Conflicts
Character vs. Character~
One of his conflict situations was character vs. character because growing up, he didn't have a father figure and his mom was a drug addict. Also the kids at school bullied him.
Character vs. Self~
His other conflict situation was Character vs. Self because with the kids bullying him and no one to tell, he kept a lot of his anger inside, just building up.
His resolutions for the conflicts was, using his love for English and built up anger to start a Hip-Hop career that would make him a 'Rap God' and an artist that will be remembered for many years to come.

Memorable Quote and Life Theme
I think this quote goes with Eminem's life theme because he could have given into the life his mother had and went down a horrible path, but instead he made something out of his life and showed anyone that they can do anything.
Life Theme- don't give up, keep going until you get to where you want to be
