Conflict creates tension and interest in a story by adding doubt as to the outcome. Here, conflict will divide in three stories in three types. Man vs. man, Man vs. society, Man vs. nature in this stories: After 20 years, the scarlet ibis, and A letter from Gazza.

One is an officer, the other is a criminal. The main conflict is in the police officer. He promised to meet his old friend twenty years earlier, and he was there. It was a testament to their friendship that both men were there. But he realized when the man lit the match that his old friend was a criminal who was wanted in Chicago. He is a police officer.

You can say there is a conflict between man and society because the society asks the officer to catch the criminals which his friend is one of them. If the officer let his friend leave there will a problem between society and him. So the officer should take the right decision and don’t lose the society and also don’t lose his best friend. So, if you had a a friend and he is the best friend to you, he became a criminal, what should you do if you an officer? I think I would do the same what Bob and Jimmy did.
Finally, I think the officer found the true choice to choose and don’t catch his friend but let another one catch him because the law is above the friendship, although of that he still respects his best friend but the law is the …show more content…

Doodles brother is responsible for the death of his own brother. Three big reasons that led me to believe this is that he always wanted doodle gone from the beginning, he was ashamed and very embarrassed of having a disabled brother, and that he only helped doodle for his own personal benefit. All of those show why he left his brother in that storm to die. From doodles birth his brother never liked him or cared about him and wanted him gone. One example is “i began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.”
