The problem with his appointed lawyer was that he didn’t speak Spanish and the family friend didn’t speak English, therefore there was no way of communication. The lawyer did not find out anything about his case, he didn’t find out whether or not he had a work permit or a visa, which he did but had been expired. The attorney appointed to him just said, “Sign the papers and you’ll be released here.” The family friend just did what the lawyer said because he thought he was helping him, not creating a bigger problem. Now, he is fighting to stay here where he has built a life with his wife and kids. Again, what is the point of having a system if it has faults to it? Problems in the system have been present since about the 1930s or 1940s and are still present to this day, it may not have as many faults however some are still present.

Every story has a conflict. In “Seventh Grade” the conflict Is in Vitctor’s mind so that means that it is internal. Internal means it is inside a person. In the “Melting pot” the conflict is outside of the person. So that means it is external. External means that the conflict is outside a person’s mind or feelings.

In the “Melting Pot” the conflicts are external because they take place between different groups of people in a neighborhood who do not get along because of their culture.

In the Short story, “I used to live here once" by Jean Rhys portrays the story of a woman who is still in the process of accepting her death and that she is already in the afterlife.

The first conflict is existed between Mr. Waterhouse and Mr. Donaldson. The reason of the conflict is connected with different type of decision making between these two people.

Being on doubts regarding the future of Mr. Donaldson, he represents an example of a justification type of account-giving response on a conflict: he does not know what to do and finds justifications for his position
