Conflicts In Savvy
In the book Savvy, there are few conflicts. In chapter 5, she turns thirteen. When you turn thirteen, you are supposed to receive a savvy. She is really looking forward to turning thirteen. On page 35, it says, "I woke up early on that Saturday morning of my thirteenth birthday and lay still and silent for a long, long while, just waiting. Nothing felt too different yet." This was a conflict because she was expecting to get it right when she got out of bed and notice something. Then, on page 38, it says, "but why had that turtle picked that peculiar, persnickety moment to wake up-thee evermore dawn on the morning of my most important birthday, with me in my nightgown, balancing frosted cereal on my knee? Watching my turtle, I tapped on the glass. Thinking about the turtle and remembering the unusual way Gypsy had woken up as I'd stepped out of bed, a shaky and suspicious feeling started to gnaw down deep in my bones, a feeling that's tuck with me the rest of the morning and continued to grow like a smoke from a grassfire." This shows when she believes that she found her savvy. She believes that she could wake people up when she comes across them. She also woke up her sister while sleeping, so she thinks it's true.
