Quote Analysis from Chapter 5 “My mom is the nicest lady in the world. She should’ve been married to a millionaire, not to some jerk like Gabe.” What external conflict exists between Gabe and Percy? Why can’t Percy understand his mom’s reasoning for staying with him? If it was up to Percy, what would his mom do and why? “I felt angry at my father. Maybe it was stupid, but I resented him for going on that ocean voyage, for not having the guts to marry my mom.

If so, is it an internal conflict, external conflict, or both? Explain your reasoning.
