In this excerpt from "The Diary of Anne Frank", the type of conflict that is shown is character vs. character.
They have just received a pie and are about to divide it into eight pieces. Mr. Dussel says "Mrs. Frank divides things better." Mrs. Van Daan wants to know what Dussel is insinuating by saying this. Conflicts are a very important part of literature. The characters must go through various hardships in order to keep the reader engaged. This type of conflict is character vs. character, it clearly means a conflict between two people.
Fear a lot of the time. When one is corrupt, the people that wanted to keep them corrupted could come find out who told the authorities and come after them.
In her poem "This is my letter to the world," Emily Dickinson speaks to the world. She says that although she has addressed the world (maybe the Earth, or humanity), the world has never replied. However, she does not feel disheartened. She continues to communicate and only asks the world to be kind to her. The theme of the poem is one of loneliness, and at the same time, of belonging to home. It highlights Dickinson's sense of belonging to the world of her "sweet countrymen," but also how inconsequential this world finds her presence.
One of the poetic elements in the poem is the personification of Nature. Dickinson writes:
<em>"The simple news that Nature told, </em>
<em>With tender majesty."</em>
Nature cannot "tell" anything, but she is giving it human qualities in her poem. She says that nature told her news majestically. By saying that, she contrasts the world, never talking to her, and nature, communicating beautifully. Nature has treated her with kindness and generosity by addressing her, as opposed to the world, which has mostly ignored her. In this way, she establishes her relationship with nature as an ally and a driving force for her actions. Nature has also been her link to the world. By giving nature these human qualities, she establishes the role that nature has played in her belonging to the world, but also in her sense of isolation. In this way, it relates to the theme of belonging to a "home."
