Earlier in the story on page 24, jr states, "rowdy and i are inseparable." then later he says on page 53, "i knew that my best friend had become my worst enemy." how can something like that happen and which statement do you think best describes their relationship? explain why you think so.

There are many reasons why such things can happen. In this case its most likely because of movement in the plot or conflict. I would need more context to answer more thoroughly though.

Explanation:

In addition, it is probably the second quote which describes their relationship better since it is used further in the story.

If I had more plot context I could answer better, but hope this helps!

a. the scene is structured as a dialogue between two characters in their own informal language.

i think it is called the president's cabinet.
