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:
The poem is a literary ballad, inspired by the folk ballads of medieval times. It is possible to observe several characteristics typical of a ballad, as the centralization in a single event (the story of the lady reported by the knight), presentation of the story through a dialogue (in the first three stanzas, the unknown narrator is talking to the knight, and the rest of the poem is the knight's response), use of few figures of language as metaphors and metonymy, and creation of an atmosphere (at the beginning of the poem, the narrator describes the nature as dead), and little information about the characters.
