Finding Conflict in Fences.
Directions: On a
separate sheet of paper, you need to:
1. Identify
two different types of conflict (Person versus self, person versus person etc.)
in the play.
2. Next, you need to identify a line from the
text that for each conflict you identified.
3. Then, explain how the quote shows an
example of that conflict.
Example:
Person versus self.
In the story, Mark dealt with his own internal struggles
with drug use and the fact that he knew that his actions were affecting
everyone around him. This weighed very heavy on his conscience. An example of
this conflict is in the line on page 24, that states, “My head swirled again as
I had another craving. But, I thought of my little brother and the fact that he
was waiting for me.” This line proves Mark’s conflict within himself. He was
struggling with the pain of addiction as all he wanted to do was use, but was
conflicted by the thoughts of his brother and the dangers of letting him down.
English 9: Today students worked on revisions for their Anthem writing project. Here is the checklist that I gave students today:
Name:_____________________
Directions: If
you received a PP+ or lower, you are required to complete a revision of your
writing project. You will need to revise each section of the writing project on
a separate sheet of paper that you will staple to the original. If your revision does not get you up to a P-,
I will ask you to complete an essay. Follow this checklist to ensure your
project is complete.
