The conflict in the short story Condensed milk is survival in a Gulag, hunger, and desperation.

Explanation:

The story follows Shestakov, a camp geologist who asks a miner to help him escape the Gulag. The miner knows the task is impossible but because he is hungry he agrees to do it in exchange for 2 cans of condensed milk.

Many prisoners attempt to escape with Shestakov but are captured and some of them are killed.

In this story, the miner walks into sure death just to have condensed milk once. The desperation and perennial hunger of the gulags pushed him to trade his life for some food that is usually a staple in normal people's lives.

This hunger and desperation is the main conflict of the story.

Your father has just built a new house for the family.Write a letter to your elder brother who lives abroad describing the new h
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Dear Bro,

How are you in New Zealand? It's been a long time since we talk to each other. The purpose of my writing to you is that recently, dad, mum, Samantha and I just moved to new house.

This new house was modelled by mum few years back after you left us to further your studies. Dad and some of his colleagues built up this house within a year. This house's design is slightly different from our previous house. It is a single-storey bungalow house, the backyard is very big and we had installed CCTVs and alarms. Dad also bought ATV vehicle for me to ride at the backyard. The only thing that I don't like about this house is that, it is very hard for us to clean up because the house is very big and I can't image for the rest of the days, mum will start nagging at us which I really don't like.

That's all for my writing. I can't wait for you to come back to reunite with us and play with me as Samantha is too young to play with me.

Yours Love,

Little Sis
