The main conflicts are probably as follows: 1.

The heroine's mother was rejected because of her obesity and was timid and inferior. 3. The unbridgeable gulf between blacks and whites. 4. On the basis of 3, the story of the second female (white, the heroine's good friend) falling in love with the black.

Penny Pingleton: [kiss] Oh, Seaweed, will integration ever come?
Seaweed: Oh, Penny, my little white lily, we're outcast from both societies: black, white. Our love is taboo.
Penny Pingleton: Oh, go to second! Go to second!
Beatnik Chick: Like, hi, cats. Sit down. You got the fuzz chasin' you?
