Travel Team

Travel Team 
By: Milos Milovanovic

The main event of this story or however you want to call it is when Danny encounters its dad being held in the hospital because of his injury. This makes Danny the main coach and player in the same time. This is very hard for Danny but his team leads to victory. The first problem in this story is about Danny and his height. The team he was playing in inhibited him to go to training's because he is too small for his team. He decides to go and make his team with all the boys and girls that were inhibited from basketball practice. There is no third problem or obstacle Danny needed to face with his height or his team. In the end it ends up being a very satisfying and nice season for Danny's team!

Book: The Bad Beginnings

The two obstacles which happen in the book is when the Baudelaire children lose their parents in a fire by an "unknown" reason. What happened is that the kids were on a nice beach without their parents, which is common due to the fact that the parents cant look after the kids because of the parents jobs, and then an adult friend named Poe told them the news about the fire and they went to Poe's house.
The second reason is that due to the death of their parent the children have to suffer, they have to move to different houses and meet people they don't know that much. They also have to suffer bad children and horrible circumstances like going to a small house which is owned by a nice man who worked for the Baudelaire parents and going to a weird house owned by a mysterious man.

The Princess Bride - Lola

The Princess Bride


The book that I am reading is called "The Princess Bride" and is written by William Goldman.

The main conflict of my novel is that Westley and Buttercup are separated. But, just like in any novel, the protagonists have many obstacles in between their goal. 1 obstacle that they encounter is Prince Humperdinck. Prince Humperdinck forces Buttercup to marry him, while Westley was away at sea, or else Buttercup should die (BTW, Buttercup thought Westley was dead, killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts). When Westley came back from sea, he was on the search for Inigo, Fezzik and Vizzini because they had kidnapped Buttercup. This is another obstacle. Westley disguised himself and people called him the "Man in Black". Westley had to do a sword fight with the best swordsman in the world, had to beat a giant and outsmart a genius. He did all of these. When Westley and Buttercup were together again, Buttercup did not know it was Westley. Therefore, she pushed him down into a cave. When she realized it was him, she jumped after him. They now had more conflicts, before being able to be free together, They had the Fire Swamp, Snow Sand and the R.O.U.S's (rodents of unusual size). They got past all of this but at the end of the cave, out in freedom, Prince Humperdinck was waiting for them. He took Buttercup back to the castle and Westley to the Zoo of Death. Buttercup was miserable and one day she called Prince Humperdinck a coward, an idiot, etc. and he killed Westley. But, Inigo and Fezzik (they survived while Vizzini died), took him to Magic Max who revived him. Then they had to find Buttercup (Westley had only little of life left) and Inigo had to kill the man who killed his father. The final obstacle they had were the guards, They had to, somehow, beat 100 guards to get into the castle. They outsmarted them. And everybody lived happily every after (or so I thought...).

In conclusion this book is a Man v.s. Man conflict. 

Five Little Pigs Agatha Christie- conflict

The Book Thief-Ronia 6A

There are so may conflicts in this novel. The main conflict was when Leisel and her new family, the Hubermanns, help and hide a Jew, whose name was Max, from other Germans.  They had to keep a secret and wondered if they should put themselves in danger for somebody else. In danger to be seen, they had to hide him in the basement. One very big obstacle for Hubermanns was when soldiers were  checking people's basements. Max was nearly seen. Another big obstacle for Leisel was trying to keep all of this a secret from her friend Rudy Steiner. Since he was so nosy, she just had to tell him. A big obstacle for Leisel was the death of her old parents and her brother. This is a man v.s man story because Germans were tough at that time and tiny threats would be treated harshly. Also, Leisel was very bullied at school for not knowing how to read. This is also a man v.s self story because Leisel had to overcome her sadness an fear that she experiences when her loved ones died. Finally, this is also a man v.s nature story because all people are against death and it causes sadness.
