Reason's to Be Pretty

The major conflict of "Reason's to Be Pretty" is the crumbling relationship of Greg and Steph. Steph's insecurity about why Greg is with her and Greg's inability to express his emotions.
The story starts at the home of Greg and Steph, as they are arguing about a remark Greg made. Steph's girlfriend, Carly, the wife of Greg,s friend Kent, overhears Greg comment that the new girl at work has a pretty face.The remark doesn't stop here, he also adds that Steph's face is regular. A remark that kind hearted Greg finds innocent, he loves that face.
I would call Greg the protagonist, and Steph the antagonist.The verbal lashing hurled at Greg in the first scene by Steph, has you waiting and hoping it will soon end. Greg takes it all, he wants this relationship to continue. This argument is the turning point and Steph walking out of the apartment and Greg's life the climax. For someone who is an avid reader Greg just can't find the words to smooth the situation over.
When Steph and Greg meet at the mall you realize there is no resolution to their conflict, but the meeting at the restaurant ties up some of the loose ends so that both are able to move on.
Carly, Kent's pregnant wife is the one I feel most for, although she is the reason for all of this fighting.
Carly is the one filled with grief. Grief at the loss of her friends as a couple and the grief she feels over the loss of trust in her cheating husband.
It is the fight betwwen Greg and Kent that gives Greg the courage to move on. Mild mannered Greg comes to terms with his own morality. Kent gets what he deserves an ass kicking and the loss of the trophy.
The language although appropriate at times, goes a little too far for my liking. I realize that this is the language of the 21st century. Being around teenagers and young adults I hear this language often. It doesn't mean I have got use to it. I feel sorry that the art of conservation is being lost. If using the F word is the only way to express yourself, college english is just a waste of time.
