In "Home Place Retold," we find out about the Mennonites, a Christian separatist group that came from Europe in the early days of the development of America. Among these families, it was common for siblings from one family to marry siblings from a neighbouring family. The reason was that, often, communities were very small, both due to their initial reduced numbers and their high mortality rate. This meant that there was very little choice of partner because of the small population. As the number of people grew, these practices became less common.

Write a paragraph explaining the conflict and the perspectives of the protagonist and antagonist. Review the example in the less

icang [17]

Answer: In _______________ by_____ The main conflict appears to be weithere or not the kids are in the presence of alien life. The protagonist faces the issue of her seeing something that nobody else has, and this leads to the antagonists perspective, of not really believeing her. This bothers the protagonist, and she becomes obsessive over the topic. When the protagonist states "I spent the last six years waiting and researching. If we don't see the light, I'll admit I'm wrong. But if it happens again, with all of us here, it'll prove the alien is in this room." that really puts her obsession in the light. The antagonists reveal their lack of belief through them saying things like "and you're sure?". " you expect us to wait here all night" and the antagonists constantly getting destracted with romantic gossip.
