Conflicts, Characters, and Themes
Conflicts:
1) Person vs. person: Sloane and Grace Kelly never got along from the start. Sloane doubted Grace Kelly and said there was no way she could get into a sorority. Grace Kelly gets angry and throws sauce at her. Ever since then, they have been enemies.
2) Person vs. self: Grace Kelly has always been a nerdy girl who only focused on school. Just by taking one look at her you could tell. She struggles with wanting to change and be more outgoing. Once she changed, she never wants to go back.
Characterization:
1) Grace Kelly: Grace Kelly was a geeky girl who devoted all her time to school. You can tell she only cares about school when she says she's never had a sleepover with anyone or a first kiss.
2) Jentry: Grace Kelly's roomate her took Grace Kelly under her wing. You can tell she really cares about Grace Kelly when she offers to give her a makeover and was the first person to ever be nice to her.
Theme: The theme that emerged is that if you really want something, you'll do anything to get it. Grace Kelly lies to get into the sorority and has to do twenty-six things to prove her loyalty to the sisters. A quote that supported this was "Can I really lie my way into the Alphas?"(65).
