Explain The Main Conflict In The True Confessions Of Charlotte Doyle
In the novel The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi the main conflict in this book is that Charlotte does not know who to trust. The crew is sketchy and so is the captain. I think this because on page 38-39 Zachariah told Charlotte “The captain punished Mr. Cranick. Punished him hard. Mr.Cranick has but one arm now.” This made Charlotte have confusing emotions about both Zachariah and Captain Jaggery. Especially that Zachariah gave her the dirk [The knife] to protect herself she is now scared of what will happen and that they want revenge. This relates to the theme because the dirk scares her and could trust the wrong person then hurt someone that was good. Another reason this is the main conflict because since they all want revenge

    Authors often have a very good reason for choosing a particular personality for their story’s narrator. Scout was a vital character in the novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Her impartial outlook on life and people was highly voluntary in order to produce the theme and message that Harper Lee was sending to her readers. Many of the events in the story would not have happened or would have occurred very differently if the novel was told through the eyes of an adult narrator. Even though Scout’s narration is often faulty or inaccurate, her innocence often allows readers to see the events and characters in the novel more clearly.…

This wraps it up pretty well, if the services you provide for example is Palm tree trimming, you wouldn’t market to homes in Buffalo, NY, but instead market to San Diego, Ca. Mercedes Benz has been known as a high-end exclusive luxury car, that usually comes with a pretty unapproachable price tag, with some models ranging between 75-100k. Recently Mercedes Benz decided to utilize a different target segment that they have never done before. To the average adult person, marketing the all-new Mercedes Benz CLA with a price tag under 30k probably made them a little suspicious. They are targeting to the middle-class, instead of the upper. Mr. Peter M. De Lorenzo (2013) a journalist, and market strategy expert explains, The Mercedes-Benz USA brain trust led by Steve Cannon earnestly believes that the buyers being lured in by the enticingly low sticker price of the CLA will stick with the brand and eventually become Mercedes…
