Types of conflict in literature

Theme

In the end, Hazel was left with only the yellow Starbursts that she didn't like as much. This story suggests the theme that trying too hard to please others can leave you feeling disappointed. Hazel's desire to be liked by her friends led her to give up what she really wanted.
Characterandcharacterization
The document discusses different types of characters including protagonists, antagonists, flat characters, round characters, stock characters, static characters, and dynamic characters.

Direct characterization involves the author telling the reader about the character's personality, while indirect characterization involves showing the reader through the character's speech, thoughts, effects on others, actions, and appearance. Examples are provided to illustrate each type of character.
Prepositions and prepositional phrases
Prepositions are words that indicate location, direction, time or possession. They must be followed by a noun, pronoun or phrase called the object of the preposition. Common prepositions include in, on, at, by, with, between, before, after, to, from. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object. To identify the object, ask what or whom after the preposition. If a word like "up" or "down" has no object, it functions as an adverb rather than a preposition. Some example prepositional phrases provided are "under the palm tree", "with her magic trick", and "after Paul".
