For example, Lena is trying to acquiesce that she is in love and that the government has deceived everyone. The government coerced her to believe that love was

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict with peaceful meanings.” - Ronald Reagen.

One approach to respond to conflict is shown in the thoughts and actions of Anne Frank.

It looks much more cheerful” (Frank 19). This represents a particular action in which Anne made to

We as people get easily carried away in emotions and it drives us to do things we never thought we were capable of. When things do occur it’s hard for us to even want to comprehend that the people we love and trust would do such things harm us, because of that we get tangled up in deception and false truths in order to obtain a peace of mind.

I believe this novel brought up many worthy questions of troubles in life and relationships but I think the main one that the whole novel is surrounded by is: What are you willing to do and believe in order to keep the people you love?

Conflicts play a crucial role in novels. Without conflict, novels would be uninteresting and very dull. Conflicts are seen in many different forms, as internal conflicts, when a character must deal with private problems, and external conflicts, when a character must deal with problems originating from an external source, like another person or society in general. Some common conflicts seen in other novels are person versus society, as in The Scarlet Letter when Hester is forced to face her mistake of adultery due to the obsession of the unforgiving town.

All those moves, all those houses.
Conflict means a struggle or problem between two opposing groups or individuals. There are two types of conflict: internal and external conflict. An internal conflict is a struggle that is internalized and deals with choices, consequences, or emotions. An internal conflict is a man vs. self struggle. An external conflict is a struggle between the protagonist and another character against nature or some outside force. External conflicts are either man verses man, man verses nature, or man verses society. Various examples of internal and external conflicts can be shown in Guy de Maupassant’s “The Necklace,” Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” and O.Henry’s, “The Gift of the Magi.”
