A student is writing a paragraph about "Broken Chain" that makes the point that Alfonso’s conflict in the story is mainly an int

ernal one. What would be the best illustration of this point? He hates the way he looks and spends hours “trying to herd his teeth into place with his thumb.” He decides against dyeing his hair because he knows his mother “wouldn’t go for it” and his father would call him a “sissy.” He races down the street on his bike “as cool as he could be” with his hands “stuffed into his pockets.” He feels his “stomach knot up” and threatens to run Ernie over with his bike when they talk about Sandra.

zlopas [31]
<span>1) Auntie Sonya wore a  d.)sorrowing expression. She was a lady who thought that life can't be good when people reach her age. The description by Iskander nicely emphasizes the mood that his character brings into story: ''She was a middle-aged woman with short hair and a look of permanent sorrow frozen on her face.''. Throughout the whole story she always seems unhappy.

2)  Uncle Shura calls the narrator a monk. He called him so because unlike his sister he follows the principles of the religion that their parents belong to. Uncle Shura said that in humoristic way, but the narrator become very offended primarily because his world of faith was destroyed in a second when his sister ate the pork.

3) The narrator's brother once jumped out a window. When he heard someone's knock at the door he realised that it is his teacher came to complain for his bad behaviour in school. When parents opened the door, the boy had already jumped out of the window in order to avoid punishment.

4) <span>The narrator thought he deserved the notebook more than his brother or sister. He became a little sad because at that time it was hard to get notebooks and he thought that kids have to deserve it. Since he was an excellent pupic he thought that all the 9 notebooks should belong to him, not to his sinful sister or his scampish brother.

5</span>) Treachery is compared to a caterpillar. When the narrator sums up all his thoughts and actions he admits that even though his sister left her principles, he was the only person that parents must blame on. And in the very last sentence he compares betrayal to a caterpillar : 'and that out of a small cocoon of petty envy, an ugly moth of betrayal can grow.'
