Setting
The Conflicts
When Shymia was working she started having a conflict wondering if she will ever see her family again or even if her family loved her cause they sold her into that life. This confused her and made her fight with herself if those things are true. This was her main conflict because it was always going through her mind during the whole story, and still is during her life now.
Shymia's main society conflict is how people never noticed her (eventually someone did). She could not say anything to them because she did not know any English. This was a problem to her because she would always go out with the captor's kids to watch them and she always wondered, and hoped, that someone would notice her.
