Conflict/Resolution Milkweed

The main conflict in Milkweed is that the main character, Misha, has to survive living in the ghetto, but he also has to support his family and friends. He learns fast, even though he is just a kid. But for someone who doesn't know their own name, he learned quite a lot and used that in his early years. The problem is that he feels like he is stuck somewhere where he can't get out. Just another day, smuggling food and sleeping. It wasn't a normal child's life. This is a person vs. society conflict because he is trying to survive under the strict rules of the society.

The solution to the conflict was that Misha escaped, and he worked more and more to go somewhere where he was free. As he got older, he still had to deal with his past. He tried to find ways do cope with the memories, and the way he did that was that he spent time comforting his granddaughter. It wasn't a direct solution, but Misha still did figure out that he just had to let go of everything in his past and focus on what was going on in the present.
