A lot of people in this world do tend to struggle and have conflicts with themselves, and one another. In this story, a young lady named Peggy and a teenaged boy named James, are having a problem that they are having a hard time figuring out. What’s the problem? Well I’ll tell you as I talk about “The Giants House”. Like all of us, the characters in this story are having conflicts. A conflict is any problem someone is having. For example, “I don’t know if I should go to the store, or go over to my friend’s house and go to the mall to hangout”. People can have many different problems with them self’s, other people, and nature. They are called internal, and external conflicts. One example, in the book Peggy says “I need to find this book, God is telling me to find it!” …show more content…
She is trying to help a teenage boy that wants a book, but she cannot find it. So she then starts to work herself up and starts saying “If I don’t find this book I’m going to be so disappointed. God is telling me to find this book.” When the boy returns, he asks her if she has found the book for him yet. The reason why Peggy can’t find a book for James is because the boy wants a book on “tall people”, but James himself is tall himself, and he wants a book on something about his condition. All the books Peggy found is people in the circus, but she doesn’t want to hurt James
The greatest conflict in the book was Man vs. Man for David, because he had to face his childhood of when his sister June had died due to down syndrome.

In the novel Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff, there are many examples of conflict. The self-conflict in this story is especially striking.
Firstly let us consider conflict. In each act of the play, we see the overpowering desire to belong leading to a climax of conflict amongst the characters, which has the consequence of exclusion. Conflict is a successful literary technique, as it engages the audience and focuses our attention on the issue of conflict and exclusion, brought about by the characters’ desires to be accepted by their community.
Another internal conflict is how Lilly feels responsible for her mother?s death. When she was four, she accidentally shot her mom, and wasn?t able to forgive herself. The reason she runs away in the first place is because her dad tells her that her mom left her, which is both an internal, and man versus man conflict. She?s mad at her dad for saying it, but can?t fully convince herself that it isn?t true. There?s a man versus society conflict when men beat up Rossaleen because of her color, and another internal conflict when May is so overcome with grief that she cant stop crying.
Everyone has dealt with a conflict in his or her lifetime. Most people have multiple conflicts in a single day. How one handles a conflict makes that particular person who they are. In the short story “Raymond’s Run,” the main character, Squeaky, faces many conflicts, including her struggles with her mother, and facing her biggest opponent in a race.
I believe the conflict in the story is an internal one. I think it is the conflict between the old woman's will power and Mother Nature. She encounters many obstacles that would influence most people to give up but she has motivation to get her task done. These encounters include a bush catching onto her dress, a scarecrow frightening her and discouragement from a white man. She also had to climb hills, cross streams and crawl under barbed wire fences which is certainly not considered an easy task for an elderly woman.. If I was forced to deal with these obstacles I know that I would most likely have turned around but her will power was too strong to let Mother Nature win.

The conflict is they do not like each other. This is the problem; the people on the street dislike each other. They all have different backgrounds. Some are Mexican, Italian, Japanese, etc. This story does not have a winner in the conflict. It does not have a winner because new people are going to keep coming and the old people are just going to stay mad so there is no winner.
As you can see, there are a lot of major internal conflicts. However, there are many more not so important conflicts that weren’t listed! Ranging from racism to loneliness, the characters in this novel have gone through a lot, physically and mentally. As the novel progresses all the characters seem to go from a negative, depressed mental state to a positive and loving one. Jefferson dies with courage because Grant was able to crack Jefferson and help him, which also ended up helping himself. Miss Emma and Tante Lou are now at peace thanks to Grant’s affect on Jefferson. The only reason the novel ended with everybody in a positive state of mind is due the decisions and actions made because of the internal conflict.

One conflict is, when little Kaitlyn was younger, she decided to do every last thing that little Kaitlyn’s parents told her not to do. Like if they said don’t touch the over it’s hot.

In a typical family, there are parents that expected to hear things when their teenager is rebelling against them: slamming the door, shouting at each other, and protests on what they could do or what they should not do. Their little baby is growing up, testing their wings of adulthood; they are not the small child that wanted their mommy to read a book to them or to kiss their hurts away and most probably, they are thinking that anything that their parents told them are certainly could not be right. The poem talks about a conflict between the author and her son when he was in his adolescence. In the first stanza, a misunderstanding about a math problem turns into a family argument that shows the classic rift between the generation of the parent and the teenager. Despite the misunderstandings between the parent and child, there is a loving bond between them. The imagery, contrasting tones, connotative diction, and symbolism in the poem reflect these two sides of the relationship.
