Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.
One afternoon, after another dreary Sunday, he walked home from Mrs. Cobb's with the sea breeze determined to shove him to Malaga Island. It scooted around him and pulled at his ears. It threw up the dust of the road into his face to turn him around, and when he leaned into it, it suddenly let go and pushed at him from behind, laughing. But with the iron word forbidden tolling like a heavy bell by his ears, Turner would not let himself be brought to Malaga. And so with a last abrupt kick, the sea breeze twisted around and left him. Turner watched it rushing pell-mell down Parker Head and toward the shore. "Go find Lizzie," he whispered.
Based on this excerpt, the reader is able to conclude that Turner feels _______ about his friendship with Lizzie.
conflicted
excited
scared
contented
Answer:
conflicted
Explanation:
The story "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy
," by Gary D. Schmidt, portrays a racial conflict between Phippsburg and Malaga, in which citizens of Malaga Island are put in a mental institution and their homes are destroyed. Since Reverend Buckminster disapproves of his son visiting an unworthy place like Malaga Island, then Turner believes that Lizzie may be using him and his father's influence in order to stay there, instead of trusting her friendship.

<span>Hmmm my very favourite Shakespearian play and I have toured as a techie with this one, so I know it well.
Macbeth is a warm soul, but with ambition. We can all identify with that
one. However, when the witches promise him the kingdom, he is amazed
that he could get that far and discusses it with his beloved Lady. SHE
is the one who manipulates him and changes him.
Inside all of us, we have superstition and ambition. However, he is
gullible too and listens to Lady Macbeth ... although he knows it is
wrong, she convinces him that murdering the king is the right thing to
do. So he does....but panics, that is when we see Lady Mac in her real
light, she covers for him and makes certain the deed cannot be traced
back to him. She is the real villain here although she later looses her
mind due to the weight of what she has done and the fact that she has
lost her soul mate.
In doing all this she convinces her husband that he is wonderful and he
becomes power mad.... nothing can touch him and his atrocities mount,
but there is this nagging guilt that he fights to override at the
detriment of his mental health and this marriage.
Eventually he goes mad with guilt and greed for power....and whilst he
is convinced the witches warning can never come true...he is so sure of
himself, but he gets it wrong.
We all get these things wrong sometimes, we are all talked into things we shouldn’t do, and get it wrong and feel guilty.
Yes, we can all identify and in a strange way sympathize with Macbeth.
He was led astray by the witches and his wife...and then once he
believed them and was controlled by them, he became truly power hungry.
