The biggest conflicts that the teens in freaks and geeks face are parent issues, bullying, and trying to fit in. I say these are the main ones because of how they act during the episodes. I have went through these before. I have been through the bullying by others which was hard to fight through. Also i have been through the parent issues some too. But the main one is trying to fit in. One conflict would be the parent issues. Just like lindsey, i have went through the issues between myself and my parents. I say this because in the episode lindsey’s parents always wanted her perfect and do good. Well today my parents are always on me to do good in school. They push me to do the best i can. With all this it can be really hard to do things. The second conflict would be bullying by others. Just like sam and his friends being bullied in gym class i have been bullied as well. I have been made fun of and picked on by others. From even the simplest things to the ones that can hurt even go through the heart. The things people say and can do to you can be awful. They do things but then they don’t realize what the people they make fun of have been through within their life times. …show more content…
this is the most important one within the episodes, especially with lindsey. In the episode, lindsey tries her best to fit in. but then she finally realizes that the people she trys to fit in with isn’t the kind of people she wants to be around. Im similar because i try to be friends with people but they be nice then turn around and backstabs. I try to fit in with people but then realize that they are just pretending to be my friends. I even go to be by myself sometimes just because i dont feel like they are actually true friends. Sometimes all you can do is just stay to yourself like me. Because if not then you are just going to be some person to the people that say they are your
First, the author uses conflict to show what the characters have to overcome throughout the course of the story, such as Mrs. Baker forcing Holling to do chores at school and
Outer conflict: There were littler conflicts too like when a stranger came to Matt’s home and stole his gun. Another one is when Matt was stuck under water and was drowning. A final one is when Matt and Attean ran into a bear and were forced to kill it. Inner conflicts: One inner conflict with Matt was he was concerned about his dad making it home safely and getting their family. Another inner conflict was with the Indians, because he had heard that the Indians were savages and animals. A final inner conflict is when Matt was praying that his mom was doing well after giving birth to Matt’s newest
The second conflict I found was character vs. self. Prue is fighting with herself about being able to unite the two makers of the Mobius Cog. She’s afraid that she wasn’t meant for this job and that innocent people have died for a hopeless cause. Prue thinks that she can’t save the people
Explain how the conflict arises and go on to discuss in detail how the writer uses it to explore an important theme.
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.
This makes it hard to identify just one internal conflict because it each character has their own internal struggles. So to focus this paper I will focus on my favorite character Hazel Levesque. Hazel has a boyfriend named Frank who is an demigod on the ship with her. However, she is from the past, and she liked Sammy, who is the grandfather of Leo, who is also on the ship. In the previous book, this wasn’t a problem, but she sees traits in Leo that remind her of Sammy. This causes hazel to become torn between two people, Frank and Leo. This is a character versus self-conflict. Just like Hazel, at some point, we all have to make a decision between two things. They might not be about love, but usually, they will be important. Hazel represents these types of decisions and how we deal with them. She can become a role model for all of us to follow when we make our
Central Conflict: The major conflict is the external conflict between townspeople and Tom Robinson & Atticus Finch. The conflict is the trail of Tom Robinson. He was accused for something he hasn’t done but nobody believed him because he was black. Atticus , who was his lawyer, defended him against others. He had shown evidence that Tom Robinson was innocent and Bob Ewell was the one who beat Mayella. But the jury wasn’t convinced so they delivered a guilty verdict.
Another major conflict is Steve is struggling to find out who he really is, what did he do, what is real and what is a lie he made to comfort himself? Steve is also struggling to cope with who he has become. This is an internal conflict. Steve is fighting with himself to find out who he has become and cope with that. 9.
Branching from that, Stella has an inner conflict because she does not know whether to side with her husband or her sister in each situation. Blanche and Mitch have a conflict because their original plans of getting married are destroyed when Stanley reveals her past.... ... middle of paper ... ... Blanche came to town on a streetcar because she was ostracized in her old home as a result of her desires.
Not many classes have topics of which students can relate to easily and can find something to help them understand the ideas better. In our class we watch the show Freaks and Geeks to help us better understand sociology. At first, I wasn’t quite sure how this show set back in the 1980s would help me understand what we were discussing in class, but it turned out to really be a valuable asset in helping the class. The show perfectly displays the themes of the self, the looking-glass self, and in and out groups which we confered about.
Firstly, one of the many ways conflict develops the characters’ is through their struggles with each other. At the beginning of the novel, Keisha’s struggle with Ms. Hill introduces her character into the novel. One day, Keisha is called down to the office alongside other Primm students, she secretly hopes it is because of her application to Avery University. In reality, the students are called down to the office because Ms. Hill has put them into SCARF (Save the Children At-Risk Foundation), because of this Keisha is now unable to apply for Avery. Keisha gets into an argument about Avery with Ms. Hill which escalates fairly quickly: “I needed to get to her head. My fingers curled around her long, hay-looking hair and I snatched my hand back
The conflict that appears to be most prevalent is appearance vs. reality. Loretta seemed to be a friendly neighbor when in fact she was more interested in what new information she could gossip about. For example, she asked Edie personal questions about the Peebles. The Peebles were ignorant of Loretta's true motives. It appeared to Edie that Chris was her true love when in reality it was the mailman she would marry and fall in love with. Similarly, the mailman believed Edie was always waiting for him at the mailbox when in actuality she was waiting for her letter from Chris. [Nice Point] False appearances can make it hard to d...
What is the major conflict? What is the dramatic action? The major conflict was that Margaret and Brick have issues in their lives. Brick seems to ignore Margaret all the time even when Margaret has some meaningful thought in their communication. Brick always discounts Margaret.
Conflict first arises when Blanche arrives at the Kowalski household and Stanley's authority over his home is questioned. Stanley has always had authority and control of his home and also his wife Stella. When Blanche arrives he feels that he is being invaded and doesn't agree with it. His "rat race" style of life doesn't match with Blanches but has somehow converted Stella. One of the main themes about conflict is that Stanley and Blanche are in a battle to win Stella and neither of them will give her up.
Myths of adolescence are perpetuated because adults do not spend the time and effort learning about normal, expected changes during this period. It is much easier for us to put a label on people rather than to try to understand them. The teen years are truly "high speed, high need" years. Here are some concepts of conflict and some areas to look out for.
