    major conflicts that Jeanette experiences as an adult and as a child is that she got no attention, she had to do things her own way like cook, also she has gotten hurt through out this book an never really got help. She also had to experience her dad always being drunk an her mom being independent and being selfish. She rarely had no one to talk to or play with. her sisters were never around, they were always somewhere were shes not.

  5. The major conflicts that Jeanette experience as an adult and as a child was that her mother didn't care about her as much she let her 3 year old cook hot dogs.She got burned caught on fire and had to go threw so much stuff when it didn't even have to that way.One internal thing about Jeanette she remember everything from when she was little from the heart she probably is really hurt what her mother didn't do.One external was when she got burned like really bad that every time you would look at ya mother you well think of that time.

  6. The major conflicts that jennet faces are because of her parents when she was a child. Her parents were away running from something and she learned off of that. When she was an adult she saw her mom by a dumpster then she decided to run back to her home and I think that she realized that what her parents have been doing was the wrong thing to do. She was traumatized by her Father and that stuck with her through her adult life. Her mother was the one keeping her innocence.

  7. One major conflict Jeanette experiences as and adult is when she see's he mother going through a dumpster while she was in a taxi going to a party. This is mam vs. man because Jeanette shes her mother and ducks down in the taxi trying to avoid her mother seeing her and tells the taxi driver to turn around and bring her home. One conflict Jeanette faces while shes a child is when she is cooking the hot dogs. This is man vs. nature because fire is a part of nature and she was on fire and the flames were smothered and she was taken to the hospital. Her father said "She fought fire once and won". Another conflict she faced as a child was when her and her family had to leave their house in the middle of the night. This is man vs. society. The bill collectors are trying to find them so they could pay their bills but they don't have money but when they do the dad buys liquor and waste it all.

  8. Jeanette had to go through third degree burns when she was burned as she was cooking hot dogs. When she was an adult she had guilt because she was living in a house at park place and her mom was on the streets. Jeanette's parents didn't treat her like the parents should.
