Since the last time I talked about Primrose and David's friendship many events happened. They got into conflicts and went on new adventures. It was around the middle of the book when a new character came along and his name was Josh, he's also kind of important in the story because David and Primrose would go to his house when they would leave David's house at night. They didn't really do much there but eat food and watch some TV. But then one day they all went to Primrose's house and David and her got into an argument. At first when Josh would see them argue a lot he didn't really seem to give much thought to it because they always fought and got into little fights over everything but they always hung around each other either way. David would tell Primrose himself "I don't like you." "Dito" she would say which means "same." Thats what I really didn't understand neither did Josh but somehow they seemed to be best friends no matter what. Until that day at her house where the two ended up getting into an argument because of what show they wanted to watch, except they difference in this fight was it was way more intense and way more hurtful things were said they day too. At first it started off with David wanting to watch something else and Primrose didn't want to watch anything so she turned off the TV and after that they start yelling at each other. In the book it said that Josh and David were talking bad about Primrose's father and since he's not really in the picture she got really upset. It states "The boy was crying. The girl was screaming. "My father is not a bum on the street! Don't ever mention my father again!" The boy screamed back, wet-faced and red: "I hate you and your stupid mother!" "At least my mother's alive!" This showed me that both of them said things that they obviously didn't mean but you could also tell from the tone the author put it in that everything that was said hurt on another. So in order to find out weather or not David and Primrose make up and finally end up admitting that they really are best friends then you have to read Eggs by Jerry Spinelli to find out!
The main conflict in this book is man vs. self because David is struggling since he just lost his mother a couple of years ago and he has to live with his grandmother that is "annoying" to him. Then another big problem he goes through is that his dad isn't really part of the picture because he travels a lot I guess you could say. But in the beginning of the book it says "I don't want to make friends." "Everyone needs friendships." "Not me." It kind of gave me the idea that David wants to be alone but then the more I read I understood that the reason David wants to be alone is because he's probably too scared to let anyone else in his life because he doesn't want to loose anymore people. i can understand how that feels. Sometimes its hard to let people in because the people that were in your life before, either left your life or disappointed you in some way. But the thing about David is that since he ends up meeting Primrose I think he is just going to end up having to except and let her into his life because she also kind of goes through the same problems he does. Primrose also doesn't have her dad in her life and her mother is a different story because she really doesn't pay attention to Primrose.
