Conflicts

Conflicts - What are the major problems? Why are they problems? Meow, Rayne from 3rd period here again. Throughout the book; there has been many conflicts. Man VS. Man was the Union army vs the Confederate army. Then, Man VS Himself, for poor Jethro and having to mature so early. He had to do a man's work,despite being only around 9-12. These problems have all been resolved though,because when his family came home Jethro no longer had to be the "Man of the House", because his brothers could then help. The war stoped obviously because of the treaty signed. :3 Hello. This is Rayne from 3rd period,and now that we have read up to page 100, we have some more problems! First of all,still haven't heard from Bill,or Eb and Tom in awhile. It makes us wonder if anyone of them have died. Another problem is that Shad headed off to war. He is now in the danger of dieing as well. (These are some minor conflicts but it is still a conflict regardless) Another thing is Jethro's encounter with the men in the shop,as well as them watching him in the yard. Its pretty creepy to know you are being watched..... Oh! And another problem, this time being rather major, is the injury Jethro's father has got because he was attacked. Because of that,now Jethro and Jenny have to work full time. They can't work only what they normally did,now they have to work full time like adults. A 10 year old working like a full grown man! Also,because of the way Tom and Eb wrote to the family,it sounded like they were affected greatly by the war. There is known people that went crazy because of the scenes at war. Could Tom,Shad,John, or Eb be affected?

Hey it Alex again from p. 1 and now that I thought about it your problem would be the moest serious problem going on in the book right now. nice statement

Hello, this is Rayne Burgin, and I am typing from third period class. I would say your problem is a problem most defently, but the most serious problem is (I appoligize the font is a bit smaller; I clicked a button by accident and it changed) the Civil War in general. If the Civil War was not going on, we wouldn't have to worry about Bill,Tom, or Eb. We also wouldn't have to worry about the family choosing sides and spliting apart. With the fights the family is getting into, I wouldn't be suprised if they really did split apart. One side of the family might be rooting for the South/Confederates, while the other side is rooting for the Union/North. This could cause the older boys to fight on different sides, and they might actually have to fight each other on the battle field. If the problem of the Civil War was gone, none of these events would even have a chance of occuring.

Hey it's Alex Garbrick from first period class. The problem that is the most serious right now is that Bill really is trying to join the Union Army ,but his wife and Jethro are trying to convince him to stay home because it is very dangerous. The war has just started because the south seceded from the Union, and the new president, Abraham Lincoln, was going to get rid of slavery in the United States, and the south's economy depended on slavery. The day after Lincoln got elected, the first state seceded. Ulysses S. Grant is the General of the Union Army and the people in the North love him.

Hey its alex again and the major conflict is that Jethro's kid got shot and now the whole family is now "getting hunted down'' it seems like.

Hi its Shawn Shafer from 7th period .One problem I read about was that a few people burned the families house and the family including Jethro are very teriffied.Also Jethro went into town and was tormented by a guy because his brother fought for the confederacy.

Its alex again from p. 1 and i have an external conflict to share with you. first, external conflict is conflict that is between a person and a society or against a person or a person against nature. I know this was a little bit earlier in the story, but i think it is a good one to share with you guys. The one i have to share is when Bill left for war, his wife was not happy about it. The argued alot about it before he decided he was going to go fight. When Bill did get to the war, he still wrote to his family alot, which was a very good thing, but his wife was still very worried about him. When the war was over, Bill is still alive, and his wife was still there for him, even though he didn't listen to her and he could of easily gotten killed. When Bill got back his family still loved him, and he still loved them. Bill did a very good thing for his country. This conflict was man vs. society because Bill was fighting all the people in the war, and he argued with his wife before he left.

Hi its shawn shafer ,i have internal conflict that is when a character is conflicting with him or her self.my example is that when mr.creighton wouldnt let jenny marry shaderach yale but at the end of the book he let her marry him at the last minute.to me jethro was young and inexperienced and kind of week.at the end of the book jethro was strong idependent and more mature
