October 20 - 24th - Conflict in the Novel

          All stories are based on conflict; if everyone is happy and no one fights, there isn’t much to write about.  What conflicts provide the basis for this story?  Do other conflicts develop as the story goes along?  Are these conflicts settled by the end of ‘Angela’s Ashes’?  How?  Keep in mind the types of conflict we have discussed in class:  Character vs. Character, Character vs. Self, Character vs. Society, Character vs. Nature.
