Authors Note: this
is a five paragraph essay explaining conflict and resolution for Among the Hidden
Have you ever
thought that someday the world could go into massive plague which causes third
children to be illegal? In the book Among the Hidden by Margaret
Peterson Haddix there are many different conflicts but there is one main
conflict that threatens many peoples’ lives.
Although some
people think that our world right now is messed up they would think twice about
that if they saw how bad this world is, in this book there is a major plague
which almost takes out the whole population and there only way to stop it was
to make third children illegal and not allow pets. This rule was a drawback but
not the worst thing that could happen.
The main conflict
was the fact that people didn’t take this law seriously. So even though they
knew about the law they kept having kids because the population police didn’t
act on it. So even though they are trying to control the population it isn’t
really working and since it isn’t working they are just ending up running lower
and lower on food. Because food is starting to become so scarce they decide to
become more serious and start killing off third children and the people who are
harboring them.
The only solution
for the third children is to hide. Now for some this is easy for other it is
hard. For example kids on a farm can easily hide like Luke. But somebody in the
city would have a harder time being hidden. Sadly these kids have to stay in
hiding basically their whole lives but its either this or death
In a poverty
stricken world where there is plague and overpopulation many children have to
adapt by hiding otherwise they will be killed. Although people today think that
the world is bad right now that is nothing compared to what it is like in this
world.
