For next week, please read pages 140-186 (Chapters 31-42) of Holes.
In class, we talked about the four different types of conflict that can be in stories:
- Person-against-self - an internal conflict of feelings.
- Person-against-person - the typical protagonist vs. antagonist scenario.
- Person-against-society - the protagonist battles against the larger organizations of society (or a system of beliefs held by society).
- Person-against-nature - the protagonist is threatened by a component of nature.
For homework, please choose one conflict that you see in the novel. Write an essay that gives three detailed examples of how this conflict is present in the book. You can use examples from the beginning all the way to chapter 42.
Here is some additional research to do: Does the yellow-spotted lizard really exist?
Have fun!
