Blog #4 Conflict

What is the major problem faced by your character(s)? All of the victims we are reading about are living with multiple difficulties. In addition to the central issue, what other daily conflicts do the characters experience?

Remember to use the conflict vs. society, character, self, language. Are the problems chiefly internal or external?

The deadline for this blog is Wednesday, November 21.

Enjoy your holiday! I am thankful to be your teacher.
