Blog #3--Conflict and Resolution
Final Blog!
Your last post focuses on the ending of your novel. Authors of YA fiction attempt to make their stories exciting by incorporating twists and conflicts in the plot in order to keep the interest of their readers until the very end. At the same time the stories need to be realistic and believable.
Conflict is the central struggle or problem of a narrative, which moves the plot forward and motivates the protagonist (main character). Conflict is an important element of fiction because the readers can learn from the successes and failures of the main character and apply the lessons learned to their own life.
Now that you have finished reading your novel, you should understand how the main character dealt with his/her problems. Conflict can be between two or more characters, it can situational, and sometimes the decision the character makes to solve (deal with, or get out of) one problem leads to another problem.
Think about the major problems that occurred in your novel. Explain what the major issue was and how it was resolved by the end of the novel.
Don't forget to write a question at the end of your blog for your classmates to respond to!
