In the book, Bronx Masquerade, it talks about high school students going through many problems but finding an out by using poetry. By using poetry it helps them express themselves without actually saying their feelings out loud. One of the characters I think have changed the most is Diondra.
In the beginning of the book, Bronx Masquerade, Diondra was judged by her height and most people thought she loved playing sports. Diondra actually was an artist but her father didn't approve. In the book it says, "If I can get into an art school, I'm going." This quote showed that towards the end Diondra started to accept who she wanted to be.
The elements of a story affect Diondra in this book. The conflict affects Diondra, because her father is telling her how he is disappointed in her and how he wishes she was a boy. This affects her because hearing negative things come from her father affect her in a bad way. Diondra thinks that she'll get nowhere by being an artist but I think that the negative comments make her more confident with what she makes.
