Conflicts

Conflicts - What are the major problems? Why are they problems? This is Noah again and here are some of the conflicts that i have found. One of the ones are that Jethro is worried about being alone and about the war. He is also trying not to remember about his sisters death. Jethro hopes that Bill and John are safe.

Holly here. Thanks for saying that. I'm not to great at finding the conflict in a story, unless its really obvious.

Noah again. Yea i'm not really good at finding the conflict either. I usually look for the most important things and the most things that occur and the things they repeat over and over again

Holly here. I found the conflict this time!!! Yeah! Okay, well the external conflict is the Crieghtion family is being taunted by some rowdy men who are leaving threats because Bill might have joined the Jonny Rebs (aka the Confederacy). An example of that is the men burned down the barn and poisoned the well water with oil. (Reading Comp questions help a lot with this book this was one of the Q last night.)

==Noah here. The internal conflict is the feeling someone has to deal with about a problem. The internal conflict in the story is probably Jethro dealing with his sisters death and about Bill joining the Confederacy as you said^. Also it is when uncle Eb and John are away and he is worried about them. The final thing i found that is internal is when Jethro was very mad and serious about Shad and his sister wanting to get married.==
