  1. “Julie and the Wolves” CCC-GO

  2. Since this response asked for 3 cited pieces of evidence I am going the 5 paragraph route for organization. The following slides will break down each paragraph. The final slide will show the final response product. 5 Paragraph Response

  3. The reader is introduced to main character Miyax in the story “Julie of the Wolves” by Jean Craighead George. Throughout the story the author develops the conflict. This conflict happens to be that Miyax is lost in the wilderness. This conflict is known as a person versus nature conflict, because Miyax has to fight for survival against whatever nature throws at her. Furthermore, the author develops this conflict in the beginning, middle, and end of this story. Paragraph 1

  4. To start, the author identifies the conflict to the reader at the beginning of the story with the following quote. “She had been lost without food for many sleeps on the North Slope of Alaska” (George). The reader now knows Miyax has been lost for several nightswhich the author represents by saying “sleeps”. The author starts the development of this conflict by simply stating what the conflict is in the story. Paragraph 2

  5. In addition to telling the reader what the conflict is in the story, the author further develops it by offering a possible resolution to Miyax’sconflict in the middle of the story. “Somewhere in this cosmos was Miyax; and the very life in her body, its spark and warmth, depended upon these wolves for survival” (George). This quote shows the reader that the character is going to have to depend on the wolves to survive in this wilderness. This is the possible solution the author uses to further develop the conflict for the reader. Paragraph 3

  6. In a similar fashion the author continues to develop conflict by actually having Miyax approach the wolves for help at the end of the story. “Long minutes passed, and the black wolf did not look at her” (George). The reader is left without a definite answer to this conflict as the wolf never looked at the main character at the ending of story. PARAGRAPH 4

  7. In conclusion, the author develops the conflict by using different techniques at the beginning, middle, and end of the story. One strategy was the author revealing the conflict to the reader. The author also used similar strategies in the middle and end of the story when revealing a possible solution to the conflict. It is clear that the conflict in this story was Miyax being lost, but the reader never truly knows if she survives or not. Paragraph 5
