Answer 1

My teacher says for number 3

3 - In the conflict column, you need to write "man vs. society" or man vs. man or man vs. nature or man vs. self. Put the descriptions of the conflict in the 4th column and be sure to explain how the quote/conflict shows the type of conflict you put in the 2nd column. P.S. Your Walter Mitty quote is not from the story we read. And Silky Bob was not framed.

“The Story of an Hour” Kate Chopin


Type of conflict found in this story (choose from list above)
Man vs what . . .


Quote from the story that shows the conflict you chose.
Be sure to include the page #.


Once sentence description of how the conflict plays out in the story

Answer 9

Oh wow, interesting story.
So, this one is about a woman, Josephine, who has been told that her husband has died in an accident. As she processes the news, she finds herself thinking that maybe her husband dying will give her more freedom in life, and she comes to be glad for the news. Towards the end of the story, Josephine is so shocked to find out that her husband was alive the whole time that she dies of a heart attack.
I think this one would be man vs. self, since Josephine struggles with her own feelings as the main conflict of the story

Answer 10

Once sentence description of how the conflict plays out in the story IN “The Story of an Hour” Kate Chopin

Answer 11

Well, mainly Josephine struggles with her feelings about her husband's death and eventually collapses when the reality of her husband's survival doesn't match up with her hopeful anticipation that he is dead.

Answer 12

Quote from the story that shows the conflict you chose.
Be sure to include the page #.

Answer 13

I think the conflict becomes clear on page 3 of the story. Almost any quote from that page would do the trick, I think

Answer 14

which quote do you prefer

Answer 15

I think the third paragraph on the page works well, and most of the fourth paragraph is good too, but that would be a little long

Answer 16

should i put the quote ?

Answer 17

Yeah, I suppose so

Answer 18

but i can't see in page 3

Answer 19

is it when she says free free free ?

Answer 20

Yeah, the conflict is pretty clear there, and there's a lot of buildup to that moment too, before she accepts her feelings of freedom

Answer 21

it's free free free ?

Answer 22

or go away, i am not making myself ill

Answer 23

Oh, I think when you're asked for quotations, it doesn't necessarily mean something that a character said. You're just meant to quote the text of the story. So, if you quoted all of paragraph 3 or the whole sentence containing the "free free free" quotation, I think that' work well

Answer 24

ohh i see

Answer 25

“After Twenty Years” O. Henry

Type of conflict found in this story (choose from list above)
Man vs what . . .

Answer 26

I think this one would be man vs. man, probably. Bob and Jimmy have conflicting interests, with Bob wanting to meet his old friend and Jimmy wanting to uphold the law, although this isn't revealed until the very end of the story.
I think the content of Jimmy's letter at the end shows this pretty well

Answer 27

Quote from the story that shows the conflict you chose.
Be sure to include the page #.

Answer 28

Oh yeah, like before, it's the last page of the story, but I'm not sure what number that is

Answer 29

PROBABLY PAGE 8

Answer 30

Yeah that sounds alright

Answer 31

or 7

Answer 32

Once sentence description of how the conflict plays out in the story

Answer 33

Maybe we'd want to describe how Bob's goal of meeting up with his old friend conflicts with his friend's responsibility to make sure he is arrested as a wanted criminal

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” James Thurber

Type of conflict found in this story (choose from list above)
Man vs what . . .

Answer 35

I think this story has man vs. self as the conflict. Walter Mitty struggles in his day-to-day life because he constantly gets lost in daydreams, where he lives a more exciting life.

Answer 36

Quote from the story that shows the conflict you chose.
Be sure to include the page #.

Answer 37

There are a lot of examples of Walter's daydreams. The story opens with one, and I think there are about three more throughout the story. Each time, his daydream is interrupted by reality, and Walter realizes he's actually in some sort of dangerous or embarrassing position.
You can really take your pick about which example you want to use.

“The Lottery” Shirley Jackson

Type of conflict found in this story (choose from list above)
Man vs what . . .

Answer 41

Oh well this one is definitely man vs. society. Tessie Hutchinson is reluctant to participate in the lottery, but she is obliged to by tradition, which ultimately kills her

Answer 42

Quote from the story that shows the conflict you chose.
Be sure to include the page #.

Answer 43

I think on page 21, when the villagers realize that the Hutchinsons have the marked paper is when Tessie really begins to show opposition to the lottery, saying repeatedly that the decision wasn't fair.

Answer 44

Once sentence description of how the conflict plays out in the story

Answer 45

I guess, Tessie's attempts to get out of participating in the lottery conflict with the villagers' insistence that they go through with it

Answer 46

thank you for number 3 i appreciate now it's for number 4 i'll post a new question

Answer 47

Ok, I think I'm gonna head out now. Good luck with the rest of your assignment!
