I understand the \u201cdivide of beliefs\/ideas within oneself\u201d is a huge connection in the content we have seen so far. More specifically, the conflict a character experiences with their own ideas when faced with traumatic events and backlash from others.

Mickeybo and Mojo friendships begin to unravel and this demonstrates this divide within the individual\u2019s ideas\/beliefs.

Mickeybo has now developed a conflicting view of his friend and is now more involved with the tension of his society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
