Setting: The labs at a school

Protagonist: Sophie

Rising Action: Sophie's description of how the trip to the coral reefs had changed her perspective on environmental issues.

Conflict: No one believes her capable of doing anything about it.

Climax: She works tirelessly to develop the idea she believes will change everything, while ignoring those who do not believe in her, and presents her idea to the scientists.

Falling Action: Everyone applauds.

Resolution: The scientists all loved her approach and she was able to change their minds.

The main theme in "The Reefs" is that other people's perception of you should not dictate what you can and cannot do. In this text, Sophie is a girl who cares about the environment. However, no one takes her seriously. She tells us that people dismissed her in the following way: "“You are just a high school kid, Sophie,” they warned.  “What makes you think you are capable of solving this crucial environmental issue?  Stop wasting your time.”  The professors would not give her laboratory time to complete research nor would they share their expertise with her." Nevertheless, she works very hard in her research and is eventually able to surprise them with how capable she is.
