The 1980 olympic hockey team was a team full of strangers for every single one of them. Their coach always pushed them to their limits. They started to have games and win all of them. I think a lesson that this huge event in history told us is that when you work as hard as you can toward your goals you will get there, but if you don't work at all you will go nowhere.
ReplyDeleteI would say discuss what some of the players overcame as a team.
DeleteI think your main conflict could be a person in the u.s.a. watching them go through this time and these olympics.
DeleteYou should do all the games they won to show how determined they were.
DeleteI think you should say something like My hair was soaked in sweat.
DeleteShow what the players were feeling emotionally and physically.
DeleteYou should do details about what the players wear and other details.
DeleteYou should show the physical toll on a player.
DeleteYou should show an example or show how the players felt to provide evidence.
DeleteAround 1944, Soviets took control of parts of Poland, obviously, people began to resist using guerilla warfare. Camps and towns of these 'cursed soldiers' were littered around the country. Communists offered peace and citizenship if they laid down their arms, and naturally, some did. These unlucky folks were taken to kangaroo courts and to gulags, horrifying prisons of terror, and were sometimes killed. Brothers in arms were enraged at the display and liberated many gulags around the country, allowed friends and innocent bystanders to escape. This event is an extreme display of patriotism and what people can do for their country. Poles all over dedicated themselves to their troop and refused to give up all throughout.
ReplyDeleteFor a main conflict; one of the soviet soldiers realizes what they are doing to Poland. After he realizes he starts to turn sides and fight for Poland.
DeleteI think that a main conflict could be confidence, if the character in your story chooses not to give up against the soldiers.
Deletethe conflict could be trying to kill the soviets in poland.
DeleteA suggestion for your character could be; that he is scared for his life for the soviets to take away his land.
DeleteA suggestion for you is that the people of Poland could resist and form a strategy (with dialogue) to defeat the Soviets.
DeleteSeptember 11th, 2001; One of the darkest and terrible days in history. Almost 3,000 dead and millions of hearts broken. Terrorist group al qaeda sent 19 hijackers to crash four planes. Two out of those four planes hit the world trade center. There were 3,000 people in the world trade center as the planes hit. Many brave people helped and got people out of the towers, but many didn't make it. There was also an estimated 123 billion dollar economic loss and homes being destroyed. The lesson that we learned from this experience is that we need to be extra careful when people's lives are on the line. Thankful, the U.S. learned from this and airport security went up drastically. The surveillance increased and if something like 9/11 happens again the U.S. will be more prepared .
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict could be someone who lost someone or who was in the towers and made it out.
DeleteThe main conflict could be in the perspective of someone in the planes. the main conflict could be accepting their fate.
DeleteMaybe the conflict of the story should be that someone overcoming the impact of 9/11 because they had a friend or family member working at the World Trade Center.

DeleteI strongly suggest that your protagonist should start out being traumatized. So traumatized to the point he can't smile or talk to anyone. In other words his main goal is to smile and talk to his people.

ReplyDeleteThe White Terror was a terrible time in Taiwan's history. During the White Terror, people's rights were restrained, there was no free speech and people were killed at random. What was the point of this massacre? Fear. The Taiwan Government (at the time Chaing Kai-Shek) began a martial law, making it very difficult for people to have rights. Fear was installed into the people. People suddenly disappeared without a trance. The Taiwan Government had complete control over the citizens who feared the government. Now, people still obey when they are scared. Fear is power.
I suggest that your main conflict is someone losing a friend or family member from the Taiwan government?
DeleteI suggest that you do a friend get kidnapped and he tries to go after him and try to find him
DeleteI think your main conflict might be someone apart of the government that doesn't agree with what is happening but has to kill people so they don't get killed themselves.
DeleteThe character should be worried about his friend getting kidnapped
DeleteThe main character could be a teenager, tall and intimidating but inside he's just really scared and angry with the things going on around him.
DeleteI think the character should have black glisteny hair, like typical Taiwanese fashion for the time. They should at least eat noodle soup at some point as it is the taiwanese favorite.
DeleteWould you ever imagine being a victim of a terrorist attack. There was one attack that affected many families around the world. This attack took place on September 11, 2001, as early as 8:46 Am. A boeing 767 crashed into the twin towers. Most people called there family member telling them they were going to die. Even people on the streets were getting killed because of the amount of dust, ash, and smoke suffocating them.
ReplyDeleteThe main problem should be about what group or country did it. Or the main character's dad is trying to rescue people from 9/11 and the main character doesn't know if his dad is going to live or not.
DeleteThe main conflict should be about the main character saving people from the building and not knowing if he'll live.
Deletethe main problem should be about your main character trying to save people from the twin towers
DeleteThe Character could be a rookie firefighter with no experience fighting his way through his first day.
DeleteWaverly Woodson a D-Day hero, was refused the medal of honor because of his skin color. After his tank was hit with a submerged mine
ReplyDeletehe charged all the way to the cliff face even though he was wounded. He then found a niche in the rocks and set up an aid station. That day the pulled out bullets and shrapnel patched cuts and scrapes and evan conducted an amputation. He showed incredible bravery that day.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThe main conflict could be that the color of your skin does not make you better or worse at achieving tasks.
DeleteFor a main conflict; I suggest you do no matter what skin color you are you can do incredible things.
DeleteA suggestion for your character could be; that he shows bravery in the moment but he also shows fear.
DeleteYou can describe the character as brave and fearless because of how even though he was wounded he still kept, going instead of giving up.
DeleteThe morning of September 11, 2001. Will always be known as the worst attack in America. On That day 19 militants hijacked an aircraft and crashed into what was known as the world trade center. The first plane crashed into the north tower first at 8:45 am. Then the second plane crashed into the south tower 18 minutes later. On that day 3,000 people lost their lives. The lesson learned in this story is to always be grateful for what you have and the people you have cause one day it could all be taken away.
ReplyDeleteYour main conflict could be that many people died and family and friends lost many loved ones that day.
DeleteYour main character could be a kid who had a family member who was in the towers or on the flight that day and you could write about how they found out and how they reacted.
DeleteThe main conflict is that 19 miltants hijacked an aircraft and crashed into the world trade center.
DeleteA considerable main conflict is a child going through a loss of a member.
DeleteMaybe you could put some emotion into people that died family members
Deleteyour main character could be very happy and then when they find out about the accident they could be very sad
DeleteYou should talk about more about how their familes felt when they died.
DeleteYou should talk about how the other planes crashed and not just the two that crashed into the world trade center.
DeleteThe 2008 Great Recession was a time in the US where the market crashed, forcing employers to fire workers and prices to rise. But, there were a multitude of signs that a market crash was imminent months before it collapsed. For example, the housing market was struggling in 2006, and in December of that year, the Department of Commerce even warned that home permits were dropping by 26% in October. And combined with lowered home costs, people defaulted on subprime mortgages. By August 2007, the Federal Reserve realized that banks couldn't function, but didn't do anything major to help the banks to recover. And only a year later, the US economy crashes, sending millions of people in debt and affecting hundreds of companies. What went wrong? Simple: The government and Federal Reserve recognized the problem in the beginning (subprime mortgage crisis), but didn't do enough to fix it. Never wait to address a problem, as it may become a greater problem in the future that won't be as easy to resolve.
ReplyDeleteYour main conflict could be that banks couldn't function and many people were struggling
DeleteYour main character could be a kid in a family who was struggling
Deleteyour main conflict could be how a person loses there jobs and has to find a way to make money
Deleteyour main conflict be that the main character tries to make his own store. but since hes i debt and cant buy or get one he struggles to find a job.
Deletewhen the main character talks to other people the character could sound like he hasn't had sleep for a quite some time. because most of the employees including him are in debt from the jobs crashing and going out of business.
DeleteSeptember 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945, World War 2. A time of brutal combat and terrible loss. Known as The Deadliest War, 40-50 million people died from the war and 19-28 million died from war illnesses and famine, many people during this era were struggling financially and to keep their families alive. But WWII helped shape the fabric of our world history and changed a lot of things in history.
ReplyDeleteYou can have a person be in WWll and show what they do. lso add a little slang.

Deletewhat impacted the US so much to change the history and why?
DeleteFor the characters you should do little details about them or there apperance in some paragraphs.
DeleteThe Mongol Empire was notorious for conquering and defeating other empires in that time period. Led by tyrant Gengis Khan they claimed over six territories of other groups and empires. During the 12th and 13nth centuries, the Mongol Empire was feared by most of Asia. The Mongol Empire eventually fell in 1249 after the death of leader Kublai. The Mongol Empire was taken over by the Ming Dynasty in China. A lesson we can pull from this is karma. If you are greedy or do bad things to other people, it will always come back to you. The Mongol Empire conquered so many empires in their time. In the end they ended up getting their land, and people taken over by another empire.
ReplyDeleteFor a main conflict; I suggest you write the story from the perspective of someone in a territory that was conquered. The main conflict could be learning to live life differently.
DeleteThe main conflict could possibly be that the main character will be apart of the mongol empire and try to make them stop destroying other empires or destroying people
DeleteFor the main conflict you could have the main character be the people who beat the Mongol Empire and how it must feel to destroy the people who you were scared of for so long.
Deletethe character could be a young boy that doesn't really know what's going on
Deletethe main character i think should be sympathetic and think that the mongol empire should stop terrorizing
DeleteNorth Vietnam was taken over by the French colonial government when japan forces left. The North wanted all of Vietnam to be communist but South Vietnam did not agree. A war broke out and many people were lost. The war lasted a span of 20 years. 58,000 Americans died or were lost, in all 3,000,000 people died. War is not worth the sacrifice of so many people.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThe main conflict could be onesolder that was lost and tries to find his troop
DeleteThe main conflict is that millions of people died.
DeleteYour character could be horrified in war
DeleteThe main character could probably be a vet from the war and have ptsd

ReplyDeleteNo money, no food, no employment...who's to blame? The stock market dropped 50% in 10 weeks and no ones owning up to it? Many turned on current president, Herbert Hoover. The Great Depression was the aftermath of overproduction and the Wall Street crash. No one took the time to think about how it started. So called ¨hoovervilles¨ were cardboard shack towns named after the president. Would you like to be blamed for something you didn't do by someone who doesn't even know the story? Know your facts before you point a finger.
I suggest that your main conflict should be about the main character realizing that it isn't the president's fault.
DeleteI think your main conflict could be how it isn't the presidents fault, someone else.
Deleteyour main conflict could be a person gets blamed for the depression and the person gets all the facts to prove them wrong
DeleteI think your main character could be someone who is witnessing it and going through the challenges.
DeleteThe Main Character could be someone who lost their job and lives in a "hooverville".
DeleteLots of people in the disaster of pompeii tried to keep their “treasures” but ultimately they had to leave their treasures here on earth as they passed on. Archaeologists have found a family of four with the father leading the pack trying to get out of pompeii. The father was leading the pack and was carrying all the valuables in his hands and pockets, but when the blast hit him and his family all of his valuables were tossed out and him and his family would never see them again. Archaeologists have found many remains with similar stories of people trying to keep their treasures with them, but in the end all of their lives were taken from them, and their treasures remain here on earth. Historians have also discovered that people soon after pompeii was completely covered, people came back to try to get the treasures left behind by the deceased. They started digging, but were unaware that there was still toxic gas that was just waiting to asphyxiate them. So when their shovels broke through to find a hole filled with the same gas that asphyxiated the people of pompeii, they too faced the same horrific fate of the people they were “stealing” from. Lots of people tried to keep their earthly treasures but in the end lost the one thing that matters: their life.
ReplyDeletePompeii is a great topic! A good main conflict would be people trying to get out of Pompeii.
Deletei think what your main conflict could be is someone trying to keep their family alive during the disaster
DeleteA reasonable main conflict could be escaping Pompeii, or what was going through the characters head.
DeleteI think that your main character should be someone who witnessed it.
Deleteshow what the main character was feeling emotionally while trying to escape pompeii
DeleteThe first sparks of rebellion actually began long before the Russian Revolution actually took place. Russia was an autocracy where most of the civilians were serfs (AKA. slaves, but most of them were “freed” in 1861 by Tsar Alexander II) The Tsar held absolute power over his people. By the start of the 20th century, Nicholas II was sitting on the Russian throne. The civilians were still extremly suppressed with no actual rights and they were starting to get angry. In 1905, a group of workers had a peaceful march towards the Winter Palace to deliver a petition for better working conditions and more rights, but they were shot down by imperial troops. Strikes and protests broke out and were suppressed. This became known as the 1905 Revolution and it had failed. Unrest continued in the great empire and then WWI broke out. In 1917, another revolution broke out. During the February Revolution, the Menshevik Army forced Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate the throne and put him on house arrest. In October the Bolshevik Army took the power from the Menshevik army, and set up a new government; today we know that as the Soviet Union. One of the central ideas of the Russian Revolution is power, and it makes us realize that power can only be given, not taken.
ReplyDeleteYour main conflict could be someone who witnessed the peaceful march or one of the solders who shot someone down.
DeleteRussian Revolution is an awesome topic! I think for a main conflict you could discuss more about how bad the protests were.
DeleteThe main conflict could be from the perspective of a serf and the main conflict could be being a serf.
DeleteYou could say They screamed at us "leave or we will be force to take drastic measures"
DeleteA good idea for a main character could be one of the civilians and explain their perspective.
DeleteFrom Kaylee:
ReplyDeleteThe great depression was known as one of the worst economic downturns in history. It was caused by the stock market crash of 1929 when people were trying to make money off the stock market. People would buy stock after stock eventually making them more valuable than the company itself, but around November of 1929 the stock market investors couldn't afford to pay off the loans, wiping out most of America's wealth, causing the country 72 billion dollars of debt, and around 17 million people unemployed. No one could find jobs anywhere. But, no matter what was thrown their way people always found a way to provide for their families and loved ones even if it was very difficult showing impeccable resilience.
I think the main conflict could be from the perspective of someone who worked at the stock market. The main conflict could be everyone being angry at that person.
DeleteI think your main conflict could be someone struggling to provide or losing there jobs.
DeleteMartin Luther King Jr was a man of words instead of violence. His house was bombed, he was arrested over 25 times and was stabbed. Martin was scared but he stayed strong. Instead of lashing out, fighting back , and getting revenge on everyone who had hurt him he was decided to fight back with words. These words did more things than violence, He made up with the person who tried to stab him, and later found out she was mentally ill. He also, after hearing on the news about Rosa Parks, helped end the law of segregation. I think this would apply today as instead of the guns, threats, and the things all in between we should focus on all our goals. Peace, without the fighting just words like Martin, and not even just Martin. Gandhi also was part of another civil rights moment and hated violence. Even though they didn’t choose violence they got there points across the world.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the conflict in your historical fiction is someone witnessing Martin King Luther Jr going through the violence. Like when he was stabbed or his house was bombed.
DeleteYour main character could be a black child who is trying to deal with bullying. He is inspired by MLK jr.
DeleteYour character could be a tall, sensitive boy, at the same time he is brave and kind.
DeleteI suggest your main character is an american of african descent that accepts that they has less rights than others. But then after seeing MLK Jr getting attacked, they see how hard he is trying to create peace and then tries their best to help.
Delete9/11 was one of the most sad and violent day in America. It was when 4 American Airliners were hijacked crashed into different locations. One of the crash sites was on Pennsylvania. 44 passengers fought back the hijackers. The Plane was believed target was the White House. One of the planes hit the Pentagon. The Pentagon is the United States Military HQ. And finally, The most known target in New York City, the World Trade Center. The planes hit the Twin Towers solidly. Police and Fire Departments rushed to the scene to help as many people as possible. 296 firemen died and in total, a shocking 2,996 people died on this day. At 9:59 am, the unthinkable happened. The north tower collapsed. Manhattan was covered in smoke and debris. At 10:28 am, the south tower collapsed. The site of the towers, (Ground 0) took until March of 2002 to be cleaned up. Today, where the Twin Towers stood, we have the Freedom Tower standing at 1,776 feet tall to show that it will take a lot more than that to damage our nation.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict is about how the passangers fought back the hijackers and about when the planes hit the towers.
DeleteI suggest for your the main conflict should be about from a firefighter's perspective and how he can't save everyone and has to accept some losses.
Deletethe main conflict could be from a perspective a person in the towers and how they got out
Deletethe main character could be a kid in the middle of all this and hearing about it
DeleteThe Main character should have a manhattan accent.
DeleteYou should show someone's emotions about 9/11. Show how upset they were.
DeleteOn September 11, 2001, two planes were boarded. They were full of innocent passengers and a small group of hijackers. The hijackers were from the Islam extremist group al-Qaeda. They took over the crew, and soon both planes were being flown into both towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. People inside the towers were rushing to safety. The towers both collapsed leaving a total of about 2,750 people killed, and many more seriously injured. Lots of debris filled the Manhattan streets. Emergency workers hurried to work, struggling to save as many lives as they could. These workers braved the collapsing towers even when they were scared, but they did it because they were true heroes. Today, in times of devastation and fear, we need heroes like the ones who saved thousands of lives on September 11, 2001.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict could be the debris in the air killing so many people
DeleteA possible main conflict could be in the perspective of a child, or a parent of a child. Losing someone, or the main character does not survive.
DeleteThe great depression was a time of horrible things like the greatest economic slump in history. Which was the stock market crashing all the way which leads to 15 million people being unemployed and 200,000 people moving to California and all of the food, gas, and living prices going up by 15% just because the market crashed. Now imagine if this happened again the world would be so different and you might not have a job or a home or even food this is why the stock market is so important to the world because it supplies so many jobs to people and if it was to crash we might never get up from the crash.
ReplyDeleteYour conflict could be someone who is unemployed and has no food or home.
DeleteA possible main conflict that I think could be used is struggle, and maybe someone could be living through that time in your story, and they could end up losing their job.
DeleteYour main conflict could be the struggle of a child who doesn't really understand what is happening but can see their family in pain.
DeleteYou can make a family who's clothes are maybe dirty, since they are poor from the downfall of the great depression. Maybe there could be kids arguing with their parents because they don't have too much, and you can bring the sadness of the family to life.
DeleteYou could say My stomach felt as hollow as a cave
DeleteIn 1920, when the distribution and sale of alcohol was prohibited in America and was considered to be "America's National Curse," Al Capone started an illegal bootlegging business, making about $60 million annually. He was also known as how ruthlessly he dealt with rival gangs and people he suspected were plotting against him. He also was behind the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and when he suspected three of his men were planning to kill him, he invited them to a dinner with plenty of liquor, waited until they were done eating, then beat them all nearly to death until his gunmen stepped in and finished the job. Even though he was a huge hit with his alcohol business, he kept his second life hidden from his family, and when innocent bystanders were hurt, he would give them a large sum of money in consolation, and never meant to hurt anyone who was not involved with his schemes. Even though Capone tried hard to make up for his faults, none of that compares to the 200 murders he was responsible for and his early time in Alcatraz and then getting a stroke and pneumonia, killing him. Once he started his business, he couldn't stop selling it. The lesson I took from this was that he started something he couldn't finish, and it led him to Alcatraz. Before you do something, think it through fully and make wise decisions.

The conflict of the story should be the main character is one of Capone's closest assistants. He wants to help people not die from Capone, but is scared to be retaliated and killed. The moral of the story is to try to do the right thing, no matter what.
DeleteA main conflict can be the goddess you choose
ReplyDeleteA main conflict could be luck, because when you choose a god or goddess, luck could come.

ReplyDeletemany people thought the giant ship was unsinkable. This is because the RMS Titanic had 16 watertight compartments. So if the ship started sinking, the compartments would fill with water and then close, and the ship would be saved. the titanic was one of the most comforting, enjoyable ships of its time. But on april 15th, something would happen that would change everyone's lives forever. at 2:20 am, the ship hit an iceberg that was in the water, taking off a side of the hull. Water started flooding the compartments really fast, and the plan to close them didn't work. people were frantic. Women and children were getting into lifeboats, saying goodbye to their husband/father forever. only 706 people out of the 2200 people that were on the ship survived the sinking. The people thought the ship was unsinkable, but were wrong. What people can learn from this is anything can happen, and be prepared for the worst.
ReplyDeleteSeptember 11, 2001 was a day that forever changed the lives of so many people. It started with blue skies on a perfect fall day. People boarded their American Flight 11 at 7:59am going from Boston to Los Angeles and Flight 175 at 8:14am also heading from Boston to Los Angeles. People went to work at the famous Twin Towers in Manhattan, NY.
ReplyDelete35,000 people worked at the Twin Towers, when the first airplane hit the towers there were about 17,000 people at work. Over 3,000 people died from the attacks, but it could have been so many more. The stories of people that missed their train, forgot something at home, or someone asked them not to travel on that day and because of that they are here today to tell their stories of surviving 9/11. Life is precious, we never know when it is our day to leave this earth so live life to the fullest, listen to your gut instict and always remember YOLO!!!!
