The person I get into the most conflict in my life is my best friend Kierra.
The one word which adequately describes how I behave in such situations is <u>frustration.</u>
The reason is that Kierra is very opinionated and is a terrible listener. She almost never says "sorry" and in many cases always starts the argument/conflict.
The one word which describes Kierra at such times is self-absorbed.
The reason is, Kierra likes to win. So she, during an argument/conflict only listens to reply. I think that she finds it difficult to put herself in another's shoes.
No way. Kierra would never agree with the words. This is because she would rather protect her self-image rather than apologize. An apology would mean she did something wrong. If she did something wrong then her interpretation of it is that she is less than perfect.
It allows readers their own vantage point, their own seat high above the chaos and cruelty of the novel. the characters fall further and further into madness, but you never do. You get to see the boys for what they truly are: scared little kids left without adult supervision for far too long..
