In the story “My Side of the Story” by Adam Bagdasarian, the main conflict is about when the main character rushes into his mother’s room and finds his father instead of his mother. The type of conflict is human VS human. Therefore, the conflict in the story is external because he and his brother were in a physical conflict and his father was angry at him for complaining.
The first example of conflict is when the main characters brother unraveled an entire roll of scotch tape and stuck it on the main characters head. The quote that supports the first example is when his brother “unraveled an entire roll of scotch tape and stuck it on my head.” This was the reason why the main character went to find his mother and asked his mother for justice against his brother.
The second example of the conflict is when the main character entered his mother’s room. After entering, he realized that his father was sitting there instead of his mother. When the main character entered his mother’s room, he “realized that I was talking to my father.” This shows how the main character feared his father and was very nervous about telling his father about what happened with his older brother.
The third, and last example of the conflict is when the main character’s father get mad and screams at the main character for his immature behaviors and disturbing his mother’s sleep. The main character explains that his father wasn’t like the person that was like his mother. The main character describes his father as someone who “was not concerned with the little things in life.” This was why the main character was afraid of complaining about the scotch tape on his head knowing his father would get angry at him for complaining about such a little thing.
The main conflict of this story is shown in these examples, and I think that the main character also learned a lesson from this experience, I think that the main character also learned that sometimes you need to work things out between two people and try to do things by yourself instead of finding for help from others.
