Answer my brain isnt working at the moment and it's due in 30 mins. in at least 150 words, explain how the narrator alludes to the conflict in the introduction of the short story "sixteen."(the author is daly) use details from the passage to support your response.

Explanation:

The conflict of the story in the introduction occurs when the narrator insists that she is not dumb. She keeps up with the style trends, and, life as a whole. She also defends herself by saying she can think rationally. However, we realize that some of this that she has said in the intro is not exactly true. When she sees the boy, she is in love. With this love at first sight, she imagines that the boy is interested in dating her when he says he'll call. However, after a week has passed and he still hasn't called, the narration realizes how naive and immature she has been. She also realizes that she didn't think rationally when she thought he was just as in love with her as she was with him which she realizes isn't true. The conflict is that she thought she was more mature than she really is. Based on the way the narrator talks, we don't really think she is mature, which is an allusion to conflict.
