excruciatingly violent. As is the case for many other literary classics, the presentation of conflict is much more gritty and realistic, fully exploiting the violence and cruelty of the real world to the readers, which can make it extremely surprising and almost jarring in today’s age. In The Perks of Being a Wallflower, we learn that our protagonist Charlie was molested. We learn about the character who molested Charlie and the deep psychological trauma of a person that can cause them to take advantage of innocent people to release their mixed emotions in such a deep, straightforward way that is a step back from the violent injustice in Mockingbird, but is just as shocking and effective to the reader. Finally, in Paper Towns, the conflict is presented very simply. In a quest for revenge on their high school enemies, Margo Roth Spiegelman, the main source of conflict in this novel, tells our main protagonist Quentin that “Tonight, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights.” (Green 30) This simple invitation to vengeance that begins this long story of similar conflicts is very lighthearted, and in the same manner of our generation. These distinctive conflicts make most mainstream fiction easier to read and accessible to a wide range of audiences, and so Paper Towns can be a very compelling novel to read in our wild new technology-infused world. In this way, the presentation of conflict can drastically impact the mindset of the reader while reading the novel.
The language and grammar has changed so drastically over the ages and so have the meaning of words, affected by what is happening in the societal and political front, which can change drastically through the ages. In a coming-of-age story, this can be very important because the slang and the language of our characters are the voices that drive the entire story. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee used descriptive, rich language to describe the town of Maycomb, Alabama and its people. She used local slang that would have been used in at that time and used adjectives describing characters and settings that belonged to the period but also showed the reader exactly how the characters that inhabited this town viewed them. “Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courtyard sagged in the square,” (Lee 5) our protagonist Scout comments at the beginning of the novel. These descriptions are old-fashioned, developing the setting magnificently, but again, this could be hard for the reader to connect with since this is an unfamiliar setting. In The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the grammar and language used is very intimate and personal. Charlie begins the novel with “I am writing to you because she said you would listen and understand and didn’t try to sleep with that perso
