Conflicts:
Maniac- his main conflict is that he doesn’t have a home. This is an internal one. “Maniac’s lip started to quiver, and right there, with the car idling in the middle of the street, Maniac told him that he didn’t really have a home, unless you counted the deer shed at the zoo.” (pg 43)
Mars Bar- He I sused to being a bully and tries to bully Maniac. He tears a page out of Amanda’s book, which upsets Maniac and Amanda. His conflicts with these characters are external. “As usual, when Mars Bar got confused, he got mad. He thumped Maniac in the chest. ‘You think you bad or somethin’?’” (pg. 35)
Amanda- She is upset that her books keep getting ruined, normally by her siblings. She stands up to Mars Bar and says “I got a little brother and a little sister that crayon all over my books, and I got a dog that eats ehm and poops on them and that’s just inside my own family, and I’m not – gonna have nobody – else messin’ – with my books!” (page 40) This is an external conflict.
John McNab- He was upset that Maniac had hit a ball that he pitched. He wants to beat up Maniac to make up for it. “John McNab had never in his life met a kid he couldn’t strike out. Until the runt.” (page 30) At this point, this conflict is internal – as McNab makes a decision to beat Maniac up. Maniac is not yet aware of this plan, so it can’t be external.
