How are conflict, characterization, and narration connected to literature in your life? I think conflict, characterization and narration are connected in literature and life by each other. For example before the author Dr. Seuss came out the book of life wasn't as creative. Now in the 20th century the world if filled with many books like Dr. Suess’ but better because we now have conflict, characterization and narration in books. That can tell us how the character feels and there thoughts. The conflict shows us the problem of the story and narration is who is telling the story. The conflict i'll be explaining is man vs society out of the book “The most dangerous game.” In my opinion this is the most important because it tells us more about …show more content…
I had a time where i got blamed for something i did one time but the other person would never get in trouble and constantly was doing things that she should of gotton in trouble for. The problem with this situation is that it only takes one time for you to get in trouble and to get something taken away. What I love to do most is play sports, but when you play sports most likely you're going to have teammates. Some teammates you'll like and some you just might not get along with. There was this one teammate that didn't care. All she did was mess around and be rude the other players. She would do it time after time and no one would say anything so i took it into my own hands. Which i soon came to find out that you should let other people handle it, so It was after the game and she was once again throwing a fit so i said somethings she said something back and we started to argue. When the coach walked in it was me who was talking at the time and my coach herd me i got in trouble and almost got kicked of the team. When my coach was done talking to me i calmly joined back with my teammates and continued on with what i was doing. This situation taught me that things will be unfair but you need to keep a good attitude don't let others get to you. Some people might not be the nicest, but at the end of they do you have to mind your business and keep doing on what you need to

Some stories do not have many different conflicts in the story. For example, in “Little Red Riding Hood” there is only one conflict which is Man vs Wolf or Man vs Man, but in some stories like “The Most Dangerous Game” there are all three conflicts throughout the book. Having more conflicts gives the story a bigger theme of suspense. In “Little Red Riding Hood”, the only conflict is getting to her grandma’s house where in “The Most Dangerous Game” there are many different conflicts that give the story more suspense and make it more interesting. Furthermore, there are many examples of conflicts in the short story.
Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is perhaps one of the most beloved children’s authors of the twentieth century. Although he is most famous as an author of children’s books, Geisel was also a political cartoonist, advertisement designer, and film director (Kaplan). He used the power of imagination to produce unforgettable children’s books and helped solve the problem of illiteracy among America’s children. By using his experiences in life as a foundation for most of his books, Theodor Geisel created a unique writing style that incorporated various elements and techniques, enabling his books to appeal to people of all ages.
Dr. Seuss I took an unconventional approach in the topic I chose for my reading assignment – whereas most groups selected single novels, my partner and I opted to read a collection of short stories by none other than the notorious Dr. Seuss. Were I writing this essay on a “normal” book, I would be able to pose a question about the book itself and answer it in an ordinary sort of way. However, given the subject matter I have chosen, an essay on an individual book, though possible, would be a very tricky thing to do. It would be wiser, and probably easier, to respond to the man himself. My decision to respond to the man himself makes many more choices – what facet of Dr. Seuss shall I ask myself questions about? I think

Each story ever written has many literary elements within it. Elements such as setting, characters, resolution, plot, and lastly conflict, Conflict is a major part of any story.

The article I decided to use to showcase conflict theory in the news is that of Flint Michigan’s water crisis because after thinking about the concept of conflict theory and the way it plays in our society by benefitting those in power while at the expense of those without power and wealth. Couldn’t help but think of this specific story because the residents were coerced and guided by those in power to believe that the water they were using and drinking was safe for consumption, but in truth was tainted with high levels of total coliform bacteria and lead. It all occurred when the city switched its major water supply despite complaints about the Flint River water, the government misled the residents about the safety of the water in order save

Personally, “The Sanctuary of School” offers the strongest conflict. Namely, the conflict of Man v. Society, because troubled children like Lynda Barry contend with those who think before and after school programs are unimportant.
Conflict is not something that can be avoided, especially in fiction. In fact, conflict is the main purpose of how a story came to be – without conflict, there will be no story. As quoted from Peder Hill (n.d.), “Its the primary ingredient that weaves together all the other elements of a novel”. However, conflict can arise in a story in various forms and they alter the course of the story. For instance, a conflict of decision. What decision is made by the characters moves the story. This is called external conflict, which Rector (2002) defines as “a struggle between a character and an outside force”. On the other hand, conflict within a character may also arise, which is called internal conflict. Internal conflict means “a struggle that
