4. An example:
Talon’s actions throughout the novel, Downsiders, show that his main conflict is struggling to find a balance between being curious and loyal to his society. Talon wants to do the right thing, yet he continuously acts impulsively only to regret the decision later. As the novel continues, he finally realizes that he must put the needs of many above his own needs and curious nature. This realization allows Talon to find the balance needed for him to rise to the status of Most Beloved and embrace this role as the ultimate act of loyalty to the Downsiders.
