Characterization

The main character in my book is Virginia Shreves. She is a static character mostly because she has low self esteem and doesn't make
an effort to change at all. Virginia is round character (literally). Which
means that is very believable and has a real life situations. Some characteristics
that she has are sarcasm, intelligence and has a creative mind. Throughout the
book Virginia makes sarcasm remarks towards her peers, teachers and even her parents. What I mean by intelligence, is that she is very smart as far as looking at life. But sometimes she gets confused by her decisions. Her creativity is a gift that she doesn't really use for some reason. Besides all of that, she is a pretty cool character.

Conflict Of my Book

So far in the book "The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things",
the conflict is person vs. self. The problem is with the main character Virginia, who has issues with her body type. She calls it being "fat" and follows the "Fat Girl Code of Conduct"; which she made up. For right now, her and her "guy friend" are having issues about each others bodies. This is a person vs. person conflict. I predict that they might need to make some serious decision's.
