the essay is about:

What are Melinda’s internal and external problems, and how does that relate to the central conflict?

_________

i get the internal and external part.

but i have 2 ideas for the central conflict, one is the central conflict is the rape, and the other is the central conflict is melindas isolations from people around her.

i have already started the essay with the rape idea, but i need to know if this is the right idea because i have 2 weeks until school.

any idea on a thesis statement addressi
