Conflict

Conflicts - What are the major problems? Why are they problems?

My name is Zoe Bower from first period. I think that one of the problems is these two women, Calinda and Delphine, that are now living with them. They are very cautious with these people in the house, because they really don't know them that well.

I also think that a huge problem is how the mother is always worrying about Noah going off to war and what people are saying about Cass because of how strange she is. It seems like the mom's just in a worry fit there. -Rachel Kohberger-

This is Tre from 3rd period i agree with you guys and how Calinda and Delphine are not well known and how the mother is worrying about Noah but i wonder if other conflicts might arise form the strange women i hope to learn more about them

I think that Delphine's temper is probably going to end up being a problem sooner or later, you know just another guess. -Rachel Kohberger-

An external conflict is a problem between apposing sides. For instance man vs. man, man vs. society, and man vs. nature are different types of external conflict. In the end of the book Noah goes off to war and gets sick. So Tilly and Delphine head out to find him and bring him home. Once they get there they see what terrible conditions Noah has been in and they take control to make things better for the sick soldiers. Once Noah gets better he goes back in the war and ends up loosing his arm. The place they at was owned by a very rich women. She had made it clear that she did not like Delphine because of where she came from, and so the truth came out. This would be an example of man vs. society. After that they headed back home to Grand Tower where they came home to fine a coffin, they're fathers, and their mother had drowned in the river. ~Zoe Bower 1st period~

In the book Noah goes to war and Tilly and Delphine go to find him with the help of Dr.Hutchings. So they find him in a soldier camp very sick with a lot of other sick soldiers. Tilly and Delphine help heal Noah back to health. he went out to fight and lost his arm so when he came back mama had thrown herself in the river because a coffin came and she thought it was Noah but it turned out to be Pa he went to the confederacy. Noah the said that he fought him. This would be an example of man vs. man. So i also think that Noah was the main cause n the mothers death because if never went to war then the mom would have never been in a depression and she would have never killed herself. and Noah knew that mama didn't want him to go to war but he still went anyway. ~ Tre` Thomas period 3~

In the book the most thrilling conflict is in the last fifty or so pages. On the eve of his Noah and Tilly's 16th birthday he went off to fight for the Union. Mama became worried sick and forced Tilly to go find Noah, so then Tilly and Delphine went off to find Noah. This conflict seemed like Man vs. Man, or rather Tilly vs. Mama. When they got there Noah was sick, A Man vs. Nature conflict. Delphine and Tilly helped heal Noah and the other soldiers back to health, another Man vs. Nature. Then Noah went to war and lost his arm in battle. After that Noah decided to come home to Mama, but she had committed suicide and drown herself, I consider this as Mama's last conflict Man vs. Himself. 5 words to describe Tilly is: Dedicated, Brave, Not very confident, Friendly, and a bit of a Loner in my eyes. -Rachel Kohberger-
