Confusing Conflicts

                 A part that is confusing to me in the book Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell is why Eleanor won't confess to the way that her life is at home. Her step-father is an abusive alcoholic. Eleanor explains in the book that she hates the way she lives at home but then she decides not to say anything about it. She also always says how she's gotten the urge to report her father after he would do terrible things to the mother but she never did it. There really was nobody stopping her because even if she didn't have a way to contact the police from her home, she could've easily found someone that did. I think that this is important though because it kind of shows the situations that kids have. They don't know how to help themselves in this situation like Eleanor and I think that it's important for kids to know exactly what to do in these situations.
