The oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded in 2011. The reason is because of a failure at the cement base of the 18,000-foot-deep well that was supposed to contain oil and gas. 11 workers were killed because of that, and a good thing to realize is to prepare for the worst and go the extra mile to make sure nothing bad happens. Like add more cement, and not have a giant explosion killing 11 people.
ReplyDeleteYour conflict could be a native who's fishing community is ruined by all the fish dying from the spill.
DeleteYour main conflict could be that the oil rig was a big mistake, but we have learned a lesson from it, to go the extra mile.
DeleteI think your character could be one of the people who died in the explosion, and then there family afterward.
DeleteThe mexican native could be a tribe leader with religious markings. He would act wisely and try to deal with the problem in a mannerly way, but privately, he would fuss over the issue with no idea what to do.

ReplyDelete15 dollars an hour compared to 35 cents for three weeks of work, which sounds better. That is the difference between the economic state now versus The Great Depression. The Great Depression was an economic failure lasting from 1929 to 1939, and it was caused by a lot of reasons including unemployment rising, people pulling out of stocks, stock prices being a lot higher than they should have been, etc. During the great depression, a lot of high schoolers dropped out being 4/10 who aren't in school. A lot of high schoolers left their houses because they were too much of a financial burden on their family. This one group of teenagers did three weeks of farm work for 35 cents. Kids a little bit older than us would have to hop freight trains and always be thinking of a way to get their next meal. Next time you think that your life sucks you should look back to this time and be grateful for what you have because the life you have is just a fraction as hard as their life was.
the conflict could be that the pay rate is worse then compared to now and that a lot a teenagers are dropping out of school
DeleteYour main conflict could be how a teenager needs to find work and is having trouble finding work.
DeleteI think your character should have no parents or parents that left him at a young age and sent him to a home and he goes out looking for his parents while trying just to stay alive and goes though all the hardships of the great depression.
DeleteI think your character should be a little bit rude to other characters due to the lack of money.
DeleteA lesson from the Vietnam War is that you can try to work things out before something bad like war happens. WWII happened 10 years before the Vietnam War, which is basically a short period of time. If people worked things out it wouldn't have got so bad or even bad at all. More than 2 million people died, and if that never happened there most likely could be more population right now.
ReplyDeleteYour conflict could be from the point of view of a young child whose life is affected by the war, and maybe someone in their family is fighting in the war.
Deletei think that your story should be about a kids family member fighting in the war and they have to deal with the loss of him after.
DeleteWWII had conflict against veitna war because they didnt have anytime to build the buildings back up, coundn't grow food in time for this to happen
DeleteMaybe someone could come to their house to tell them the news and they are angry, confused, and sad about why it happened to him.
DeleteYour character could be confused or afraid because of everything going on around them. You could show how nervous they are because their family members keep going off to war, and maybe you could show them struggling to deal with their emotions.
DeleteOn September 11th, 2001 a plane hit the north tower of the world trade sent from the 77th to the 85th floor there was a gigantic blast many people died on this day and people even got stuck inside the remnants of the tower slowly died. Sadly hospitals prepared for the flood of survivors but of course, they didn’t expect that there would be close to no survivors. There only happened to be 23 survivors 2977 people died and more than 6000 people were injured, 343 firefighters died including a chaplain and two paramedics. Heroes are everywhere people helped each other trying to save themselves from death people even died from saving someone else. No matter who you are you can help people too.
ReplyDeleteI think a really intersting story could be from the perspective of someone inside the towers as they collasped. The main conflict could be the struggle between saving yourself, and trying to help everyone else escape.
DeleteA main conflict for your story could be a person could be on the plane that was used to crash into one of the twin towers trying to survive.
DeleteI think the main conflict should be about a main character accepting the fact that he is going to die.
DeleteI think the main character should be frantically trying to figure out/stop what's happening.
DeleteI think your character should be a collage age girl with brown hair. She should have an extremely caring personality, and when the towers start to collapse she tries to help everyone escape. She will be feeling desperate to save everyone in the towers before they fully collapse. She then realises that she can't save everyone and herself, from various places around the building.
Deletemaybe the main conflict could be on flight 93 and helped take the plane off course
DeleteSo if I were to come up with a character. I would use angry dialogue because i'm pretty sure people jumping off a building isn't exciting. Especially when they're dying. And I would use furious narrations because if I was in that building and people started to crash airplanes to try and make me die. wouldn't appreciate it.

Deletelike how the feeling is when your about to die
DeleteCzarism certainly was a bad way of ruling Imperial Russia. The majority of the population were Moderates, people who opposed the Czar, who was Nicholas II at the time. Under his rule, the economy became crippled, jobs were lost, and many people didn't have ideal living situations. Another big problem was that the people hated Czarina Alexandra fired many governmental officials with high authority because they opposed the idea of her and the Czar's rule. The people also weren't fans of Grigory Rasputin, Czarina Alexandra's advisor. He was the only person loyal to the rule of Czar Nicholas II, which is why Alexandra didn't fire him. Going slightly backwards in time here, Russia joined WWI with the Serbians, French, and British, who took down Nazi Germany. Although the Russians took down the corrupted country, it came with a large cost. The economy was practically nonexistent with all of the money they invested into the military. They invested around 22 billion Soviet rubles, leaving the wealth of the country in ruins. Not to mention the casualties were higher for Russia, a single country, than 2 or more countries in any other war combined. Thus leading to the Moderates killing Grigori Rasputin on December 30th, 1916, by a gunshot to the head after poison-laced food didn't have any effect on him. Then the February Revolution started, and Czar and Czarina were overthrown. What I think we should take home from this; the life lesson is that if the government isn't running your country properly, it is up to you and the people to correct them. If they don't listen, then you should overthrow the government and create a new, more efficient government.
ReplyDeleteGrigori Rasputin was one of few government officials loyal to the Czar. Little mistake. Also, the February or Bolshevik Revolution led to the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was ruled primarily by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov.
DeleteI think that your story should be about a guy that is trying get rid of Czar
DeleteI think the main conflict of this story was for Grigori Rasputin to survive this gunshot to the head. Even though they may not ave liked him, he should have survived.
DeleteThe conflict could be the struggle of ruling or controlling a civilization when people don't always like you.
Deleteyour character should be a parent with two kids and just wants to get there anger out about there leader and there kids
DeleteYou should describe your character more. Also, his behavior to make it seem why the people didn't like him.
DeleteYou could describe your character with adjectives that show a family is struggling where they live. You should include emotions that show that the family is angry with their ruler, and the behavior that comes from those emotions.

ReplyDeleteThe great depression was a horrific time in history causing people to go into a panic. The stock market crash in 1929 led to severe unemployment which caused people to lose money. People went into panic because they had trust in the stock market. The panic caused stores to sell, creating black Thursday on 10/24/1929. 9,000 banks got shut down because people got greedy with their money and lost trust in banks. When something popular gets destroyed then people start to get greedy and selfish so they go into panic.
I think that your story should be about a kid facing all the hardships of the depression.
Deleteyour main conflict should be a kid in the great depression trying to fight through the hardest times
DeleteIt could be about a bank teller losing his/her job when the stock market crashes.
Delete2020 was most likely the worse year I came through because of deaths, Sickness, staying in your house, and covid came out of nowhere. There was so much in 2020 that it went by slow and fast.
ReplyDeleteCovid was the worst thing of 2020 because everything came from it being in your house, stores closing, and online school. I thought that covid was just another version of the flu. Covid has the same symptoms as flu-like Coughing, sneezing, shortness of breath, and high temperature. I thought covid was horrible in that many people got sick and because everything was closed.
Another reason why 2020 was horrible was that sports shut down like the NBA was shut down for a month.
There was more than happened in 2020 but 2020 was a horrible year and I think other people think it too.

Deletesomeone who is dying from covid
DeleteYour conflict could be about a character who is living through COVID19, and how it affects their life. You could maybe show that someone they care about got coronavirus and they were really worried.
DeleteI think a main conflict is that people are dying from covid
Deletemaybe your conflict in your story can be about a kid who always goes into the public, but now when covid hits, he has to learn how to be safe in public.
DeleteYour character could be dealing with mental health problems from all the isolation, and maybe they are really struggling to get through everything going on around them. You could show that by them having outbursts or showing their apprehension.
DeleteThe Soviet Government decided to build Chornobyl because they needed to have a big enough power source to power electricity to Ukraine. In order to have a big power source they needed something to fuel it, but they did not have enough coal. The Soviet Government decided on a nuclear power station because they thought that it would be more efficient and cheaper. Because Chornobyl was a nuclear power station when unit four was destroyed the radiation from it could kill people within two-four weeks and twenty-eight out of the six-hundred workers died within the first four months. All of this happened because the Soviet Government made a poor decision just to save money.
ReplyDeletea main conflict could be getting a big enough power source for ukraine.
DeleteYou should describe how they build the Chornobyl
Deleteyou should make the story more 1st person so they can focus on 1 person to make a main character
DeleteThe french revolution is an example of bad rulers to "good" rulers to corruption. The french revolution promised freedom of the corrupted monarchy but shortly turned into a reign of terror murdering the innocent and erasing christianity.
ReplyDeletea person who is fighting for the french
Deletesomeone who is being exicuted for being christian
Deleteyou could do someone escaping from france
Deletecharacter should be a young boy or girl they will have kind dialogue and a kind nature but the revolution will turn them cold
Deletewith little feelings. The emotions will be very descriptive.
In 1980 Ronald Reagan was elected president. What made his election so special is that he had votes from all states but one. Ronald promised to restore economic strength which changed many people's votes. This shows that if you treat the people with respect and promise them things that they would want you will earn their respect.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could write about a kid with a family from the few who opposed Ronald Reagan. Maybe the kid disagrees with their family. Or you could write from the perspective of a government official involved with the election. Maybe even the president himself. If you wrote from the president's perspective, you could show the conflicts of having people strongly agree and disagree with you.
DeleteI think ronald reagan was fighting for his spot and he was gonna get all the states to vote for him
DeleteYou should describe how hard it was for Ronald reagan to become president and what he fought threw
DeleteMaybe you could describe who ronald reagan worked with to create a main character
DeleteI think the character should be boy, about the age of 12 or 13. He is old enough to understand the remarks against Ronald Reagan that his parents say. He disagrees, but struggles with his own opinions and loyalty to his parents.
DeleteIn the neolithic era around 12,000 bc agriculture was set in stone for the many hunter-gatherers at the time. The fertile crescent was a hot spot for colonies to settle down because of the huge water supply. Mesopotamia was one of the more notable spots in the fertile crescent. This location was between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. This allowed the people of Mesopotamia to irrigate tons of water for their crops and animals. They were now not forced to chase their food and could settle. This caused a lot of trading, not only of items, but they dispersed their religion and culture too. When the people came together they changed the whole world, why cant we do this again and come to a state of peace.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict should be a young person settling in a new pace and trying to get used to it.
DeleteI think the character should be an older person struggling to accept new ways of life and trying to hold onto older traditions.
DeleteI think your character should be a little boy settling down in a new place. He should be quiet and nervous and say not very many words, but have lots and lots of thoughts.
DeleteWorld war 1 changed all wars from the smallest to the biggest. The great war brought new technology that improved society. Also there are weapons that potentially destroy society like the tank, improved artillery, portable machine guns, and grenades. World war 1 caused 16 million deaths, civilian and military alike. Not all deaths were caused by man, they were all so caused by influenza, trench foot, typhoid, trench fever. World war 1 was said to be the war to end all wars it did not but rather it changed all wars. If World war 1 caused 16 million deaths then how many deaths would a war today cause now that we have even more improved weaponry.
ReplyDeleteI think your main conflict should be about a soldier suffering from influenza and other diseases while also trying to be helpful in war.
DeleteMaybe your conflict could be an engineer creating these weapons of mass destruction, and is conflicted on whether he should continue doing so.
DeleteI think that your story should be about a soldier who comes home from the war and spreads deadly diseases to his family
DeleteI think your character should be a young and loyal soldier. I think he should be quiet but try as hard as he can to help his country. He should also be strong, and fight through his sicknesses.
DeleteThe family could be upset that he came home because of it
DeleteThe engineer I talked about could look neat and well kept being very relaxed at the start the story, but gradually as he learns what his inventions are being used for he could dishevel and become tense before reaching an emotional breaking point and not caring about his looks or behaviour.
DeleteMaybe your main conflict in your story can be a kid living during world war 1, and he has to run away and survive.

DeleteI think your character should be a smart 17 yo soldier that ran away from home to join the marines when the war broke out. he should have a normal dialogue. He should feel terrible about the things he is doing and seeing but eventually he will get used to it and then feel bad that he is used to it. he should sound sort of north western with a long island accent.
DeleteThe Great Depression was a hard time in America. Through this time there was loss and hardships but the people kept hope, adapting to a new way of life and overcoming the challenges they were faced with. People lived on the bare minimum, eating scraps and living in tents and their cars with nothing to spare. They lost their clothes with no way to replace them and kids had to drop out of school to help provide for the family. People loss their jobs and belongings. They learned to survive and even today some are healthy and growing old.
ReplyDeleteI think that your story should be about the president being blamed for everything.
DeleteYou could make your main conflict about how your main character needs to learn how to deal with not having the same amount of stuff as they had before. Your character could be dealing with how to be content with a few things.
DeleteI think that this would be about a kid thats family is suffering through the horrible times
DeleteI think your character should be really kind to further emphasize the fact that some people still had hope.
DeleteOfficers of the Kwantung Army didn't get orders to invade Manchuria from the Japanese Army, but they did so anyway. The army tried to control Manchuria into peace by setting fire to the people's homes and slaughtering civilians. Powerful people will attempt to take advantage of their power if they are not regulated by an organization and violence cannot create peace.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict in this paragraph is not to take advantage of the power that you have.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI think that you should add why they didn't get any orders and why they invaded without the orders. I also think that you should add how they felt when they didn't get any orders.
DeleteDinosaurs going extinct made new opportunities for new species, some of those species including species essential to our lives. 75% of animals including all dinosaurs went extinct from a meteorite about 66 million years ago, scientists aren't sure how the other animals survived.
ReplyDeleteDinosaurs going extinct was a crucial part so people could thrive today.
DeleteI think a main conflict for your story could be a scientist trying to find dinosaur bones and figuring out the connections with old and modern species.
DeleteThe scientist should be surprised when he find the bones/correlates the old and modern species.
DeleteI think your character who should be a scientist who finds out about dinosaurs bones, and his theory about the meteorite that hit.
DeleteIt ´ s the early 1840s and pioneers have set off on the Oregon Trail. They ´ re heading west from Independence Missouri to Oregon City in hopes of claiming free land in Oregon. Sounds like a peaceful trip right? Wrong, the treacherous trail goes on for about 2,000 miles. Pioneers travel in covered wagons filled to the maximum with mainly food or whatever else they were able to fit. If you made it all the way to Oregon you were rewarded with the free land, but it sure was nowhere near easy
ReplyDeletea main conflict in this paragraph could be surviving walking on a 2,000 mile trail.
DeleteMaybe your main character should be a kid ( boy or girl) traveling with a whole group of people on the Oregon trail
Deletea family going on the trail but one of them got sick which slows them down ad they get lost
DeleteMaybe the main character should be a ( boy or girl ) who is poor and trying to get a new start as maybe a farmer on the new land
DeleteThe government tries their best to keep us all safe and secure, but this time, they failed. 19 middle eastern men smuggled weapons like knives through airport security effortlessly with the sole intention of hijacking the airplane they were boarding. But it was not one or two airplanes, but 4 of them. Each targeting different landmarks. The first crashed into the north tower of the twin towers, and the second into the south tower. The third crashed into a field in Pennsylvania which was heroically diverted by some of the passengers and a flight attendant and the fourth crashed into the pentagon. A total of 2,996 people were killed. And by this incident the country could use this to be prepared for future attacks from enemies.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict would be to survive the attacks. This could go for being on the plane or in the buildings.
DeleteI suggest that your main conflict might be someone who was in the first plane that crashed into the first tower or someone who diverted the third plane, probably a teenager's point of view.
DeleteCould be the people on the Pennsylvania flight and they divert the plane after hearing about the crash on the Twin Towers.
DeleteCould be a man that creates the plan to divert the plane with the passengers. He's very bold and brave.
DeleteAs some people did on 9/11, you could have them record a voicemail to their friends and family, maybe a teenager that is flying by themself.
DeleteYou should make more characters and make them come to life by making them talk. Also, give them personalities.
Delete"The Cold War is raging on which is making the tension between the USSR and America even tighter than before. Enough about that, for everyone who is watching who likes hockey this summer the tryouts for the 1980 winter olympic team are starting, and lets hope we win." A broadcaster from channel 4. "Unbelievable, eat my shorts" A young Herb Brooks says as he makes breakfast, for Herb hockey isn't a game it's a art he sees hockey from all of us he didn't want to dump and chase, but to merely play the game like the Russians push hard, work as a team, condition the body. Herb wants to see them play as one to make a team play as one they must work for it and push for the name they represent. "if you don't skate during the game, you will skate after."-HB
ReplyDeleteDump and chase is when you dump the puck behind the D-man and go in and chase it.
DeleteI think the main conflict could be the struggle of being a coach and having to cut kids from the team.
DeleteIt could be about a player that works really hard to be part of the team, as he is on the bench.
DeleteI think the main conflict could be someone who trains incredibly hard to be on the team and make it through tryouts to be chosen.
DeleteA man who is going through hard times with his family.
DeleteI think your character could be a hockey player or it could be Herb Brooks. For the Hockey player you could use adjectives that show they are athletic or working hard. The Hockey player could also be talking to others who are trying out. To include emotions, you can include the devastation of getting cut or the happiness of making the team.
Delete
