Blog #3

Conflict in most novels is usually a single event broadened into a larger problem. In Dark Inside, the conflict is the entire novel, and there is no resolution in sight. Conflict doesn't arise between characters in the novel, but they must only overcome the conflict of the entire world around them. The only conflict the characters have are with themselves, and whether they should be in a group or on their own. by the end if the novel each character has lost friends or others, and wish they didn't have to be with them. one character also tells a story of it being to hard to be around people you know and to see them die. my question is, if your odds of survival were exactly the same, would you be in a group of people you know? or would you want to be on your own so you wouldn't have to go through if they were to die?

  1. If my odds of survival were exactly the same, I would bring a group of people I know that I really trust because they can help me make shelter and gather supplies and protect the camp from other survivors that want to steal from us.

  2. I think I would rather be alone because seeing people that i may care about die would hurt me a lot.

  4. I would rather survive on my own. It is better to survive on your own because you dont need to find as many resouses to survive and you wouldn't have to see your friends die painful nasty deaths

  5. With odds of survival being exactly the same I think I would rather be on my own, since by the end of the book each character lost friends, and I think it would be very hard for me to go through seeing my friends die in front of me. If I repeatedly saw people dying in front of me that I knew, I think I would be more afraid of death, than if I were just on my own

  6. If I were in this situation and my odds of survival were the same I would want to be in a group of people I know. If I knew I was going to die I wouldn't want to be alone so I wouldn't want someone else to have to die by themselves. Even if it meant you would get hurt by losing them.

  7. If I were to be in this situation and my odds of survival were the same I would prefer to be on my own. I would rather be by myself than in a group because why would I want to see my friends die and then suffer through that pain of just loosing someone I really cared about. I also wouldn't like having my friends watch me die and go through the same pain. I think things would be much better if I were to be on my own because I would rather have the thought of them dying in my mind and not knowing rather than experiencing it with my own eyes.
