Pick one character from your reading/ class activity, and describe what the character wants in Larry Watson's Montana 1948. What prevents that character from achieving what he/she wants? How does this compare to what you want? [Two paragraphs, 5 POINTS, due 10.08.09]
In the novel Montana 1948 Gail Hayden wants peace among her family members. Wes and Julian keep fighting about Frank's punishment for his crime toward Marie Little Soldier. In the book David narrates: "I heard my mother's voice, but the only word I could make out was 'Please' (p.122)." In this line he is saying how his mother, Gail Hayden was pleading for Julian and Enid to stay and resolve their conflict. In her attempt Gail failed because the problem was very hectic and grand. She would not have been able to stop this fight because Julian and Wes are on opposite sides and strongly support their own opinions. I also would like to resolve a family conflict. My grandfather and father do not get along very well and haven't for many years. Although I would like to fix this problem I cannot because they are very opposed to each other and do not listen to my own ideas for a more peaceful living. Gail and I relate through our problems of peace in a family.
