1. Explain the conflict in a story you've read. Then evaluate how effectively the conflict creates specific emotions in you, the
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The story I chose is On a Mountain Trail by Harry Perry Robinson.

There are two characters in this story, Jack and Gates, and Jack is the one who narrates the story. The conflict is that when they are going to Gulch City they get stuck in the mountain's trail because twenty (or even thirty, they don't know) wolves attack them and they have to defend their selves.

When you read the story you feel that it's impossible for them to get away of that situation. Jack has a gun and he shots many times but then he realises he has only one shot left and that makes you feel hopeless. At the same time, Gates says he feels awful because there's only one shot left and they can't kill themselves (he says he doesn't want to be killed by wolves).

Fortunately, they can scape and they leave the conflict behind. I believe the conflict in this story is built correctly and that you can really tell how the characters are feeling while the conflict is happening. However, I think it would be good to get to know the characters more so anyone could relate to them better.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to choose a story and then explain the story's conflict giving examples and giving a complete answer.

I chose the story On a Mountain Trail by Harry Perry Robinson, which is about a particular situation in the mountain's trail where the characters of the story have to defend their selves.

It's important to tell how you feel while reading the story because that reflects if the conflict was interesting and well written.
