Read the excerpt from Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster
Boy:
Which best states how Turner's internal conflict is
connected to the setting?
O Turner feels stifled in the town but free in the open air
of the beach.
O Turner feels used to the town but unsure of himself on
the beach.
He spread his arms wide against the ocean sounds: the
rush of the waves, the manic giggles of the gulls, the
sighing of the sea breeze against the granite. He put his
back to all of Phippsburg-Lord, to the entire continent-
till with a shrug he sloughed off its heavy stillness and
looked for a way to climb down to the water. ... [F]inally
he was down on the beach, breathing hard and deep, like
something that was only just coming alive and drinking in
the liquid air for the first delicious time.
0 Turner feels there is a lot to do in the town but not
much to do at the beach.
Turner feels criticized by people in the town but
criticized by God at the beach.
