    A conflict in literature is any struggle between two opposing forces. The main conflict in the story was an external conflict which is a struggle between the main character and outside force. Madame Loisel lost the necklace, so she has to sacrifice her way of living to give back what she lost. Madame Loisel decides that she isn’t going to tell her friend that she lost her necklace because the pride that she has won’t let her. As a result of her dishonesty, she and her husband work off all of the money they borrowed to replace the necklace. Maupassant wrote, “Mme Loisel now knew the horrible life of necessity. She did her part, however, completely, heroically. It was necessary to pay this frightful debt. She would pay it. They sent away the maid; they changed their lodgings; they rented some rooms under a mansard roof” (164). Many parts of this story involved mostly internal conflict with the way that Madame Loisel thought of herself compared to everyone else and her discontent with the way that she is living. When her husband thought that her cooking was spectacular, she was ashamed of how boring her cooking was because she was unable to afford anything else. Monsieur Loisel thinks getting into a high-class party would be a wonderful thing; she only sees it as another chance to embarrass herself and show everyone what she doesn’t have. She is only happy with jewels when…

    When discussing conflict everyone has their own definition, but it would generally be agreed that it requires a disagreement between individuals within a group. However, my definition of conflict would be a mental struggle between the character and a clash between two or more characters with different interests. A conflict presents itself in various forms. It may also come willingly or unwillingly affecting a person's mind or a person's actions. A conflict can either be a blessing or a curse.

    Characterization is the combination of all the things and author does to create the personality of a character in a piece of literature. For example, throughout the story, the read learns a lot about the character of Jack. We learn that he is a very determined young boy. He does not like to give up when he fails; he likes to keep going until he is successful. In the beginning of the novel, Ralph, Jack, and Simon come across a pig and Jack wants to kill it for meat. Jack attempts to kill it and fails, but he becomes very determined to kill one before they left the island. During chapter three, entitled "Huts on the Beach," Jack is once again not successful in the killing of the pig and becomes sad all over again. He stabs the pig but is unable to kill it. Throughout chapter seven, the boys are still trying to hunt down the pig but he gets away, once again. Finally, during chapter eight, the pig is finally killed. Jack becomes determined and awfully savage, killing the pig with his boys after torturing him continuously. (page 138) This proves the quote is valid because it shows that Jack kept failing along with the other boys, and his characteristic of determination kept him going until he learned from it and…

    Characterization is a literary element used by the author to present qualities of characters in a literary piece, the purpose of characterization is to make characters credible and make them suitable for the role they play in the work.

    These authors use characterization as a literary element. For example in the story Nethergrave, Jeremy’s parent’s characterizations have abandoned and neglected Jeremy emotionally for the majority of his life. It is different for his friends, as for Jeremy’s online friends it is insecure and worried about how others view them, as Jeremy appears to be. The guys do not show the whole truths about who they really are, they are all thinking that is the only way that the rest of them will accept them. There are things about each of the people in the group that Jeremy does not know of. Characterization in Sound of Thunder was Eckels nervousness, it shows this by many of his actions for example, Ray Bradbury writes “Eckels swayed on the padded seat, his face pale, his jaw stiff. He felt the trembling in his arms, and he looked down and found his hands tight on the new rifle.” (70) Once the time machine returns with Eckels and some employees, things seem to be very different to him. Eckels can’t read the sign and when he ask’s a strange man who won the presidential election, the man tells Eckels that a another candidate is in office. The man says “You joking? You know very well. Deutscher, of course!”(460) This candidate was the one who was President when he left. Those are a couple ways both authors use characterization in their…
