Conflicts

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

Hi, this is Jessica Hefferan from first period. One of the major conflicts in the story is being on the cargo ship, trying to behave, so they will get food. These people have not had food in days, and at the same time they are being worked to the bone. Also, they have their ankles and wrists chained, and the condition on the cargo is bad.

hey talon here just saying that i think that it is obserd the pain

they make the slaves go through. they make them work their butts off and they even starve them. still me on a different day butt what about that girl that got beat up as well in pages 50 through 100.

This is Jess again from 1st period. I think that this conflict going on now would be external conflict. Amos is not as "upset" or sad about being a slave. He quotes "I'm young in freedom, and I've got my strength still. " He is a very strong man for being a slave and he does believe he will be free sooner or later, but for now, he doesn't really know what to do. He's stuck. Although I did not finish reading yet, I'm not very far from finishing.

Hi, Melody here from third period. I think Jess's example is an example of Man vs. Society. One example of Man vs. Man would be Amos and Violet. When they had a little fight for the money in the kettle that was in the ashes. Amos wanted to give it to Lois because she is short on money and needs the help. Violet, on the other hand wants, Amos to take to William Turner's for land that Amos has wanted for awhile now.

hi,talon falls here another conflict would be man vs. nature a example of this could be when he went to get freed frim the slaves and it made him feel good about himself because he felt like he conquered the slave world
