for a long time, yet she is the daughter of an immigrant.

In “Seventh Grade” I think there can be a winner. Victor can look up clever phrases to say to his crush. Or he can just buck up and ask her out on a date. But most likely, he’ll just be stuck in the friend zone. There is also a loser in it because if he asks her out and she says no, he’s lost. I don’t think there is a winner in “Melting Pot”. I guess there could be, but most realistically, those people aren’t going to get along. Not unless something very bad happened to their street, like a tornado. I do however think there is a loser, because by not getting along and repairing their streets that they all love, they’re all losing.
