Question

"At least," says Neto, "we made it known that we wouldn't accept racism in our school or from our fans. We made a difference in the part of our lives that we really could control." –It’s Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference, Phillip M. Hoose What is the resolution to the story’s conflict?

Answer 1

The resolution to the conflict is where individuals, including Neto, stand against racism in their school, making a difference within their control, reflecting broader themes of social justice and personal responsibility.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the excerpt you've provided, the resolution to the story's conflict is signified by Neto's reflection that through their actions, they have shown a collective non-acceptance of racism within their school and among their fans. They may not have eradicated racism entirely, but within their sphere of influence—their school—they have made a clear stance against it and certainly made a difference. This resolution also aligns with the broader theme of personal responsibility and the impact individuals and groups can have on promoting social justice and equality, which is a central idea in other texts mentioned.
