Paragraph describing conflict

This story starts when the narrator was bullied by his brother, who put scotch tape on his head. He rushed to his mom’s room in search of justice. However, his dad, who does not care about small things like sibling shenanigans, blames the narrator for coming in without knocking on the door. As the conversation deepened, Dad became enraged and slapped the narrator. As a result, narrator feels a surge of even more injustice, and wants to harass his brother in return in the resolution. 

In this story, the main conflict is the clash of the narrator seeking justice and his dad not caring about unimportant things, an external human- to-human conflict. The passage states, “ And so, my heart full of righteous rage and indignation, I leaped out of my chair, past my brother, in search of justice.”, which shows that the narrator cared a lot of his brother taping scotch tape on his hair and wants to seek justice. However, he pushed the door open and screamed, which is acceptable to his mom, enraged his dad instead. In the passage, Dad said and acted ” “You don’t…” Whap! “…ever…” Whap! “…come in…” Whap! Whap! “…here…” Whap! “…without knocking! Do you hear me?” Silence. Whap! “Do you hear…” “. This shows that the narrator enraged him with his actions and caused an external, human to human conflict. 

As of the characters, I would consider the narrator and his mom as the protagonist, and his father and brother as the antagonist. Since the story was told in the narrator’s perspective, it seems in the plot that he is righteous. Since every time the narrator was bullied by his brother, Mom would give justice to him, his mom is also a protagonist. By contrast, his brother bullies the narrator, and father rages in something that is clearly justified for the narrator, both of them are antagonists.
