Conflicts

Conflicts - What are the major problems? Why are they problems? one problem is that Tilly's family is letting these two women stay with them. They have no idea who they are. That is making some of the the people in their neiboorhood to wonder. Some of the people even came and was talking to Tilly's mom about the whole thing.

external conflict -a problem that a character has with something outside the story. it could be with the environment, man vs. nature, or it could be with another character. An example of external conflict in the story is that Tilly says the battle of bull run made yankees out of all of us because it was going to take every one of us to win it. The way it was resolved at the end of the book was that Tilly and Delphine went to save Noah from the was in Cario. -Loren :)

 * Internal conflict **- a problem that is inside the character. An example of an internal conflict in the story is that Mama is so worried about Noah and she tells Tilly that she can spare her but not Noah, which is like saying she would kill Tilly for Noah. So Tilly does what she says but when she comes home with Noah she finds that her mother killed herself in the river because a coffin came that had their papa in it....but mama thought it was Noah. I think Tilly is the main character. She is brave, responsible, intelligent, she grew up quickly, and she is more proper than she was in the beginning of the book.
