  4. Conflict • The conflict in the story is MANvSELF and MANvSOCIETY because Brodie confronts himself and asks if he should tell the truth or keep telling lies to everyone in town. He faces society because of all the pressure he is getting from the news cast and the press he is about to break under pressure.

  5. Summary of Plot • Brodie planned to ruin Pauline and Otis time together by pushing them into the pond, but his planned backfired and instead they fell into the raging river. Brodie attempts to save them but in the end fails to do so. His cousin Alex lies to everybody about how everything happened.

  6. Theme • “you have to tell the truth.” says Hannah to Brodie. • “Brodie finds a towel and a flip flop and a note on his door that says the truth.” • “The cops tell everyone that they found Otis body trapped in some weeds next to the riverbank.” • “The cop tells Brodie that you have to tell me exactly everything that happened.”

  7. Point of View The point of view in this story is in first person. If the story was not told in first person you would have not of known the stress Brodie was going through. You read the book through Brodie’s mind and eyes

  8. Symbolism • The one time there was symbolism in this book was when the town floated a boat full of flowers out into the pond to show that they loved those children and wished they hadn’t died.

  9. Recommendation • This book is worth reading because it teaches you a lesson about lying. A child in the book lied and then the town loved him until he told the truth.
