internal conflicts. After their experiences, their sense of importance in life changes. Both characters face similar conflicts and resolutions, but they also have some differences. Greg’s experiences changed his sense of what is important after meeting Lemon Brown. In the beginning of the story Greg didn’t listen to his father’s lectures and thought nothing of what it meant.
