Conflict and Character in Mildred Taylor's The Land
Question 9 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC
Read the excerpt from The Land.There were other boys too who picked on me, but Mitchell was the worst. I recall one time in particular when I was about nine or so and I was reading beside a creek on my daddy's land, and Mitchell came up from behind me and just whopped me on the head. For no reason. Just whopped me on the head!
Answer
A
physical – character versus character
B
physical – character versus nature
C
social – character versus character
D
social – character versus society
Explanation
Mitchell physically hits the narrator, so the conflict involves bodily force between two characters. This is a physical character-versus-character conflict, not a conflict with nature or with society. The correct choice is “physical – character versus character.”
