Conflicts

Conflicts - What are the major problems? Why are they problems? Some of the major problems I noticed so far is that: The Civil War is going on, Bill wants to leave, and the tension in the Creighton house is getting a lot worse. The reason why these are problems is that since the Civil War is going on that makes debates on who the Creighton's should be supporting. Which in turn makes more tension in the home and nearby areas because some people have different view points and so the get in arguments over who is right and who is wrong. This causes the final problem I have stated which would be that Bill wants to leave home. This is because of the tension and all the fighting going on. Then once Bill leaves I'm going to have to guess that it will cause more problems. - Aden (1st Period)

Kline Williams(7th Period) Hey Aden! :) I do notice these conflicts. Another thing I noticed is that Jethro wants to go to war too. But since he is too young, his mother probably doesn't want him to. Yes there is a lot of fighting going on in this family. When Bill leaves, I bet the mother, Ellen Creiton will get very worried. I'm not sure but I think Bill is going to try to go to war. That is all for now...

Kline Williams(7th Period) Since you are not in school today, I guess I am going to have to tell you all the conflicts in pages 50-100... Okay, first of all Tom joined the war. The first battle he was involved in was the battle at Fort Henry. The North won. Another conflict is that Ellen Creiton, the mother, suffers from caffeine headaches. And since she has an addiction to coffee, that isn't very good. Bill is gone. The letters being sent are getting fewer and fewer. That is all for now.

External Conflict (definition) A conflict that involves a character having a problem with something outside himself like nature, society, and maybe another character. The external conflict I am seeing in the story is that Tom has joined the war and is fighting another army in the Civil War. The type of conflict I think that would be is man versus society. I hope Tom is alright. My quote from the story to prove my conflict is Ed said to Jethro "There's bin a bad fight, Jeth, down in South Tennessee."- Page 93 5th paragraph.

Hello again Aden. I am right now typing this from the plane :) So I am guessing Mrs. Quinn made you define External Conflict and it's a good thing because i had no idea what it was. I did notice this conflict, and i do hope Tom is okay. That's all.
