Conflict and resolution


Author’s Note: The Author’s purpose is to inform the reader on the conflict and resolution in the story “Thank you Ma’am” by Langston Hughes, and what I think of it.

The main conflict in the story “Thank you Ma’am” by Langston Hughes is the boy tried to steal her purse and gets caught so she brings him home. Now he has to make the decision to run away from her or stay in the house. As time goes on he starts wanting the old lady to trust him, and he is starting to trust her that she won’t turn him in to the police.

He keeps looking at the wide open door while she isn’t watching and thinking about dashing but he finally realizes that she trusts him not to run from her and to stay put.

The resolution to the main conflict is that he stays in the house and the old lady just lets him go but tells him not to steal anymore bags from people. Also, she gives him ten dollars for his shoes.

Daniel had just moved to his new house in Noble’s Green, The safest Town on Earth, he meets his new friends but there is something unusual about them. As time goes on he learns their secret, and figures out that he is the key to saving them from their problem. I though that this book was fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy or mystery books.

Dead Men's Path

Author’s Note: My purpose to writing the current writing piece is to inform the world on what I think of the story Dead Men’s Path.

My reaction to the book Dead Men’s Path was complicated. At first I didn’t really understand what was going on and what the book was about, but as it went on I got a full understanding of it and that’s when I was able to make a reasonable opinion on the book. After that my reaction to it all was upset, mostly about then end when he woke up and the school was just a disaster. Then the white inspector came and wrote a bad report on it all. I was in relation with the white inspector when it was mostly about the war that was going on between them and how it was basically, stupid. I thought that it was really great how he went from being a kid born in Nigeria, then becoming an author for adult and children books. Then he even comes back to participate as a professor in the school.
