It was a military-looking Jeep, like on armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it. The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and jumped back and lost my bolance and ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by. / looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coverolls, holding big bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates. 1 barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me, I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you've heard about the experience is true. You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me. The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe.

I cried out ond my own voice was muffled by the hood. I wos in total darkness now ond / strained my ears to hear what was going on with my friends. I heard them shouting through the muffling canvas of the bog, and then I was being impersonally houled to my feet by my wrists, my arms wrenched up behind my back, my shoulders screaming.

I wanted to flog you down because my friend was bleeding. Someone stabbed him." I had no ideo how much of this wos moking it through the muffling bag. I kept tolking.

I cought my breath but I didn't say anything. I'd learned my lesson In a paragraph of at least three sentences, describe a confict you have experienced. Identify the choice you had to make. Explain how this conflict changed you (20 points)​

Answer 1

1- Marcus' conflict is related to his friends; he wants to help them but he cannot. First, his friend Darryl has been stabbed and he cannot help him because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stops him. Darryl gets lost. The DHS takes Marcus and his friends prisoners and torture them. Marcus can hear his friends' cries but cannot help them.

2-Marcus is facing a conflict with the authority. The authority is authoritarian so he cannot do much. He has to obey them. He is physically attacked so he feels cornered. Although he has tried to explain to them his situation, the DHS ignores and tortures him.

3- Marcus ' current stage of identity is foreclosure since he is obliged to do what the DHS tells him to do. He accepts not to rebel against them. He wants to be free and he wants his friends to be free,too. During this identity stage, teenagers tend to follow what the adults say. Adults sometimes pressure teenagers to accept the roles they want for them.

4- Marcus will rebel against the DHS. He will notice that the DHS is not helping American society against terrorism. He believes they are not reliable ,so he will set an organization to fight against them. Probably, he will show he is more reliable than the DHS to protect America against terrorism.

5-Once at a party , I saw my best friend's fiancé cheating on her. I did not know what to do. My friend was madly in love with him. Finally ,I decided not to tell her anything. I learnt that they had to find a solution without my help.
