Why don't you want to do what you know you should do? The reason you don't is that you are in conflict with yourself.
-Tom Hopkins
A). Despite the many denials and shoot-downs from teens, all of us are locked in an internal conflict. I know I myself am in one. I have used this as an idea indirectly in many of my writing pieces. I love stories about mythical and magical worlds, but also about troubled teens leading the sort of lives I feel like I should lead because there's so many people who can't take the difficulties. I feel that I could somewhat handle them better, having an objective outlook on many things.
B). The conflict is between the main character and herself. So Woman vs. Herself. All she had wanted was a simple life and to have simple happiness. Until she finds that her mother is terminally ill, she starts going inward and focusing only on material things so as to not feel her pain to the fullest extent.

II). Woman vs. Herself
III). It turns the typical story of a guy trying to get a girl into a complicated and intricate idea, showing how deeply she feels her emotions and how she fears that they will interfere with her life, so she take great pains to hide it and numb herself from it.
IV). "When Tommy looked at her, tears were streamingfrom her eyes...He didn't know what to do because he had never seen Beth cry before. He watched her as she sniffled from under her scarf and stared out at the empty streets.
"She's dead," she whimpered.
Tommy put his arms around Beth and kissed her cold, wind-burned cheeks and she cried harder...Tommy usherd Beth into his truck and they went to her house. He held her hand tight and led her to her room. She fell into bed without taking off her snowy wet boots..."Tommy, please stay," she whispered.

B). It's traditonal. It starts with Beth being the usual type of girl you could expect, but then things get worse when her mother is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Beth stops caring about her feelings and what she used to want and dream of, becuase she feels that it's all being taken away from her. She starts focusing on fashins and how to make herself more alluring. It becomes her obsession. Tommy eventually sees through her shield and begins to love the girl he knows is there, but can't see plainly. She finally realizes that she can't be the type of person she's trying to impersonate.
C). "That was how Beth had been operating since she moved to North Dakota. Dealing with her problems by running from them and toward the glossy pages of of fashion magazines...Before she moved to the north, she imagined ice-skating with a boy who would have soft kisses and Converse."
