Shorty a Haitian child that is going through a rough time. He's seeing things that many children wouldn't want to see at their age. Dead bodies everywhere, people starving to death, and just tragic things that we wouldn't expect to see here. Unfortunately, it's an everyday thing for him to see everything. He tries and tries to ignore everything, but every time he walks out they're right in front of his eyes.
So we can probably already guess what the conflict of the book is. It's Man vs. Society. Shorty is trying to live a better life but he can't. He can't due to everything he's experiencing. He talks about how everything is "unbelievable" and "nasty". No child should be dealing with a situation like this.
