ASSIGNMENT #3 - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

1.) Write about one 'CONFLICT' that one of the main characters is having in the novel you are reading.  Be sure to include what type of conflict it is.  You must clearly state the type and details of the conflict.  If you have forgotten, you may go to this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_(narrative).  Please note, that this wikipedia page is not 100% correct.  The different types of conflicts should not say 'MAN VS', it should read 'PERSON VS'.  You must choose one of the conflict types that are listed on the wikipedia page.

2.) Go back to Assignment #1,2, and #3.  Read all of the responses by your classmates.  Then, you must comment on one of the students' blog posts by offering your opinion.  This may be in the form of a suggestion on how they may improve their posts, or in the form of agreement to their post.  You can Tell them that you agree with what they said, however you must also include your reasons why you agree.

  1. One conflict in The Outsiders is a person vs. person conflict where PonyBoy and Johnny battle the Socs. In that battle, the Socs try to drown PonyBoy but Johnny comes in and stabs the Soc that was trying to drown PonyBoy. And later on the Socs and Greasers have one final rumble that will determine who has the greater gang.

  12. One conflict in The Outsiders is a person vs. person conflict between Ponyboy and Dally his big brother. Dally knows that ponyboy is very smart and has potential to have a great life. When Ponyboy comes home one morning and tells Dally he slept over at the lot Dally slaps Ponyboy across the face. Ponyboy thinks Dally dosn't like him but Dally is just protective of him and dosn't want to see him go down the wrong path.

  15. A conflict that happens in the story The Out Siders is a Person Vs. Person conflict. It is when Ponyboy is attacked by a group of Socs (Socs is short for Socials) in a blue mustang. They threaten to cut all of Ponyboys hair off with a sharp blade! He was beaten plenty before his group of greaser buddys (Greaser is a person who wears a leather jacket and puts that through there hair that makes it look "greasy", hence the name "greaser") showed up and chased the socs off and saved Ponyboy from possibly having all his hair cut off.

  17. @jman. I like the conflict you chose. You described it nicely and didn't leave much details out. I like how you used a more person conflict then a physical violent one! :P

    Awesome conflict! I like how you included what Socs stands for (I never knew) and how you described what Greasers are. I especially liked how you described the Socs vehicle and how you described the blade (not just a blade but a sharp blade) and how you didn't leave out most of the details for the conflict.

  19. @ Everyone - It looks like you are all starting to understand what your posts should look like and the details that they should include. I look forward to reading more of your posts and responses! Keep up the excellent work! Remember, the point of blogging your work is not simply to complete the assignments/tasks, but to also read and respond to what other students are writing and to get a better understanding of your story from the perspective of your peers! :)
