Conflict

In the ocean at the End of the Lane, there are many types of conflict. There are many person vs. person, but two that stand out are first when the man moves into the narrators room; there is a lot of tension, and then he kills the narrators kitten. Another person vs. person, I believe, starts out as a person vs. nature. When the narrator and Lettie go into the woods and come up against the giant "person" but it is made of things in nature that's a conflict, then when she turns into Ursula, many more conflicts arise between the to as person vs. person.  A conflict of person vs. society in the writing shown toward the beginning when at the narrators birthday party. The person who made his cake said kids his age don't usually want a book cake they want superheroes or sports cakes, this right off is a conflict showing him he is different and then no one showed up to his party.

The Triple Goddesses

The first of the goddesses is called the maiden. In the book The Ocean at the End of the Lane, the maiden is believed to be represented as Lettie. Lettie and the maiden both share many characteristics, right off the back the maiden represents youthfulness, sunrise, a new life, and potential. Smaller matching characteristics are self-confidence, which is shown when Lettie and the narrater travel into the woods and she says as long as you hold my hand you will be safe. Another time of confidence is when she is yelling at Ursala in the thunderstorm protecting the narrator.  Independence and self-expression are other traits they both share, Lettie always speaks for her self and goes where she wants. When the narrators parents found him at them Hempstocks house after he had run away the mother asked when she should pick him up in the morning but they said Lettie would just walk him back and he would be safe. The second goddess is called the mother int the book she is represented by Ginnie she brings responsibility and adulthood. Ginnie was always able to convince the narrator's parents to trust them because she was so nurturing. The third goddess is known as the crone, she is represented as the old Mrs. Hempstock. The crone has characteristics of the ending, death, visions, and guidance. Just her name " The old Mrs. Hempstock" shows you she is an elder awaiting her ending. After the narrator ran away she was clipping his memories seeing the visions and helped him know what happened to him by his father is what made him who he is now.

Predatory Reading Stratigies

Important predatory reading strategies can be passive reading,  taking notes, outlines, making summaries, and analytic scanning.  All of these and more are important for college reading because they will help to have a clear understanding and make it faster to get work done efficiently. There are 5 categories in the writing process that make it so easy to complete. The first is Prewriting and Planning, this is the starting point of topic statements but not full sentences. The second step is composing, in this step, you take the topics you made in your planning and create full sentences and maybe even paragraphs. The third step is revising and rewriting, this is to fix topics or to move things around to make the draft better. The fourth step is editing and proofreading, this is to look closely at words and sentence structure while finalizing the writing. The final step is release, to turn in the final project or to give it to the public. If you choose not to do all these steps and just do one draft and done then your choosing to possibly have so errors but it is acceptable if you have a valid reason for that approach.
