Question #5


How does the character resolve the conflict?

  1. Edmund hasn’t really resolved the conflict with himself yet. He wants to trust Dupin but seeing him drunk makes him suspicious. Also, Dupin seems to know a lot about Edmunds problem but he keeps sending Edmund to give notes to Mrs. Whitman. While giving Mrs. Whitman one of the notes, she starts asking questions about Dupin. She asks about his name and if he’s been drinking. This also makes Edmund even more suspicious of Dupin.

  2. I have finally finished the book, and the ending I believe could have been better. So to start off let me tell the ending of the book. In the book on page 168 he found his mother on the street almost close to dead. He figures out that his aunt had been murdered, since Dupin (also known as Poe) told him (found on page 160). He is in desperate need of finding his sister. Dupin keeps saying that his sister is dead and that is how his story goes (161). Edmund doesn’t believe Dupin, so he goes and finds Throck to help him (175). Throck tells him he has nothing to do with it, but Edmund urges him on. Dupin and Throck don’t like each other that is why Edmund brought Throck home (177). Edmund gets really mad when Dupin and Throck sit there drinking and talking instead of helping him find his Sis (180). Certain that these two men won’t help him he decided he should go for himself. He stood up and went but when he went to the ship (Sunrise) Peterson had hit him with a metal bar making him fall to the ground (186). When he wakes up he sees Dupin and Throck in front of him and Sunrise floating away. They quickly try pulling back the boat, and they find Sis who Throck was holding (194). Dupin wanted the story to end his way so he pushed Sis into the icy, cold waters. Edmund dived in for Sis and brought her back again (195-196). At the end, Dupin left Edmund and Edmund was back again in his home with his mother and Sis.

  3. Edmunds main conflict is man v. man with dunpin. Edmund doesnt really belive Dunpin all the time and i belive that is stlling moving forward to find "Sis". If Edmund would just luisten to Dunpin and trust him they may actcually get closer to finding "Sis" and wehat happened to her. Instead Edmund is suspicouis always questioning Dunpin.
