Conflicts

Conflicts - What are the major problems? Why are they problems?
Sierra Dehaas- Period 1. The major problem so far in Sarny, is that Sarny has to walk to New Orleans with another slave named Lucy and a little white boy who can't speak. It's a problem because, New Orleans is southwest. There are not freed slaves down there yet. Sarny, Lucy, and the little white child are walking into slave plantations, just to find Sarny's own children. Soldiers are going down towards the area Sarny is going, while all the other freed slaves are walking up north. Another problem is the food source they have. They have a certain supply of food for their long trip. People on the roads, like adult slaves, and slave children, can smell the food they have. As much as Sarny would love to help the others walking up north, she can't. They only have so much food, and if she gave it out to everybody, she wouldn't have enough for her, Lucy, and the little white boy. This is Jordan Lamey and i did not get to that part yet but i do agree that the conflict is finding there children. I did not know a little white child joined in on the search but i agree with what you are saying. The biggest problem is going into New Orleans knowing its not a free state yet and I wonder if a slave owner will capture her.??? ==== This is Samantha Carlson from 5th period. I did not get to the part about the white boy walking with Sarny and Lucy yet either. But i do agree with both of u....that the problem is getting to New Orleans safely. And getting there with enough food, and also making sure that when they do get there that they don't get captured by bounty hunters. ==== This is Michaela Rodo from 7th period. I also did not get to the part with the boy yet, but I do know they are going to New Orleans. Sadly, that place is in southwest, so no slaves are free. Didn't they already eat one whole ham, or do they still have half that ham left? And if they did, they only have one ham left! They will need more food than that. And what about water? And I hope they are not captured or attacked by anybody on the way there, even though that might happen. It's Sierra Dehaas from 1st period. They have a wheel burrow with foods and blankets in it. The little white boy can't speak, at all. He rides in the wheel burrow and Lucy and Sarny take turns pushing it. I would like to know how they can survive without water. I have the same question as you, Jordan. I'm pretty sure, that they still have half of the first ham they ate. If not, they still have corn bread, and the other ham. I'm sure that they will stop at another plantation on their way to get more food. It's Jordan Lamey from pd.3 i got to the part about the little white boy and they are under an oak tree. It is raining and they can't go anywhere because it is to rainy out for them to move. The new conflict is how to get the man to come in and give back her kids. This is Samantha Carlson from 5th period.I agree with you that the conflict right now in the book is that they need to get the man to come out of the house so Sarny can get her kids back. This is Michaela Rodo from Pd 7. I am at the same part as Samantha, sort of. I did not read about the man yet but she is trying to find out if her kids are with him. Sierra Dehaas Period 1. A conflict is a problem between two characters, or one character by itself. An external conflict is a problem between a character and something else outside the main conflict. Conflict in the book- Sarny got her kids taken away from her. How was the conflict resolved- Ms. Laura threw herself a homecoming party and invited the man who took Sarnys kids. 5 words that describe the main character- Brave. Generous. Courageous. Helpful. Thoughtful. This is Jordan Lamey from 3 pd. is this man vs man? A man vs society conflict is when Haggerty a white man burned down Sarny's school because he didn't like the thought of colored people learning. Haggerty then took Stanley, Sarny's husband, and hung him. The resolving end is Haggerty went to jail. 5 words that describe sarny: Can't wait to see Laura, Delie, Stanley, Martin ,tyler, and Nightjohn. t his mean she is ready to pass over. I could easy kill him where he stood. this shows she is willing to fight for her children. This is Samantha Carlson from 5th period. I think that it is man vs. man because Sarny is trying to get her kids back because Mr. Waller sold her two kids to another guy. 5 words that describe Sarny are: Strong, Hard-working, Not a quitter, Brave, and Dependable This is Michaela Rodo from 7th Pd. Conflict: A problem usually caused by two or more characters. I feel like it is a mix of man vs man and man vs society because Sarny is trying to get her children back (man vs man) but that was allowed BY society/law. I could be over thinking it though. Sarny in 5 words: Modest, brave, tough, business thinking, and serious.
