The fighting Ground Conflict response.

Authors Note: This is a response to a conflict in the beginning of a book called"The Fighting Ground"


One Conflict in my book that I am describing is whether or not Jonathon is going to go fight in the war. His dad doesn’t approve of him going to war which only drives Jonathon more. Since his father doesn’t want him to he asks his mom if he can go in to town to see if there is any new news about the British troops. She reluctantly lets him go, but makes him promise to come back after he hears the news. Jonathon goes into town seeing it as a way to get into the war. So when he gets down into town the new news is that there are redcoats coming this way and they need everyone they can get to help fend them off. Hearing this Jonathon volunteers and goes off into battle without his parents knowing.

I do not think doing this is a smart idea because Jonathon doesn’t know what war is really like and is going to get hurt. Jonathon has good intentions because all he really wants to do is please his dad when really all he needs to do to please his dad is help out around the house. Over all this conflict did not get resolved because Jonathon neither pleased nor helped the situation at home.
