Draft final: DRAFT FINAL 1 Draft Final Oto Gordon Eng 125 Introduction into Literature Instructor Leah Tewell 11/24/2014 DRAFT FINAL 2 Final Draft Introduction There are types of conflicts in writings when we are reading different writings. This paper is an effort to analyze two papers for conflicts in these two papers. I have conduct a conflict analysis of the two text “Story of an Hour” written by Kate Chopin and “The Welcome Table” written by Alice Walker. This is a conflict analysis that was conducted on the basis of the analytical techniques learned in the class. These two texts have different approaches to write their reflection about their relations with their sister or brother. The type of conflict that was focused in this study was the individual to individual conflict that was clearly found in the two texts that we have analyzed. Thesis Statement: There are conflict among the individuals as they approach same thing or different. In writing, the two individuals will not write the same style and they will start and end same type of writing with different styles. Body Type of Conflict: The type of conflict that I have analyzed in this paper is individual to individual conflict. This type of conflict was very obvious in the selected writing as both the individuals have written with different styles. The writers of both the text have used different styles of writing similar type of stories and emotions. They both have different openings and endings for the stories. DRAFT FINAL 3 Difference and Similarities: The main difference or the conflict in the writing was that the Chopin used indirect way of her introduction as she introduced Mrs. Mallard and then told that she is her sister while on the other hand Alice introduced her sister after her introduction. This type of conflict of style is obvious because each individual thing differently and try to converse in that way. This conflict may be because of the audience as the audience of both the stories is different and the author thinks in the way the audience mostly understand or the like introduction to be. Another factor for the this conflict may be because of their sisters because one person may be more famous than her sister and she tries to introduce her sister after her name and other may less famous then her sister so she introduced her sister and then said that she is her sister. Another difference was that Chopin has described the whole story from the start to end while Alice stated the end of story and then told the whole story with parts and explaining each part of the story in sequence. This is also conflict in the story telling that you can start the story from the opening and to the ending with sequences and then in the end explain some meanings of that while the other way is the opening with climax of the story and then tell what was behind this and what was the reasons for that results. In the second type of story telling the part of the story is told and then this part is explained and then the next part is started and the whole story is completed dealing with the parts or aspects of the story not by telling the sequence of the acts and series of events. DRAFT FINAL 4 The main similarity in these two writings is that they are using the indirect language and there is no direct quotation or narrations in both of these stories. These both writings are stories of the authors with their sisters who are ill and they blame someone for their bad health conditions. Techniques used I have used several literary techniques while analyzing these two texts of stories. I have read the tow stories and then reread them two times with questions in mind about the conflicts and tried to find answers about them and also I have used analytical mind while reading these two stories. The other analytical techniques that I have used is the comparison of these two papers with the standard writing that were taught in the class and then check it for selection of words by both of the writers. Both of them used different wording in their writings. Conclusions There is a difference among the writing of the both individuals as they are writing about their emotional stories with their sisters. I have found that two people are different while expressing same type of feelings and stories. They may different types of starting and ending styles we have found in the mentioned papers. These conflicts are natural as the people think differently. This has also something to do with the interest of the writer as he wants to speak in a way that is in his interest.

To help you better understand each conflict and how it might be apparent, examples from popular culture have been provided. Please also note that it is possible for a text to have more than one conflict at work. The repeated references to conflicts in The Simpsons provide further context on how multiple conflicts might be present in a single work. Other examples of conflict are also provided. Click on each type of conflict to learn more. Individual versus Individual Individual versus Nature Individual versus Society Individual versus Technology Individual versus Self Individual versus Individual (Kahn vs. Captain Kirk, Tom vs. Jerry)  Return Example: Homer Simpson’s profound dislike of Ned Flanders in The Simpsons is unavoidably obvious. The two men are as different as night and day. Though Ned Flanders seems unaware that he is Homer Simpson’s antagonist, to everyone who watches, it is obvious that Ned plays this role.  Example: One of the funniest movies about individuals opposing each other is called The Ref, where a cat burglar gets caught in a house with a warring husband and wife. Other members of this dysfunctional family also add to the conflict. View The Ref (1994) fan trailer or explore the film on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). ENG125: Introduction to Literature Individual versus Nature  Return Example: One of the first episodes of The Simpsons features a hilarious scenario in which Homer takes the family camping in the woods. Things end disastrously for Homer and Bart, while Marge, Lisa, and Maggie successfully brave the wild. This episode has an interesting underlying argument at work about the relationship between humans today and nature.  Example: Several books and movies show mountain climbers daring to scale the most formidable and highest mountains on earth where they face extremely difficult climates and terrain. These accounts are usually full of adventure, action, and hardship. Here is an example of human versus mountain in the video Touching the Void Atheism. You may also explore the article “Mt. Everest: Why do people keep climbing it?”  Example: Many horror films feature scary and dangerous animals. One of the most popular movies of all time is Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Watch Crows Attack the Students - The Birds (6/11) Movie CLIP (1963) HD.  Example: One of the most famous American novels, Moby Dick, features Captain Ahab determined to kill the large white whale that took his leg. Individual versus Society (V for Vendetta, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, 1984)  Return Example: In The Simpsons, Homer has had infamously hilarious interactions with politicians. Mayor Quimby comes across as less than effective in his work. As a figure who represents the political system in The Simpsons universe, Quimby’s portrayal makes an argument about the conflict between the individual and society. Additionally, the economics of the working-class Simpson family is often framed against the wealth of Mr. Burns, McBain, and other affluent figures.  Example: A recent movie, Belle, is about a black woman brought up free in an aristocratic home during the years of slavery in England. The story features Belle, the protagonist, and a young lawyer engaged in challenging and ending the slave trade. Belle’s struggle also involves challenging social conceptions of race. Watch the Belle Trailer to explore further. ENG125: Introduction to Literature Individual versus Technology (2001: A Space Odyssey, Modern Times, The Fly)  Return Example: In The Simpsons, Homer is the safety technician at a nuclear power plant, but he is perpetually doing extremely dangerous things. The technology itself is portrayed as immensely complicated. Even in an animated sitcom like The Simpsons, the message about technology and the human being in our current era is multi-layered and complicated.  Example: The best man versus technology movie ever (according to many) is The Terminator, which tells the story of a lethal robot sent back in time to murder the mother of the human army’s leader. View the trailer Terminator 1 Trailer 1984 or explore the Internet Movie Database (IMDB).  Example: The novel Frankenstein can fit in this category since the monster is man-made and seeks to destroy its creator. Individual versus Self (John Nash in A Beautiful Mind, Gregory House in House, Homer Simpson in The Simpsons, Hamlet in Hamlet)  Return Example: In The Simpsons, Homer Simpson is perpetually at battle with himself—his eating habits, his drinking habits, his tendency toward laziness—you name it. He always acts against his own best interests.  Example: In the movie American History X, Edward Norton plays a man who must confront his prejudices, which he does when he is sent to prison for murdering another man. The trailer, American History X - Trailer - (1998) - HQ, shows the character’s personal transformation. You may also explore this further on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB).
