“I lived with my mom in East Trawley. Missouri until I was seventeen” Pg. 3

“I have now been the Queen of England for almost 15 years…” Pg. 323 In all of these examples, Becky is in the story using "my" and "I".

“Tom Kelly was the most cruel and spiteful creature who’d ever lived”  Pg. 265

“First and foremost I blamed myself, because I’d said yes to Tom Kelly’s proposal and I’d worn the dresses, and even if I’d never trusted him, I’d done everything Tom had commanded” Pg.230
These quotes from the book show the feeling towards Tom Kelly from Becky. 

"...and to live out my expected life, my real life, my pre-Tom Kelly life, as Becky, and no one else" Pg. 58

"If I loved Prince Gregory then I'd have to ask myself: Who did he love? And who was he marrying? Me, or Rebecca?" Pg.216

 "But I wasn't Rebecca. I was Becky and I'd made a terrible mistake. And there was nothing I could do except own up to it and muddle through." Pg. 217
"Here was the harshest truth: If being beautiful meant being loved, then I wasn't beautiful, not anymore. I was Becky, and I never felt so ugly." Pg. 224
These examples explain the struggle it was for Becky to find her true identity and to fight for it. As you can see, she's not very proud with who she became and that's why her becoming Rebecca was such a conflict in this book.

The second conflict which involves person vs. society relates, again, to Becky. Once Becky becomes, and then leaves Rebecca, she has to remember herself as Becky. People talk bad about Rebecca. They say that she was heartless, but Becky has to believe that she is not. She has to believe that she is different. Rumors start and conflicts arose because of her, but she tries to and pushes to get through it. Some examples that prove this are, "...everyone in the audience asks, "Who is that?"" Pg. 57

"I'm just sayin' that Rebecca Randle, wherever she is, she is gonna die alone and nobody's gonna care. And I bet she knows it." Pg. 241

"Find out. Don't be like Rebecca Randle. Don't run away. Give the world a chance. I mean, what's your choice?..." Pg. 260 These examples show how people/society feel about Rebecca, all this negativity is what Rebecca had to go through and that is why this was one of the main conflicts.

"Inner beauty wants out." Front page
Most of these examples are things that Becky's most closest companions have told her. This helps support that my theme is;           

Beauty is being the best version of yourself, inside and out.

"That was when Aimee and Suzanne returned from their latest class. They took one look at me and howled "WE HATE YOU!!!"... I can't believe that Prince Gregory is marrying you," Pg. 312

  Becky's actions tell us more about her by letting us know that she sticks up for those she cares about; she will not let others hurt the people she cares about or bring them down... without getting away with it.  She can take care of others and take care of herself with no problem. Quotes that support this statement are,
 "My fingers closed around the handle, the jumpsuit raised my arm and the bayonet flew into the terrorists palm and he dropped the grenade, with the pin remaining in place. Then the terrorist gave up and as he was dragged away, all I could think was, I guess I'm not in Missouri anymore. And I can take care of myself. And I can take care of Prince Gregory" Pg. 180

"I looked at her. I looked at all of them. "Excuse me," I said. "on her worst day, my mom was still a million times nicer than all of you put together. And if you want to stand here and talk about her body, why don't you take a look at your own." Pg. 5
Becky's looks are displayed as a young, beautiful yet ordinary girl. She looks very mature and perfected. Quotes from the text that support this are,
 "I raised my right hand which had once been square and stubby and scrubbed raw, and saw that it was now slim and graceful..." Pg. 52
"I saw amused almond shaped, emerald green eyes.." Pg.52

 "It was a nose, perfected" Pg.52

"... Returning every bountiful strand of chestnut hair to it's sublimely impossible perfection." Pg. 116
These examples show her looks in more depth, and can give you visual of what she looks like.
