Confliict

Conflict has many forms, such as a difference of opinion, self conflict, racial conflict and many more, thus different writers chooses different types of conflict to write on, depending on their purpose.

The prose fiction “Catcher in the Rye”, explores an inner conflict, of a boy, “Holden Caulfield”, and his journey from his school to his home. During the journey, he shows various conflicts, with the world around him and in himself. The extent of his conflict with the adult world can be shown using this quote “I thought what I’d Do was, I’d pretend I was on of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn’t have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody.” This quote shows how he doesn’t want to communicate with the world anymore. He often refers to adults as “Phoneys”, identify

Salinger uses two important techniques to highlight the conflict in this film, one is the first person narrative form. This story is written in this form to connect show, first hand to the audience what Holden’s emotions and his thought. Another technique Salinger uses is the reparative contrast between the good and bad in the world. Often a bad encounter is followed by a better one, the author tries to show us that there is booth good and bad in the world and there “is” light at the end of the tunnel. An example of this contrast would be meeting the nuns after the encounter with the prostitute. These two are opposites of each other, one representing good part of women, pure and innocent, and the other representing the more sinister part of women spoilt and impure. These two put together is like putting diamond to black velvet, the black under the white diamond intensifies the whiteness of the diamond.

In the film, the story is based on a group of students, who forms a club, “Dead Poets Society” after being inspired by a teacher, Mr. Keating. To “Seize the Day” and live your life now, in a time where free thinking were not encouraged and boys were expected to live their life in the school, graduate, go on to university and go on with life. The conflict in this film is mainly about the orthodox ideas of the school and the unorthodox ideas of Mr. Keating and his views of life, clashing, causing turmoil and chaos in the boys they are teaching, making them unsure of which direction to follow, the more fun and exciting way of Mr. Keating or the more boring, continuous life of the Traditional way which was backed by their parents.
