In the book I just finish, there is a secret agency that gets kids under cover to work with the police and the goverment to get wanted people. in the book the main character James, befriends the most wanted drug dealer's son, Junior. James after that becomes a street dealer himself, to get closer to the dad, Keith. this Drug dealing gang, the KMG, the Keith Moore Gang, is the top drug dealing gang in the area.
Over time he gets closer and closer to the family, and to Keith Moore. in the end they take James on vacation with them to Miami. Miami is the Drug dealing central of the world. James is told to hack into Keith's computer. he does but that doesn't help the problem in the long run. In the end 3 drug dealers from other gangs break into the house and almost kill Junior and Keith. they get Keith locked up for all the crimes after he was treated at the Miami hospital. this is a social conflict because of the use of drugs and other illegal things.

Moneyball conflicts
The conflict in the book i am reading is how the Oakland A's don't have as much money as the other teams.Billy Bean, the A's manager, was a great baseball player but never made it in the league.He became the A's manager after his career failed.he started to go in to the world of management.
He becomes the A's management after his fail of a player. He turns the team around after the difficulty of having the least amount of money in the MLB. He is the manager for about 4 seasons then he goes to be the manager of a different team, the Boston RedSoxs. But in the time period he was there he set records and did thing in baseball that none would have ever done until Billy Bean did. Now what Billy Bean did is now the set of teams and the same ideas and mindsets he had 10 years earlier. Another way he had troubles was because of his way of thinking other teams didn't want to deal with him because he would trade for all of their scrap players.
The real conflict in the end is nothing, because the front office(management of a team) takes care of all the problems and the biggest problem is the way Billy left the team for more money. Also, i thought that was the most emotional and messed up part in the book.

Freak the Mighty
I think that the setting is important to this book because of the way the town is set up. The hospital seems very far acording to Max. also it seems like over the pong at the apartments where Loreta Lee lives is the "BAD" place to go. They go on a lot to quests, so the book is all about telling us about where they go, do, and see (setting). That is why i think the setting is a big part in Freak The Mighty
