Point of View Springboard
“You are not paid to be idle,” the captain oftendeclared, and he setting an example, was neverslack in his duty. Even at our teas he was vigilant –again, so like my father – and patiently examinedme as to what I had seen, heard, or even thought –always ready with quick and wise correction…
Mr. Keetch when summoned [by the captain] wouldscuttle quickly to his side, nervous, agitated, thatlook of fear about him…
Mr. Hollybrass, the first mate, would approachslowly, seeming to take his own silent surroundingsabout the captain’s demand. He might lift hisshaggy eyebrows as if to object, but I never heardhim actually contradict the captain in words. Indeedthe captain would only repeat his commands, andthen Mr. Hollybrass would obey.

The True Confession of Charlotte Doyle
Conflict is the struggle between
opposing forces.
The conflict may be an internal one. It
may be inside a person, such as an
attitude or feeling that must
be changed.
Outer conflicts can be...
Between people.
Between people and an organization
or idea.
Between people and outside forces,
such as nature.

Identifying Conflict
Example #1
A storm was making, moving out of those mysterious beltswhich lie north and south of the equator, the home ofhurricanes. The wind shifted a point, bringing with it aheavy squall. Mafatu lowered the sail on the run andgripped the steering paddle with hands that showed whiteat the knuckles... Like advance schouts of an oncomingarmy, wind gusts moved down upon the canoe, struck itsavagely.
-Armstrong Perry, Call it Courage
Example #2
Background: True son is a white boy who has been raised by the
Lenni Lenape Indians. Now, at age 15, he is being returned to his
white family as part of a treaty.
Ever since, he had been True Son, the blood of Cuyloga[True Son’s Indian father] and flesh of his flesh... Then,how could he be torn from his home like a sapling from theground and given to the alien whites who were his enemy!...Never would he give up his Indian life. Never!

Identifying Conflict
Example #3
Background: Kino, a poor fisherman who has found a great pearl, is
pursued by men who want to steal it.
“They have taken the pearl. I have lost it. Now it is over, he[Kino] said. “The pearl is gone.”
Juana [Kino’s wife] quieted him as she would a sick child.“Hush,” she said. “Here is your pearl. I found it in thepath. Can you hear me now? Can you understand?... Youhave killed a man. We must go away... We must be gonebefore daylight comes.”
“I was attacked,” Kino said uneasily. “I struck to save mylife.”

Figurative Language Projection Master #1
Figurative Language
Writers use words to create images or pictures for
the reader. To create these images, writers
provide details of sight, sound, taste,
smell, hearing, and movement.
Writers often use figurative language to create these
images. Unusual comparisons are made through
the use of figurative language, which cause the
reader to look at things in a new way.
The three most common kinds of figurative
language are similes, metaphors, and
personification. Another kind of
figurative language is the
hyperbole.
