Question

it was a very sad and withdrawn girl who dragged into the principals office the next day.
this time he did look me in the eyes.
\what did your grandfather say?\
i sat very straight in my chair.
\he said to tell you he wont pay the fifteen dollars.\
the principal muttered something i couldnt understand under his breath and walked over to the window. he stood looking out at something outside. he looked bigger than usual when he stood up; he was a tall, gaunt man with gray hair, and i watched the back of his head while i waited for him to speak.
\why?\ he finally asked. \your grandfather has the money. he owns a two - hundred acre ranch.\
i looked at him, forcing my eyes to stay dry. \i know, sir, but he said if i had to pay for it, then it wouldnt be a scholarship jacket.\ i stood up to leave. \i guess youll just have to give it to joann.\ i hadnt meant to say that, it had just slipped out. i was almost to the door when he stopped me.
\martha - wait.\
i turned and looked at him, waiting. what did he want now? something bitter and vile tasting was coming up in my mouth; i was afraid i was going to be sick. i didnt need any sympathy speeches. he sighed loudly and went back to his big desk. he watched me, biting his lip.
\okay. well make an exception in your case. ill tell the board, youll get your jacket.\
i could hardly believe my ears. i spoke in a trembling rush. \oh, thank you, sir!\ suddenly i felt great. i didnt know about adrenaline in those days, but i knew something was pumping

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The resolution occurs when the principal decides to make an exception for Martha. Despite her grandfather's refusal to pay the fifteen - dollar fee for the scholarship jacket (as he believed it should be truly a "scholarship" and not something to be bought), the principal tells Martha that he will inform the Board and she will get the jacket. This resolves the conflict Martha was facing regarding obtaining the scholarship jacket.

Answer:

The principal makes an exception for Martha. He tells her that he will inform the Board and she will get the scholarship jacket.
