and a bullet whizzed over his head.”
1.
In this event, what type(s) of conflict do you
identify? Explain your reasoning.
Read the following:
“Then round the corner of a side street came an old woman, her head covered by
a tattered shawl. She began to talk to the man in the turret of the car. She
was pointing to the roof where the sniper lay. An informer.”
2.
How does this section create suspense? Explain
why.
Read the following:
“The sniper looked at his enemy falling and he shuddered. The lust of battle
died in him. He became bitten by remorse. The sweat stood out in beads on his
forehead. Weakened by his wound and the long summer day of fasting and watching
on the roof, he revolted from the sight of the shattered mass of his dead
enemy. His teeth chattered, he began to gibber to himself, cursing the war,
cursing himself, cursing everybody.”
3.
Identify and explain the type of conflict shown
in these lines.
Read the following:
“He paused for a moment, considering whether he should risk a smoke. It was
dangerous. The flash might be seen in the darkness, and there were enemies
watching. He decided to take the risk.”

suspense and conflict? Identify the types of conflict and explain.
