Two external conflicts that readers see are American soldiers fighting against Vietnam soldiers and American soldiers battling nature.

“The Interlopers” by Saki, is a story mixed with man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. self, conflict. The resolution is a very surprising twisted fate however. In the beginning we learn of the three generation long quarrel between the Gradwitz’s and the Znaeym’s. “A famous law suit, in the days of his grandfather” (152). The boys grow up hating each other and wishing each other misfortune, and even death upon each other. “as boys they had thirsted for one another's blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other” (152). On that night both of the men separate from their groups in search of each other. After a few minutes of searching they find each other. But as fate may have it, nature strikes both men. Suddenly the harsh

Battles and fights are some examples of conflict in most fictional stories. They can be many different fights, like the epic battle between good and evil, or a kingdom defending their land from enemies. When people think of the word ‘battle’, they may think of climatic sword fights and war. But sometimes, battles can take place inside of a person. Perhaps a character may have conflicting aspirations and desires that may cause an internal battle and maybe result in something catastrophic. Or perhaps a character has opposing personalities that might clash and cause something important to happen. In many works of literature, the writer

Because the main characters witness extreme sacrifices, they both seem to undergo internal and external conflicts.

Literature is always comparable and contrastable in the views of the reader. Stories can compared through different literary elements, such as the Marxist Theory, which is the class struggles, and through symbolism. Harrison Bergeron and The Interlopers are two stories that can be both compared and contrasted through these two literary elements. Therefore, Harrison Bergeron and The Interlopers can be compared and contrasted through Marxist Theory and symbolism, because both contain different aspects of the theory, and both stories depict symbols that affect the overall story differently.

The main conflict of this novel is revealed in the synopsis on the back cover. The main character,

Oh how great our leader is! These words are similar to the words that many Germans would use throughout the power of Hitler. In Life and Death In the Third Reich, Peter Fritzsche introduces how society changed under Hitler. The society under Hitler would lead to the deaths of thousands of people. Hitler also will establish the idea what a “true German” was.

Son of the Father he thinks that way.” The connection for Zinzendorf was through Jesus’ example in handling persecution. Christian’s are free from persecution as he states, “In a word, we are free from the devil.” His belief in freedom from the bondage of the slavery of sin was the driving force behind what became the Moravian’s tendency towards the reception of persecution with little resistance. Zinzendorf believed in this principle so much that he taught faith itself was not possible without love. In lecture four of his Nine Public Lectures on Important Subjects in Religion he states, “It is quite clear that the Holy Scripture wants to point out to us that there is no saving faith which is not simultaneously love for Him who laid down his life for us.”

Conflict means a struggle or problem between two opposing groups or individuals. There are two types of conflict: internal and external conflict. An internal conflict is a struggle that is internalized and deals with choices, consequences, or emotions. An internal conflict is a man vs. self struggle. An external conflict is a struggle between the protagonist and another character against nature or some outside force. External conflicts are either man verses man, man verses nature, or man verses society. Various examples of internal and external conflicts can be shown in Guy de Maupassant’s “The Necklace,” Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” and O.Henry’s, “The Gift of the Magi.”

Von Franz packed the introduction with many ideas that I had to control myself from wanting to make one comment for every page. Overall, this chapter contained several compelling and thought-provoking themes. First, I'd like to comment on reactions and questions I had while reading. In the introduction, Von Franz mentioned a pathological, cold-blooded serial killer and a businessman, but regarding their dreams. The conclusion of their dreams showed how dreams infiltrate the conscious through the unconscious. As fascinating as the dreams and their meaning were, I questioned how did they isolate those dreams or particular moments. When I wake up, my dreams either fused together or the dreams separately broadcasted a bunch of random events. How

Georg Simmel was born on March 1, 1858 in Berlin, Germany and died on September 28, 1918 in Strassburg, Germany. Simmel’s was raised in a Jewish home but later his family converted over to Protestantism. Simmel trained as a philosopher, he also belonged to the first generation of German sociologists. Once receiving a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Berlin in 1881, Simmel became a lecturer at that university in sociology, philosophy, ethics, art, and psychology. Simmel later was known for the amazing lectures he gave, he attracted the intellectual elite of Berlin as well of people from across the world. Simmel was a founding member of the German Sociological Society, along with German sociologists such as Max Weber and Ferdinand Tönnies. By 1900 Simmel 's work was well known throughout Europe, Russia, and the Americas and his goal was to formally attain a position at the university, which he was unsuccessful. In 1901 he was granted an honorary position that placed him above the rank of lecturer but left him out of the mainstream affairs of the university. Many believed that Simmel did not achieve a formal position at the university because of his Jewish heritage and his popularity outside of academia, which made him appear unreliable to many of his colleagues causing him not to get the position early on in his career. Later though in 1914, four years before his death, he became a full professor at the University of Strassburg.
