Conflict

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

Riley 1st- I think a problem that just came up in chapter 9 is that momma is really missing Noah! Shes tells tilly that when the sun is out she wants her to go searching for Noah and nurse him and bring him back to me. I think that Calinda and Tilly are going to find him together because in the night she was offering to help with one of the oil lamps.

Kaylie 5th- I also found that a problem. Mama tells Tilly that she has to go search for Noah and bring him back to her. Delphine goes with Tilly to help her search for him. They take a lot of food for Noah. When they found him at first the doctor wouldn't let them in but then they got in and Noah ate mostly everything and then when he picked up the biscuit he put it back in the basket.

R iley 1st- For the external conflict(man vs. man?), Noah is pretty much facing himself and the impact of the war. He has lost his arm and it is a very tragic moment in the book, but he deals with it very well.He can bait a hook and anything else he puts his mind to. When Cass first saw him, she ran off the porch and grabbed her arm and started to cry. Momma was not there, because she had went in the river.But it is good that Noah is home and he can heal well(:! Elly 3rd- The external conflict I think is man vs. society. Through out the whole book you see the effects on the town and the people because of the war. Then with Noah going into the war and loosing his arm... yeah... Man vs. society had some serious impact on the book.

Internal conflict- The internal conflict is when there's a problem that is inside the character. An example would be how Mama is so worried and sad about Noah' she can't seem to get over it. Mama said she can spare Tilly but not Noah. So she's saying that she doesn't really need Tilly' she'd rather have Noah. I think that Tilly is the main character. She is thoughtful, brave, smart, really nice, and also more proper than most people in the story. She is also very responsible. -KAYLIE. :)
