Conflict

Conflicts - What are the major problems? Why are they problems?  One of the main conflicts is the people of Illinois, especially Tilly's family, is not ready for the war. Everyone in her family is worried how the civil war is going to effect them. The only person who isn't worried is Tilly's brother, Noah. Every day he marches with the soldiers, but I'm not sure he's actually fighting in the war.

I's Mary, Noah is involved with the war somehow, but I'm not sure he is fighting yet. At the very end of the second 50 pages, it says how much Tilly an Noah's mother wants Noah back at their house. She wants Tilly to go find him and not come home until he is with Tilly. She even says, "I can spare you, but I can't spare him." Does that mean that she doesn't care about Tilly, only Noah? I think she is going crazy because of the war and Noah being involved with it.

 I figured out that Noah did enlist in the war. I think he always wanted to be in the war. This ties into the main conflict. The conflict is Man vs Man conflict. Tilly's family, the Pruitt family is worried about the war, and they don't want Noah to get hurt or killed in the war. The conflict was resolved when Delphine and Tilly went to get Noah and bring him from the war in Cairo, Illinois. Unfortunately, Noah did lose one of his arms in the war, just like Cass had seen in her vision. Their father had died in the war, but even Tilly stated she was more worried about Noah because her father never really was her father.

Yes, and it said that her father ended up fighting for the South, against Noah. Another conflict was man vs society, which is external conflict. External conflict is a person against an outside force. The whole story is about the Civil War which is the North vs the South. All of the people living in the South were against the people living in the North. The conflict was resolved by the war ending. Also, I put man vs man because of Cass and her visions. They torment her and make her kind of depressed in a way. It's not really resolved because she ends up dying anyway.I think Tilly is strong, brave, caring, helpful, and also motherly. I think she is motherly because she took care of Noah when he was in the war, and she also takes care of Cass.
