**Thursday 5/21/09 Pages 137-200 Identify three different types of conflicts in //Monster,// and give examples of each. Which conflict do you consider to be the most important one, and why?

Josh- The three different types of conflicts in Monster that I found were Man vs. Man, Man vs. Himself, and Man vs. Society. The reasons why I chose Man vs. Man are Bobo and King are trying to convince the judge that Steve is Guilty for giving the signal to let them know that there are no cops in the back of the store. Also, Man vs. Himself could be that he could be thinking that he is either guilty or not guilty. Finally, Man vs. Society could be the people looking at him as if he were an alien. The Conflict that I thought to be most important was Man vs Himself, because he could be lying and saying that he is not guilty when he really is and if you look at his journal so far he didn't say anything about not being guilty**
