Conflict

Conflict Enough to Pull a Heart in Two A conflict is a struggle between two or more objects. The human heart can be pulled in many different directions; man versus nature, man versus man, and man versus self are just a few to mention. Mark Twain, William Faulkner, Luis Rodriguez, Kate Chopin , and Sarah Orne Jewett are all authors that address this “conflict of the heart” in their writings Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a perfect example of how one’s heart and morals can change in difficult situations. Huck’s journey down the Mississippi River tested him to his limits of being able to handle situations in the way which he had been raised. Huck shows that how one is raised is something that will impact them tremendously in the rest of their life and that it is hard to change from what you’ve been molded into. Huck often has a hard time abiding by rules, keeping himself out of trouble, and comprehending the things he has been taught. However, he does learn one thing, that he is better than the Negroes. So, as young boys, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer spend a good bit of their time playing tricks on Ms. Watson’s slave, Jim.
