The main conflict is defeating the storm.
Actually a convergence of three storms onto one Geographic location. Yikes!
Other conflicts include the shrimper's need to make more money by taking one last trip out to sea even though it was the dangerous season. The shrimper's wives obviously don't want them to go out again as they worry and don't like to be alone.
The shrimp boat owner encourages one last trip as he wants more money as well.
The shrimpers risk losing their jobs if they refuse to make the last trip.
Beowulf is battling against evil because he sailed to the Danes to rescue them from Grendel. It is evident in lines 195 onwards to fight Grendel. SO when the night came, Beowulf and his warriors waited in the hall for Grendel to come. Together with his warriors, they sailed to help King Hrothgar defeat Grendel who continued to kill his men.
I would say the writer is using irony in Arrangement in Black and White to emphasize the woman's contradictions that basically while she says she loves "colored" people then she says she loves them because they are "just like children" always singing and laughing so while she says she loves them she shows she has a condescending attitude towards them even though later on she says basically we are all humans aren't we so is obviously of two minds.
