I went north—I did not try to hide myself. When a god or a demon saw me, then I would die, but meanwhile I was no longer afraid.

My hunger for knowledge burned in me—there was so much that I could not understand. After a while, I knew that my belly was hungry. I could have hunted for my meat, but I did not hunt. It is known that the gods did not hunt as we do—they got their food from enchanted boxes and jars. Sometimes these are still found in the Dead Places—once, when I was a child and foolish, I opened such a jar and tasted it and found the food sweet. But my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for, often, that food is death. Now, though, I had long gone past what was forbidden, and I entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.
–“By the Waters of Babylon,”

In this passage of Waters of Babylon, the conflicts that the character faces are:

Character Vs. Society, because he is breaking laws when he says: "I had long gone past what was forbidden", the speaker shows that he entering the towers is something that is not allowed in the society, or by people in general.

Character Vs. Character because he faces demons. As the speaker says at the beginning of the excerpt: "When a god or a demon saw me, then I would die." He respects the demons and gods and it shows when he says he will remain stable until one of them finally comes and when he says that, although he is hungry, he will not hunt because it is known that gods did not hunt. He will look in the towers for the gods food.

Character Vs. Nature because his hunger is driving him to take risks. He decided not to hunt, so he will look for the food of the gods inside the towers and he doesn't care if it is forbidden, he is "<em>long past what was forbidden</em>".

What conflict is introduced in this excerpt? The residents of the Kilbarchan Home for Boys may not know how to ride the bicycles
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

There are not enough bicycles for the residents of the Kilbarchan Home for Boys.

Explanation:

Phillip Hoose's short story "Justin Lebo" tells the story of a ten-year-old boy named Justin Lebo who decided to make bikes from worn-out bike parts for a good cause. The struggle and the determination that the young boy had in his aim to make bikes for every single boy in the Home made him a sensation and also provides him the happiness and contention he needed about himself.

In the given passage, Justin and his mother were driving back from the home. His mind was racing for he had only given two repaired bikes for a number of boys in a shelter home. His question <em>"How would all those kids decide who got the bikes?"</em> reveals the main conflict of who gets the two bikes out of the many boys in the home.

Thus, the correct answer is that there are not enough bikes for the boys in the Kilbarchan Home.
