Identify and Sort

The book i choose to right on is The absolutely true diary of a part time indian. The five main elements in my book were Conflict, Setting, Conclusion, Character and Suspense.
1.Conflict
2.Suspense
3.Character
4.Conclusion
5.Setting
To me for my book conflict is the most important element in this story. During the story Junior and Rowdy are friends for the wholoe first half of the book but then once Junior decides to change schools so he can become more succesful his reservation camp rebels against him beating him up and making fun of him for leaving the reserve. Rowdy himself gets angry at Junior and Junior trys to be nice and ask if he wants to go also but Rowdy takes it the wrong way and punches Junior so they break up as friends.
"You'll be the first one to ever leave the rez this way," Mom said. "The indians around here are going to be angry with you." (Sherman Alexie, Pg 47)
The significance to this quotation from the book is that he knows the indians will be upset with him but he still goes through with his dream.
