Question

1. analyze internal conflict:

choose one character and explain how an internal conflict shapes his behavior and
interactions with the group in these chapters.
claim: the character’s internal conflict causes them to hesitate and second - guess their decisions, affecting their behavior and interactions with the group
evidence: in these chapters, the character hesitates before taking action during a critical moment, showing his internal struggle between self - preservation and responsibility, which leads to cautious interactions with others and impacts group cohesion.
reasoning: _______________

Explanation:

To complete the reasoning, we connect the claim and evidence. The internal conflict (here, between self - preservation and responsibility) creates a mental struggle for the character. This struggle makes the character hesitant (as seen in the evidence of hesitation during a crisis). Hesitation in decision - making and action affects how the character interacts with the group—being cautious can either make the group feel uncertain about the character's reliability or, in some cases, prompt others to step up. It impacts group cohesion because if a key member is hesitant, the group's ability to act together smoothly is disrupted. We can frame this as: The character’s internal conflict between self - preservation and responsibility (from the claim) leads to hesitation (evidenced by the crisis - time hesitation). This hesitation shapes behavior by making actions delayed or cautious. In group interactions, this caution can create tension or uncertainty, as the group may need decisive action. The conflict drives the character to second - guess, so their contributions to the group are tentative, which weakens the group’s unity as members rely on each other’s clear roles and actions.

Answer:

The character’s internal conflict (between self - preservation and responsibility) causes hesitation in decision - making and action (seen in crisis - time hesitation). This hesitation makes the character’s behavior cautious and their group interactions tentative, as the group relies on decisive action for cohesion. The conflict’s tension (between self - interest and duty) drives the character to second - guess, disrupting the group’s unity as members depend on clear, timely contributions.
