There are four major types of conflict in a story: character versus self, character versus character, character versus society, and character versus nature. In this story, one might argue that the main conflict exists between Della Dillingham and herself (character vs. self) because she agonizes over what to get for her husband, Jim, for Christmas, as well as how to pay for it. She's only been able to save $1.87, and she is heartbroken that she will not be able to get him the kind of gift she feels he deserves: something of which he can be proud. Della wrestles a bit with herself, hence the conflict, eventually deciding to sell her hair in order to have enough money for such a gift.
One might also argue that the main conflict takes place between Della and Jim (character vs. character). Remember that conflict doesn't necessarily mean that one side is good, a hero, and one side is evil, a villain. To be an antagonist in literature means that one is an opposing force, an instrument of plot development, and perhaps an agent of change on the part of the protagonist. In the end, both Della and Jim have sold their most prized possessions in order to purchase something nice for the other, and those sales have rendered the gifts they receive essentially unusable.
Lines 2-12. King is addressing clergymen, an important group especially to him because he has so many other ties and does a lot of work for other religious organizations trying to help people. One of their complaints is that what he is doing is "unwise and untimely".
Lines 17-43: King is in Birmingham because of moral reasons, as he supports with this statement: "<span>I am in Birmingham because injustice is here." He believes injustice is happening and that he can help fix it, which relates to his morality.
Lines 17-43: King uses religious allusions because he is sending this letter to clergymen, who are religious people. This is his direct appeal to his specific audience. And example of religious appeal is when he says "</span><span>Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns...so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town." This is a specific example from the Bible that he is comparing himself to. </span>
The speaker's tone in "Harlem" is best described as frustrated.
The poem's imagery helps to convey this tone. In discussing a deferred dream, Hughes describes a dried up raisin in the sun; a festering sore; stinking, rotting meat; and a sagging, heavy load. At the end of the poem, he wonders if the deferred dream just explodes.
This imagery helps provide the key to understanding the speaker's attitude, or tone, about his subject, the deferred dream. He is frustrated that these dreams are wasted.
