The Silver Cup!

Authors Note- This essay is about a conflict that is resolved.

     In the book "Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes", there're many conflicts and some are resolved. The one I find is the most important in the whole book is the silver cup Johnny receives from his mother before she past away. The reason why he got it in the first place was to prove he was related to a wealthy relative. But, that all goes wrong when they meet face to face.

     Johnny, was given a silver cup right before his mother died. She gave that to Johnny to prove to him he was related to a wealthy merchant named Jonathan Lyte. Johnny approaches Jonathan Lyte and shows him the slver cup he received from his mother as evidence that they are related. However, Jonathan Lyte accuses Johnny of stealing it and has him arrested. Showing you,  that is the conflict of the story. But, it is resolved when Rab and Cilla help get Johnny cleared of the charges in court. After this Jonathan Lyte then steals the cup after Johnny tries to sell it to him. At this point Johnny takes up the offer of delivering newspapers.

     I found that Jonathan accusing Johnny was one of the big and main conflicts in the book. I know Johnny's mother was expecting that when she gave the silver cup to Johnny. But, predicting that there're may be bigger and worst conflicts to come in the future of the story.
