The Melting Pot
Every story will have a conflict and a conflict always has to have a resolution which involves a winner. There is always a good and bad side and one of them has to come out on top. In these two stories, “7th grade” and “The Melting Pot”, each have a winner or a resolution to the problem or conflict either an external or an internal.
In “Seventh Grade”, the type of conflict is internal, because of all the sequences happening in Victor’s mind. In “The Melting Pot” the conflict is external because of all the sequences happening between the people of the town. In the story “Seventh Grade”, The conflict is Victor tries to be someone else to impress
Teresa. He tries to pretend he knows French, but as he gets called out, he realizes the stupid thing …show more content…
he just did. But because of Mr. Bueller’s nice act, he gets away with it and now he has to study really hard so it is not like he’s lying to her.
Because of that Victor gets what he wants, the girl, and so does Mr. Bueller, getting both Teresa and victor to study. So, both of them are the winners in this story and this helps you learn not to try to be someone else, but be who you were made to be and people will probably like you more and if they do not, then they are having the same problem as you were.
In the story, “The Melting Pot”, the conflict is the town and its different people and they all have trust issues with one another. They do not exactly despise each other, they just do not agree with one another and they do not get along because of that. They all are immigrants who have come from different places, religions, and cultures and they do not understand or agree with anyone unless they are part of their “group” or culture. Old immigrants think that the newcomers are raising the rent, but honestly, the newcomers are having to pay it to. There is one thing that they agree on that brings the resolution, they all can agree that the town is dirty and messed up and needs to be fixed back into shape. So, the winners in this story are the whole town, they can come together and work together to talk and
fix the town themselves. They are making a family and do not even know it.
So, both of these stories have differences and similarities. They both have winners or someone who comes out on top and overcomes the problem. Both of these stories had problems and solutions, but somehow overcame them. In “The
Melting Pot” that is just how it is, they have to work together to solve the problems they had against each other. In “Seventh Grade”, all he had to do was be himself, but because of one mistake, he had to share his victory with the teacher. So, as you can see, both of these stories have problems... but a problem will always have someone or something to turn around and kick it in the butt and take all of the glory.
