Read the passages from "A Smart Cookie" by Sandra Cisneros and from "An Hour with Abuelo" by Judith Ortiz Cofer. You want to know why I quit school? Because I didn’t have any nice clothes. No clothes, but I had brains. Yup, she said disgusted, stirring again. I was a smart cookie then. Abuelo then puts the notebook down on his lap and closes his eyes. "Así es la vida [that’s the way life is] is the title of my book," he says in a whisper, almost to himself. As Esperanza’s mother and Arturo’s abuelo talk about their choices, what do they have in common? They are happy as they talk about their choices. They are regretful as they talk about their choices. They are unconcerned as they talk about their choices. They are indifferent as they talk about their choices.

  the conflict is the challenge the main character need to solve to achieve their goals, is the major literary element because creates challenges in the story by addin uncertainty to if the goal would be achieved. in the story could be more than a single conflict, in fact, most of the stories have a diversity of them. the resolution creates a closure that may or may not be the end of the story.

  the confict involves stories where characters are against each other, is an external conflict, as in a gun fight or a robbery or it could be more subtle between the desires of the characters as in a love story. this type of conflict is very common in traditional literature, fairy tales and myths.

  is an external conflict between the character and an animal or a force of nature, like a tornado,a storm or even a rain. a great example of this is ernest hemingway´s "the old man and the sea"   in which the main character struggle with a marlin when he was fishing.

  in this case the conflict is internal, the character must overcome her or his own nature or make a choice between two paths.

  i hope the answer is correct and you. regards

happy new year to yo!
