To begin with, I believe that there was more than one conflicts in the story. The conflicts were man vs. nature, man vs. self, man vs. man, and man vs. society. Mattie acquired all of these conflicts throughout the novel. To describe the conflict of man vs. nature, it is explained that the fever had spread through the air and it was up to Mattie to save herself from the disease. She had to “fight” nature and protect herself from the heat as well as the fever until winter arrived. Mattie also fought with herself when she had to decide to give Nell up to the orphanage or keep her in her own hands. Mattie also shows man vs. society as she defended the intruders breaking in the coffeehouse. Man vs. man is explained in the novel when Mattie would argue about doing her chores and going to Polly’s funeral in the
Nestled deep in the mountains of Western North Carolina, the Linville Gorge is a federally designated wilderness area that is part of Pisgah National Forest. This unique slice of southern Appalachia is managed by the Grandfather Ranger District and is located in the Blue Ridge Escarpment near the town of Marion, NC. To the east, Linville Gorge is bordered by Jonas Ridge, and the slopes of Linville Mountain form the western border. The two steep sides create a terrain that is extremely rugged and rocky, which would seemingly make it difficult for vegetation to establish communities on the canyon walls. However, this is not the case, as the gorge has very dense populations of hardwoods, conifers, and understory shrubs. The intimidating topography of the Linville Gorge Wilderness area enabled it to be

1. Thomas woke up in a dark lift in a mine shaft, not being able remember anything but his name. He screamed and pounded against the walls trying to find a way out of the now still lift, or have someone at least find him and get him out. But all he got in return was silence. Thomas backed into the corner of the lift, fear filling him once again when the lift suddenly started moving up again and light was coming through the ceiling of the shaft before it opened up completely. The author leaves the reader wanting to read more into the book, to know what was out there after coming out of the mine shaft. At this point in the book I am not sure who the antagonist and protagonist are, but I believe that Thomas has the highest chance at being the protagonist and possibly the antagonist further on in the book.
