These are three elements that nearly every story has. "Night of the Satellite," in many ways is a classically structured story w/ each of these elements positioned in fairly traditional ways. "After the Flood" is a bit less conventional, but I think we could probably pinpoint similar moments in this story too. If you don't know what these terms mean, no worries, we'll discuss them in more detail tomorrow night.
"After the Flood" The conflict in this story was the reverend who insisted a couple stay with the family. Another conflict is the flood destroys there home
ReplyDeletethe climax is when we realized the daughter and grandchild died because the father killed them.
The resolution was removing themselves from church to avoid the pushy nosy reverend
The conflict would be after the Reverend Judy asked if they can take in the Djukanovics. The climax seemed to be the moment the Djukanovics pulled into the driveway that triggered Robert into fleeing to the basement for some reason.
ReplyDeleteResolution would have to be when the Djukanovics moved out.
One of the conflicts was when Mrs. Evarts was skeptical about inviting the Djukanovics into her home, especially after a botched first impression with Mr. Djukanovic. (pg. 46)
ReplyDeleteI believe the climax is when both Mr. and Mrs. Evarts are downstairs talking about what they plan on doing with their daughter's and granddaughter's things. I felt like they were withholding emotion in that situation. (pg. 55)
The resolution is when Mr. and Mrs. Evarts decide to stop going to church, and Mr. Evarts chooses something different to eat for a change. (pg. 64)
Conflict: the flood causing the Djukanovics to have to stay with the Evarts
ReplyDeleteClimax: Mr. and Mrs. Evarts getting into an argument (pages 55-56)
Resolution: The couple seems to be on the same page now (pages 63-64)
conflict: when the reverend insisted that the Dru...... familiy moved in forcing the evarts to change their life around to accommodate them. which will bring alot of questions to be answered about both family causing tension.
ReplyDeletethe climax evarts start to argue because the husband has no feeling for the dru....family but the wife keeps prying into their business causing them to argue
the resolution the dru..... family gets a trailer and moves out of the evarts home making the family now at ease.
In the short story After the Flood, their are three different aspects that present itself throughout the story. The first conflict happens when Reverend Judy insisted that the Evarts take in the Djukanovics due to their house being destroyed in the flood. To me it seemed like the Evarts were forced to take the family in, almost as if they had no say as to what was going on. Honestly the climax is a bit difficult for me to find. I see a number of problems that could possibly indicate a problem between the characters. For example: When Reverend Judy "volunteered the Evarts to take in the family", Secondly when Reverend Judy and the wife were talking and she kept trying to bring up the death of their daughter.....
ReplyDeleteAfter the flood
ReplyDeleteConflict: The Djuvanovics staying with Robert and his wife. Robert didn't want them there but Reverend Judy insisted. She doesn't do things unless an outside force tells her to--that being the flood that destroyed Djuvanovics home and Reverend Judy.
Climax: Them living with Mr. Djuvanovics after a small encounter that occurred and now being forced to talk to them, disrupting her life.
Resolution: Is when Reverend comes over to talk to Mrs. Evant and she wants to pray she got all mad at her and finally put her foot down.Told Reverend that they were fine that she should go and give it to the Djuavonics instead.
Conflict- After the flood: The conflict is after the flood The Djukanovics had no where to go. The narrator takes them in and cares for them. That is the conflict.
ReplyDeleteClimax is that there is an argument and the Djukanovics leave.
Resolution- The narrator continues to live there lives as if the Djukanovics never came.
After the flood had its own dilemmas that fell in the categories of Conflict, Climax and Resolution. The conflict of the story was that the reverend force the couple to move a family in named the djukanovics, in which their home and belongings was destroyed by a flood and the husband Robert wasn't very pleased by it because he already was ill due to his hip surgery and now he felt as if his space was being invaded without his full consent. Resolution to the story is when the couple decides they no longer want to attend reverend judy's church anymore. They liked their old pastor better but dealt with her because she took the spot of the old pastor but by this time I feel like the couple was tired of the reverend being nosey and taking advantage of them.
ReplyDeleteThe first initial conflict, i think is when reverend Judy ask the narrator and Robert if the Djukanovic's can stay at their home after the flood. After this the writer introduces a few other probable conflicts like, the first conversation the narrator had, had with Mr. Djukanovic, the fact that Robert was unhappy with them staying there, and whatever had happened to the narrator and Roberts daughter and grand daughter...
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that the conflict is when Reverend Judy asked if the Djukanovics could stay at their house. She pretty much put this plan into action before she even had the chance to discuss it in private with her husband. Pg. 44 ""Then she got up rather suddenly and said it had all been arranged, there was nothing for us to do except open our house and our hearts, and the Djukanovics would be there that evening." They aren't too fond of her and don't like the way she's been changing the church. They don't like change.
ReplyDeleteI think the climax would be when Reverend Judy goes to the house and brings up the past. She asks her to pray and she says no.
The resolution is that they decide not to go to church anymore and things return to normal.
The conflict was immediate, the narrator did not have a good opinion of the Djukanovics because of the little encounter she had with him. He acted very coldly to her while she was trying to make small talk. Now they are forced to deal with each other in the same house.
ReplyDeleteThe climax was the argument between
The conflict of After The Flood could be letting in the new neighbors, the Djukanovics. This could be due to the narrator letting them in and attempting to be as hospitable as possible to these newcomers even after Reverend Judy rushed her into it. "Mr Djukanovic had put on the tv news without asking me if he might turn the tv on, which I thought was a bit presumptuous."
ReplyDeleteThe climax could be the Djukanovics living with the Evarts and the fact that they acted as if hotel guests. "Were we merely providing shelter, or were we expected to feed them three meals a day? Was it a sort of bed-and-breakfast, lunch-and-dinner type of arrangement, or was I meant to let the Djukanovics fend for themselves?"
The conflict in After the Flood is that Reverend Judy the new Pastor in the neighborhood is suggesting to the young couple of Robert and his wife (the protagonist) to open their house in the name of the lord to the Djukanovics family because the Djukanovics had lost their home to a flood and that in politeness and edicate they were Chosen by reverend Judy to provide Shelter to a needy family, but the problem is Robert and his wife don't appreciate these random strangers in his house stirring up a lot of commotion and Drama.
ReplyDeleteConflict: It begins when the narrator was asked by Reverend Judy to take in the Djukanovics because they lost their home do to the flood.
ReplyDeleteClimax: It is when the narrator gave the cake back to the reverend and lies about her husband has diabetes.
Resolution: It was after Reverend Judy left the house and the narrator and her husband were discussing about stop going to church.
