• 1st sentence:

The section that I have read this week is where the character is mostly solving all of his problems, but the main conflict that he struggles with is the jealousy and envy of the other people towards him, which is man vs. man type of a conflict.  

• 2nd sentence: 

Since his main goal is to have two hounds (dogs), and at this point his wish finally comes true, he decides to deal with other people's jealousy and cupidity on any possible way and tries to stands up for himself and his two dogs as well.  

• 3rd sentence: 

This is a type of a conflict that still exists today no matter where you are, because there are always several people that want something that they can't have which most likely turns into jealousy. 

• 4th sentence: 

I think that women nowadays are expected not to stand up for themselves in hard situations because they are considered weak, but even though we're not expected to, I would always stand up for myself even in the hardest times. 

• 5th sentence: 

There is a particular group of boys that attacks the main character only because he owns two hounds, and at first I didn't understand why would they do something like that, but then the whole definition of jealousy and wanting something that they can't have appeared into my mind and the whole idea of their ''attack'' became more clear.
