Question

Teresa asked him if he would help her with her French. “Sure, anytime,” Victor said. “I won’t be bothering you, will I?” “Oh no, I like being bothered.” “Bonjour,” Teresa said, leaving him outside her next class. She smiled and pushed wisps of hair from her face. “Yeah, right, bonjour,” Victor said. He turned and headed to his class. The rosebushes of shame on his face became bouquets of love. Teresa is a great girl, he thought. And Mr. Bueller is a good guy. He raced to metal shop. After metal shop there was biology, and after biology a long sprint to the public library, where he checked out three French textbooks. He was going to like seventh grade. —“Seventh Grade,” Gary Soto Review the ending to “Seventh Grade.” Is Victor’s conflict completely resolved? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Victor's conflict isn't fully resolved unless he studies and learns French. He only spoke a little in class to impress Teresa. If he doesn't study, then later on Teresa might find out Victor does not know French.

(I'm so sorry if it's wrong)

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

If Victor knows French then yes there is not conflict unless you count his crush as one, but if he doesn't know French then the conflict is still there because he still has to help Teresa on knowledge he doesn't know himself.
