The major conflict in the story is wether to trust Andrew Snow or not to trust him. That is like an over view of all the other conflicts because Rew and Annie always find themselves choosing to trust Andrew Snow or not to. Andrew Snow is an escaped prisoner who is hiding at their house and holding them hostage. Along with this, Andrew Snow is Rew and Annie's father. This adds more confusion into their tangled background story. Rew is a stubborn boy, he is always trying to figure out ways to escape. He mostly just tells Andrew Snow impertinent comments probably hoping he will leave. Annie, on the other hand, seems to make more peace with Andrew Snow. She is very curious about why her mom left her and why Andrew Snow is not dead. The only way she gets answers is my being nice. She loathe herself when she shows kindness because Annie knows Rew would disapprove. Yet there are so many questions to be solved.I am leaning a bit more on the trusting side for many reasons. The idea of having Annie's and Rew''s existence was Andrew Snow's. He has not harmed Annie or Rew at all either. I think Rew is being over-dramatic with the situation they are in. Andrew Snow has also been cleaning up their kitchen because he "cares" about their hygiene. True, he is an escaped prisoner that is why I am not all the way on the trusting side but just to be cautious.
Rew told Annie to take a letter and mail it in the mailbox. The letter states the distress they are in which is a prisoner keeping them hostage and asks for help. Annie did not mail it and lied to Rew about completing the task. After reading this I wonder if Rue will find out that his sister lied to him. If he does, I think Rew will react badly to the lie which will lead to chaos. He might do something idiotic and fail at it but will cause the two siblings to part. Hopefully Rew does not find the letter it would be dreadful and dangerous.

Wow I really like your layout! Anyway I really liked how you described the major conflict and how you're leaning towards the trusting side with Andrew Snow. I haven't read this book yet, but I have read blogs about it. Overall, I think you did a good job.
