Prompt:
Brainstorm the different types of conflicts via your Google doc,
creating a chart that addresses the conflict, types of conflict, and the
effect that the conflict has had on the plot so far. From your brainstorming session, choose at least two conflicts to
explore more in depth in this blog. Be sure to include textual evidence
and support and also identify the effect that the conflict has had on the plot so far.
Second Conflict: Lennie vs. Curley
One conflict that I noticed was that Crooks wasn't accepted into the farm. I saw this because he often mentioned that no one wanted him to be around because he was 'black'. This affects the story because he can relate to the other characters and make the reader maybe feel sorry for them. Like the bad things about them or there faults. Like Curley's wife, how she gets separated from them because she is a girl. In the story he says that no one wants him to play cards with him because hes black. This shows how much racism was going on at the ranch. He all alone against all the white men on the ranch.
The second conflict that I noticed was Lennie and Curley. In the story I think Candy had said that Curley didn't like big guys. Thats why immediately there was that tense feeling in the bunkhouse when Curley first met Lennie. Then afterwords Curley kept sending mean glances or glares while Lennie was scared and tried to hid from him. After awhile it all lead up to the fight that happened between them and caused Lennie to crush Curley's hand.
I commented on:
I think this was a good blog because you had textual evidence in your blog. But one thing I do suggest is adding what kind of conflict was in the story like Man vs. Man, Man vs. Self, and Man vs. Society. But, overall I think this was a good blog.
