The main character in each story in this unit is an ordinary person who faces extraordinary circumstances he or she cannot control. Choose two stories, describe the resolution of each main conflict, and compare how the resolutions reveal the stories’ theme. Give evidence from the text to support your analysis.

From "No Gumption" and "Barrio Boy"

Answer 1

I am sorry. I can provide only you with my example from the stories 'The Lottery' and 'The Lady or the Tiger' You're going to talk about the conflicts in The Lottery and The Lady or the Tiger... So... in The Lottery, the main conflict was that the lady (whatever her name was) was chosen to be stoned in the lottery. It wasn't really resolved in anyway, except that she got.. stoned. I haven't read The Lady or the Tiger, but you would do the same thing for that. Then you would state the theme, or moral, or main point, of each story. And then you would compare how the resolutions for both conflicts demonstrate the stories' themes.. Does it make a bit more sense? I got assisted with this task at PrimeWriting site. Check it too
