Do you agree or disagree with their comment? Why?

It was moving day at the university. Students from all over the country were pouring into the town moving into dorms and apartments. Walker and James were assigned to Room 2B at the Hillside Dorm. It started off great. They picked beds, fixed up the room, went to classes together, and ate meals in the meal hall at the same time.

One night Walker's brother brought him, Sam, the family dog. Walker's brother said that heir parents were moving across the state and they would not be able to take the dog. James began to worry. He told Walker, he was allergic to dogs. Dogs caused him to sneeze uncontrollably and to break out in a rash. Walker apologized, but said his hands were tied. It was his responsibility to take care of the dog. Walker assured James that he would keep the dog on his side of the room.

Unfortunately, the dog had a mind of its own. James came home on several occasions to find the dog laying in his bed. Every time this happened, James would have to take the bed linens to the laundry. Everyday James struggled with sneezing fits and rash breakouts. One day he came in and found the dog had chewed up all of his shoes. James finally had enough.

He put the dog out of the dorm room and the dog took off running. When Walker came home, he called for Sam. James told Walker when he got home Sam was not there. Walker was devastated. About an hour later, there was a knock on the door. A neighbor was holding Sam. "I found Sam wandering around outside." Walker was so excited. James on the other hand was back to square one. Now what would he do?

The major conflict was when sam ran away.

Jordan Henderson

I disagree with Caleb because that is the climax.

Thats the climax.

Katie Mcnew

What is the climax?

olivia martin

16/3/2016 09:16:53 am

that is not the conflict because Sam the dog did not run away James
put the dog out side the dorm room. The conflict is Walker had to take care of the dog and James is allergic to him. So i disagree with Caleb Jako, Jordan Henderson, and Dylan.

Jake link

16/3/2016 11:16:06 am

THATS NOT THE CLIMAX!!!!!!!

Your right about that

Alexandria link

I disagree with Caleb because that is the climax. Climax means the most exciting or terrifying part of the story.

But that was the biggest conflict

AGF link

16/3/2016 01:33:37 pm

I don't agree with you because you did not add enough detail and that is not the conflict. That is the climax.

Anna Marie

15/3/2016 01:43:32 pm

When James put Sam outside and Sam ran away.

Katie Mcnew

16/3/2016 09:17:53 am

I do not agree because that isn't the conflict, that is what is caused by the conflict, its the effect. The conflict is before that

Damion Moore

The conflict was when james put sam outside and then sam ran away.

16/3/2016 11:22:51 am

That is right

J.K.F. ~Jaylon Fields~

15/3/2016 01:45:43 pm

The conflict of this story is when James put Sam outside and Sam ran away.

Maddie

15/3/2016 01:51:42 pm

I don't think the major conflict is when sam ran away because the dog wouldn't have even ran away if James wouldn't have let him out and the only reason he let him out was because he is allergic to dogs.

Madelyn Hall link

16/3/2016 12:03:01 pm

I agree with you Maddie

braxton

i also agree with u maddie

J.K.F. ~Jaylon Fields~

16/3/2016 01:29:42 pm

The dog still ended up running away in the first place since James put him outside,but you right.

Selah Butler

16/3/2016 02:29:16 pm

I disagree with your answer because you left out that walker brought the dog home even though james was elergic

Kara Clifton

15/3/2016 02:35:00 pm

I disagree with your answer because this answer isn't the major conflict.

Wendt 3 Hattie

15/3/2016 01:46:05 pm

I think that James should talk to Walker and discuss with him that he knows the Walker can't control the dog but should be considerate of his feelings and that to resolve this problem, Walker should give the dog to someone he trusts and will let him see the dog whenever he pleases.

Brandon Hayes

15/3/2016 01:50:22 pm

I agree because Adam was allergic to the dog, Sam, so that is correct.

Makenzi Richardson

15/3/2016 01:52:15 pm

I agree.

Jordan Alvarez

15/3/2016 02:18:52 pm

I agree with this comment because he could have talked to James and see if they could have worked something out.

alana isbell

15/3/2016 02:42:22 pm

i agree w/ Hattie but James should have told Walker

Jordan Henderson

15/3/2016 01:47:34 pm

I think the conflict of this story is that Waker had a dog and James was allergic to dogs.

Zack Sparks

15/3/2016 01:48:04 pm

i think the conflict of the story is when he can not bring the dog to his college dorm .

16/3/2016 12:01:28 pm

Lol

Brandon Hayes

15/3/2016 01:48:10 pm

The major conflict is when Sam keeps on doing things to give Adam allergies like chewing his shoes and getting fur on the bed to make Adam allergic to dogs.

Makenzi Richardson

15/3/2016 01:48:27 pm

I think the major conflict of the story was Walker's brother brought the dog and James was worried because he was allergic. James told Walker he was allergic and made an agreement to keep the dog on his side of the room. James then had enough with the dog being on his side of the room when he got home and let it go. James was back to square and should have told Walker about the problem.

Dayton Clem McNutt

16/3/2016 11:15:55 am

This does not make sense.

Riley Group 3 Wendt

15/3/2016 01:48:34 pm

I think the conflict is that Walker should not have kept the dog when James was allergic and Walker should have gave it back to his brother.

Maddie

15/3/2016 01:48:53 pm

The conflict of this story is that Walker has to keep his brother's dog because he is traveling across the state but James is allergic to dogs.
Walker still keeps the dog.

Kame

15/3/2016 02:33:04 pm

I agree because this is the main problem

jacquette group 6 wendt

15/3/2016 01:50:28 pm

The major conflict of the story is when walkers brother brought a do,James his roommate was allergic to dogs and walker said he would keep it on his side but the dog would always get in James bed and he would always sneeze and one day the dog had chewed all of James shoes.

The conflict of this story is that Walker has a dog, but James is allergic to him and the dog can't get out of James's stuff.

ALAN

15/3/2016 01:50:34 pm

the conflict is when the dog runs away

Kirsten Shotwell

15/3/2016 01:50:56 pm

The major conflict of this story is that James is allergic to Walker's dog, and Walker said that the dog would stay away from James, but the dog is getting over all of James' things. In result making James having allergic reactions.

owen wendt

15/3/2016 01:53:11 pm

i agree with you but what is solution

Gretchen, Harrell

15/3/2016 01:51:12 pm

The major conflict is that James is allergic to Sam so he lets him out and then lies that he was gone when James got home.

OMM wendt

15/3/2016 01:51:37 pm

I think that the conflict of the story is that walker has to take care of family dog but his roommate is allergic to dogs. i think the solution to this problem is for walker to ask if he can get a new roommate that isn't allergic to dogs

Stormy Svensson

15/3/2016 01:51:50 pm

I think that the conflict is that,Walker had to take care of his brothers dog (Sam),but the problem was that his roommate James was allergic to dogs.So they made an agreement that walker had to keep his dog on his side of the room.Sam did not stay on his side so James let Sam out side.This problem caused a problem between James and walker.

group 5

16/3/2016 11:05:18 am

i think that yours makes sense.

MAT

15/3/2016 01:51:57 pm

The major conflict of the story is Walker having to keep Sam and James being allergic to dogs. So, one day James had enough and put Sam outside. When Walker came home James said Sam wasn't there when he came home. Then their neighbor found Sam and gave him too Walker.

Connor WENDT 1

15/3/2016 01:52:08 pm

The conflict of this story is James allergic to dogs and Walker should be a good roommate and he should have kept the dog in his sight at all times.

Tyne WENDT

15/3/2016 01:52:08 pm

Walker should be a good roommate because James is allergic to dogs so Walker should have been smart to think to not keep the dog and let someone else do it

jacquette

15/3/2016 01:52:55 pm

I disagree with anna marie because more than that happened

Waylon Rose

15/3/2016 01:53:25 pm

I think the conflict of the story is when James takes the dog out of the dorm so it can run away.

AGF,GMS

15/3/2016 01:53:35 pm

The conflict is that James is allergic to dogs and played in his bed everyday.Walker needs to be nice to his roommates and he should have made sure that James was not allergic to dogs first.They can solve this by getting the dog out of the room.

SEC

15/3/2016 01:54:11 pm

The conflict of the story is when Walker bought a dog and brought it home to James Walker didn't know James was allergic to dogs everyday Jame had rashes and sneezed. One day James came home and found the dog on his bed the next Jame came home and found that the dog had chewed up his shoes thats when James has had enough and he put the dog out side that when the dog ran off and Walker cam home and the dog was not there the was sad and a knock on the door the neighbors found = the dog and brought him home.

bradley reyer

the conflict of the story is when walker brings a dog to the dorm when on the other hand james was allergic to dogs

Kame

15/3/2016 02:35:34 pm

The conflict is that Walker has to keep his brother's dog because he is traveling across the state but James is allergic to dogs, and James (his roommate) doesn't like how the dog is making a mess.

braxton

16/3/2016 12:03:01 pm

Brooklyn

Kara

The major conflict of the story is Walker has to keep his dog because his family is moving across the country, leaving Walker with the dog. Unfortunately, Walker's new roommate, James is allergic to dogs.

Aurora

15/3/2016 02:39:02 pm

The major conflict in this story is James is allergic to dogs and his roommate has a dog named Sam that came to visit .When James came home Sam had chewed up his shoes,and then James said he had had enough,so James opened the door and let Sam out.When Walker came home Sam was gone and then a person was holding Sam and James had to think of something else to do.

Arianna Schrom ( The Boss )

15/3/2016 02:39:52 pm

The conflict is someone has a dog that can't go on a trip the roommate has to take care of the dog despite his allergies . this is good Ex. of SELF-INTEREST!!!!!

Blake Coker

15/3/2016 02:40:32 pm

Anna Staggs (Holt)

15/3/2016 02:41:15 pm

The conflict is how a kid named Walker receives the family dog, Sam.
Walker has a roomie with him (James) in his dorm but he is allergic to dogs. Walker says I'm sorry but my hand are tied. ( probably just to lazy to do anything). James sees Sam on his bed REPEATEDLY and gets fed up.

Caitlynne Grounds

16/3/2016 09:09:32 am

I don't think that would work because Walker said he had his hands tied, which means that he can't do anything about it

Caitlynne Grounds

Anna Arnwine { McNutt }

16/3/2016 11:21:19 am

I disagree because a cage wouldn't help because the dog hair still would have got out in the air and made James allergies act up.

manuel

16/3/2016 09:07:34 am

i think the conflict is when James puts sam outside and the dog runs away

16/3/2016 09:08:14 am

he should give the dog away

carea

16/3/2016 09:08:37 am

The major conflict is that walker needs to take care of the dog but james is allergic

Marissa Dempsey

16/3/2016 09:08:50 am

I think the major conflict of this story is that,James was allergic to dogs and Walker didn't seem to care much and James was so angry he finally put sam(the dog) outside and thought he was good until sam (the dog) came back to make him sneeze and have more rashes because sam(the dog)enjoys seeing James complaining and being mad all the time...

unknown

check your spelling fam

olivia martin

16/3/2016 09:09:15 am

I think the conflict is that Walker should have asked James if he was allergic to dogs before he brought Sam Walkers family dog to live with them.

Sydnie Lunsford

16/3/2016 09:09:38 am

I think the major conflict in this story is that walker had to take care of the family dog, but James was allergic to dogs and it caused him to have rashes and sneezes. Finally James had enough and let the dog out of the room. Walker was scared when he got to the dorm and his neighbor found Sam ( the dog ) and returned him, James was back to cleaning all of the sheets when the dog lade on them and Rashes and sneezes.

Riley (Mcnutt)

16/3/2016 11:04:40 am

I agree with Sydnie Lunsford's comment.

Caleb Bowman

i think that walker should have put sam outside and have not let the dog inside b/c James could have got a rash

Body Schuler

16/3/2016 09:10:21 am

i think the conflict is that james did not like the dog cuz he was allergic and walker had no other choice so james let the dod out of the dorm room and he ran away... tip

connor yee yee

16/3/2016 09:10:40 am

the conflict of this story is that James was allergic to dogs and got tired of it so he put it out and a labor found the dog and brought him back

Smith 4

16/3/2016 09:10:46 am

The conflict is when Walker brought Sam and James said he's allergic to dogs.

alexis smith home room

16/3/2016 09:10:52 am

I think they should discuss the problem because,since James was allergic to dogs they should talk about it and see what they can work out

easy

16/3/2016 09:10:57 am

the climax of the story is that james was elirgick to the dog

Zach

16/3/2016 09:11:28 am

I think that the conflict of the story is that Walkers parents were moving across the state and the the dog with Walker.When James told Walker that he was allergic to dogs and Walker said that it is my job to take care of the dog.Every day James would find Sam on his bed.So James had enough so he put the dog outside the dorm.

Logan suggs [smith]

16/3/2016 09:13:11 am

The conflict is that Walker has to take care of the family dog sam but unfortonly James was allergic to dogs and so the dog had a mind of its own and got on James bed so James now has to go wash his stuff every day.

Nick

16/3/2016 09:13:11 am

The conflict of this story is walker needs to care of the family dog,but James is allergic to dogs

makayla

16/3/2016 10:08:08 am

i feel you !!!!!!

Jaquita davis $$$$$$$

16/3/2016 09:13:25 am

the conflict is that walker had to move a state but he could not bing the dog with him so james begin to worry and told walker that he is allergic to the dog so walker told james that he would keep the dog on his side but the dog keep going to james side so he take the dog out.

hayley turner smith

16/3/2016 09:14:50 am

i thick the conflict is that is james is allergic to dogs and when he had enough of the dog he throws the dog outside and when walker comes home he is not there then someone found sam and james has to find another way to get away from sam.

{SMITH} Anzlea

16/3/2016 09:14:59 am

The major conflict is that James was allergic to dogs and Walker he would keep sam on his side of the bed but ever time Walker would come home and sam would be on James bed so that made him wash his bed sheet. James put the dog outside of the dorm and the dog run aways.

Jaliyah

16/3/2016 09:17:59 am

I think that the conflict began when James put Sam out, b/c he was allergic. But, Something could've happened to his brother's dog when it ran away. Then, Walker would've REALLY been devastated. But then, again, James was allergic & James would come home to find Sam on his, then he'd have to do extra work.

jaylen smith

16/3/2016 10:01:45 am

I think it was not right to just throw the dog out i mean i no he is alergeck in all but throw the dog out really i just think they should convince the home oner to let the dog stay in the house with them

makayla

16/3/2016 10:07:04 am

i am with you because i found that cruel .

Hailey Sullivan

16/3/2016 10:07:26 am

I agree Jaylen.

makayla

16/3/2016 10:05:12 am

i think james should not lie because it was mean.

Hailey Sullivan

16/3/2016 10:06:48 am

I think the parents should just stay home and keep the dog so James won't get a rash and sneeze all the time.

Laura~Allen

16/3/2016 10:06:49 am

I think the major conflict was when Walker brought the dog home without asking or talking with James.

16/3/2016 10:06:55 am

the conflict is james is allergic to dogs

Brianna Coleman

16/3/2016 10:06:55 am

The conflict is that James was allergic to Williams dog and William wouldn't give up the dog.

King Ty Hudson

16/3/2016 10:07:17 am

The conflict is that James brings the dog to Walker's dorm room and it is causing Walker to have rashes sneezing and going to the cleaners and having his shoes chewed up.

group 1

16/3/2016 10:07:43 am

the major conflict is when the dog ran away.It was not right for james to do something wrong then lie about it he should have never done that in the first place.If jake was a true friend he would have told walker about the dog and how it always ended up on his bed.

logan [allen]

16/3/2016 10:07:53 am

the conflict is that the dog was making James sense and he had to take the sheets and wash it . . .

james is allergic to the dog and William is the one that keeps the dog and every time James comes home the dog is on the bed so james decided that he had a nuff and put the dog out but it came back with one of the neighbors.

I think it was when the roommate saw the dog laying on his bed and chewing all of he shoe an then he show the dog out

Matt Johnson

16/3/2016 10:09:09 am

The conflict is that James was allergic to Sam and every day Walker got home from school Sam would be laying on James' bed.James would have to take the bed lines to the laundry.Everyday James struggled with sneezing fits and rash breakouts.

Macie ALLEN

The conflict is when Walker let sam stay when James was allergic to dogs then Sam messed up all of James stuff he was tired of it so he put the dog out of the dorm room and he ran off

I think the parents shouldn't of gone on the trip because James has allergies to dogs and the parents had responsibiblitys for the dog

16/3/2016 10:10:17 am

I think the conflict is when James threw Sam out because he had chewed all of his shoes

kelly mejia

16/3/2016 10:10:33 am

I believe the conflict is walker's parent should take dog instead because this will not happen to jame to take dog outside and come back.

16/3/2016 10:10:45 am

the conflict is when James find Sam the dog is on James bed and James puts him outside and the dog runs off

jaelyn the star

16/3/2016 10:10:56 am

The conflict was when James was allergic to dogs when Walker had to take care of Sam.The tension was that when James came to the room. He found his shoes all chuded up by Sam.He couldn't take any more and put Sam out.

jacob walker

16/3/2016 10:11:06 am

i think the conflict was that James hated it when he had to allwas had to clean he's sheets for every time walkers dog got on he's bed so when he's dog chewed up he's shows he got mad and put out the dog

Nikki Mr.Mc Nutt

16/3/2016 11:10:06 am

What I will do is move out or kick the roommate.

Anna Arnwine { McNutt }

16/3/2016 11:16:21 am

i think that James should have asked for a new roommate instead of letting Walkers dog out. Theres always a solution to problems like that.

Hollie Graham(Mcnutt)

16/3/2016 11:17:42 am

I think the main conflict is that when James put Sam outside the dorm room and ran away and James didn't tell Walker that he put the dog outside the dorm room.

Apryl Thomas link

16/3/2016 11:17:55 am

the conflict is when the dog was chewing on James shoes and thats when James move the dog out side of the dorm.

Andrew (Mcnutt) link

16/3/2016 11:18:02 am

the conflict is walker should have respect james and his allergies with dogs

Brandon(McNutt)

16/3/2016 11:18:44 am

The conflict of the story is that Walker brought a dog into there dorm room but James was allergic and 1 day when James got to the room he saw that Sam had tore up all of his shoes and James had enough so James put Sam in the hallway and Sam ran away.

Selah Butler

16/3/2016 02:27:11 pm

i agree with sidney

Kayla Mcquain (McNutt)

16/3/2016 11:19:13 am

I think the conflict in the story is that Walker brought his dog into the dorm and knowing that his roommate James was allergic to dogs but James should have respected Walker and telling him that "I am sorry but i can't live here". Instead of putting the dog out.

Haley Ethridge link

16/3/2016 11:19:25 am

I think the main conflict was when James put Sam outside the dorm room and didn't care what happened to Sam and let him run off.

markus benefield

16/3/2016 11:19:25 am

I think the conflict is that James don't like the dog because he allergic and ever time he goes to school Sam sleep on his then James will have to clean his bed agin.

Kayleigh Overton link

16/3/2016 11:19:33 am

i think he walker should have found another family member or friend to give the dog to so james won't have to worry about him being allergic to the dog and james should not have let the dog out because sam could have got hurt or dog napped.

Andrew Goodwin

16/3/2016 11:20:24 am

The conflict is when walker had to keep the dog and james told walker that he was allergic to dogs but walkers hands were tied so walker said he would keep the dog on his side of the room.Then the next day james came home and the dog was on his bead and it keeps happining so james let the dog lose and james told walker that the dog had gotten out then a neighbor came with the dog and said he was out side and james was back to square one.

Emily Turner link

16/3/2016 11:20:42 am

I think the conflict is about Walker bringing his dog to his new dorm but did not knowing that his roommate James was allergic to dogs. Then one day James had enough by trying to rid of the dog.

Todshaye link

16/3/2016 12:05:34 pm

I agree because that is the same thing I put and I feel the same way. He did have enough

Ashton Siefke link

Walker brought the dog into the dorm and James was allergic to dogs so when James caught the dog on the bed sheets and he trough the dog out and the dog ran.

I agree with Matt Johnson.

Elizabeth Lawrence [ McNutt ] link

16/3/2016 11:24:40 am

I think the main conflict of this story is that Walker shouldn't have brung the dog since James has an allergy to dogs

haley link

16/3/2016 11:25:01 am

i thank the conflict is when he puts the dog out side he should have said i have to get a new room and not put the dog out.

good answer

Noah Z. link

16/3/2016 11:25:23 am

I think Walker should have just respected James allergies and put the dog in a cage while they were out of the dorm

Brandon .J

16/3/2016 12:02:18 pm

Walker should have just put sam in the cage i agree a lot Noah .Z

Madelyn Hall link

16/3/2016 12:00:39 pm

The conflict is that the dog keeps on going to James side and Walker won't keep the dog on his side.

braxton

16/3/2016 12:04:05 pm

i don't agree with madelyn bc its that he's allergic to dogs not what she said

devanta russell

16/3/2016 12:00:45 pm

THE major conflict in this story is James is allergic to dogs and he was trying to remove him

Gracie D link

16/3/2016 12:00:51 pm

The conflict is that the dog keeps on going to James side and not staying on Walkers side and James is allergic to dogs.

Mckenzie Phillips link

16/3/2016 12:01:08 pm

I think that the major conflict is when Walker keeps the dog even though James is allergic

Toan Nguyen link

16/3/2016 12:05:28 pm

I agree with you.

Amanda Byars

16/3/2016 12:01:22 pm

I think the major conflict is when they kept the dog. It would have been better if they kept the dog in a cage instead of letting it wonder around.

Mckenzie Phillips link

16/3/2016 12:02:44 pm

Nice job!!

Toan Nguyen link

16/3/2016 12:01:34 pm

16/3/2016 12:01:58 pm

The main conflict of the story is that Walker's brother brought their family's dog and Walker's roommate is allergic to dogs.

candy byars

16/3/2016 12:02:08 pm

i THINK the major conflict was when the kid is probably eliergect to dogs and stuff like that so the dog always gets on his bed an he has to clean his blankets so it can be clean and so he problaby gets tired ALOT!!!!

Cross Cole link

16/3/2016 12:03:54 pm

I disagree with u, that was basically supporting evidence of his allergies

CANDY BYARS

16/3/2016 12:05:56 pm

U JUST SAID THAT BC U TOLD ME U WERE GONNA SAY THAT

Conner Denley link

16/3/2016 12:04:12 pm

THAT is not the climax

Gracie Berthiaume Byars

16/3/2016 12:02:23 pm

I think the major conflict is when Walker's brother brought their family dog to Walker. James is allergic to dogs, and Walker said, "His hands are tied and that it was his responsibility to take care of the dog."

Cross Cole link

16/3/2016 12:02:35 pm

I think the conflict of the story is Walker Has an allergy with dogs, so his roommate James brought his families dog to the University,so instead of worrying about his roommates conditions, he worries about his families dog.

CANDY BYARS

16/3/2016 12:04:43 pm

Good Job Buddy.

Kaden Eady link

16/3/2016 12:03:09 pm

I think the conflict of the passage is that Walkers dog Sam is on his roommates side and James is allergic to dogs but Walker didn't do anything about it.After Sam chewed up James shoes,James had enough.He threw the dog out but he ended up coming back.

braxton

16/3/2016 12:06:39 pm

i agree that is totally correct

Todshaye link

16/3/2016 12:03:09 pm

The major conflict is that Walker had to take care of his dog since his parents were moving and couldn't take it with them and his roommate, James, was allergic to dogs. James tried to get rid of the dog but it was hard for him to accomplish that.

Melissa Ryan link

16/3/2016 12:03:14 pm

I think the main conflict is that Walker wasn't worrying about his friend's allergic reaction to dogs, so eventually James got fed up from being sick with the dog around, and let him go.

Joshua Reeser link

16/3/2016 12:04:20 pm

I think the main conflict is that walker should have sold him to a good owner or start putting him in the cage when he is not their then james would not have to sneezy or get rashes a lot I think thats the main conflict in the story.

Ja 'Darah Cole link

16/3/2016 12:04:53 pm

I think the conflict of the story is James mom is moving across town and she can't take Walker with her so James have to take care of the dog and his roommate is allergic to dogs. So i think he need to buy Walker a cage so the problem will be solved.

jayson(ms.byars)

16/3/2016 12:04:53 pm

i think that walker should have respected james and put some thin up so that the dog would not got to james side of the room but on the other hand james should not have put the dog out side the dorm and lied to his room mate

xX_Brandon_Johnson_Xx

16/3/2016 12:05:01 pm

Walker should have put sam in the cage.

Connor Wendt

16/3/2016 01:12:33 pm

I think you should have put the conflict not Walker should have put Sam in the cage.

Anna Staggs link

16/3/2016 02:04:15 pm

Walker SHOULD had put Sam in a cage but that was not the conflict the conflict was how James was allelic to dogs and he got fed up with Sam.

Marianna Boggess

16/3/2016 12:05:06 pm

I think the major conflict of the story is that James is allergic to dogs and Walker is not respecting that. Walker keeps letting Sam go onto the other side of the room even though walker promised not to let him over there

Janelle/Lauren

3/6/2019 10:38:44 am

I agree

Aaron Davis (Byars)

16/3/2016 12:05:17 pm

I think the conflict is when they get a dog James started to get worried about the dog and Walter said it was his responsibility to take care of the dog and every morning James sneezed and got a rash.

Owen Newton link

16/3/2016 12:06:14 pm

The main conflict of "The Room Mate" is that when Walker's brother brought Sam,the family dog,to his dorm and James is allergic to dogs and it makes him rash and sneeze. The dog also chews on James' shoes and makes him take his bed cloths to the laundry after Sam lays on his bed.Jame put Sam out side and Sam ran off. A neighbor brought Sam back.

Alan Nguyen link

adam holt

16/3/2016 02:02:27 pm

i agree because that is what the conflict is

Nariah Jackson link

16/3/2016 12:06:20 pm

The main conflict is about that Walker had brought him Sam the family dog. James began to worry because he is allergic to dogs he starts to sneeze uncontrollably and get rashes but, of course the dog had a mind of its own and that he just couldn't take anymore so he just left the dog outside the dorm.

Haley link

16/3/2016 12:07:53 pm

The major conflict in the story is that James was allergic to Sam which is Walker's dog and Walker is James' roommate so every day would have to wash his linens every day and still sneeze and have a rash but Walker insisted on keeping Sam but Sam had a mind of his own and FINALLY had enough so made Sam run away and then the neighbor gave him back to them and I think that James will go somewhere far away and let Sam out.

Devin Davey

16/3/2016 02:19:26 pm

I agree with you because you summed up all of the bad things that happened while Sam was there

The conflict is that Walker has a dog and James, Walker's roommate, is allergic to dogs and does not want the dog in his stuff.

Gabi Espinoza

16/3/2016 01:13:33 pm

We think the conflict is that Walker shouldn't have kept the dog when James was allergic to dogs also Walker should have given the dog back to his brother.

Gabi Espinoza, Riley Mitchell

Winman [Wendt]

16/3/2016 01:19:16 pm

The major conflict of the story "The Roommate" is that Walker brought his dog with him when his parents were moving across state and couldn't take it with them. Unfortunately, Walker's roommate, James was allergic to dog.

Stormy Svesson

16/3/2016 01:26:06 pm

i agree with you because jame's roommate is allergic to dogs.

Dylan Finley link

16/3/2016 02:06:38 pm

The conflict is that one of them is allergic to dogs and the other one brings his dog.

Makayla Swindall

16/3/2016 02:08:07 pm

The main conflict of this passage is James was watching his brothers dog and walker was allergic to dogs.

I think the conflict is that James was watching his brothers dog but Walker was allergic to dogs.

Logan Matheney link

The conflict of the story was when Walker brought a dog, but his roommate is allergic to dogs.

Devin Davey link

16/3/2016 02:15:30 pm

I think the conflict of this story is Walker convinced James to let him keep the dog in the dorm but the dog starts to misbehave so James gets very frustrated.

Selah Butler link

16/3/2016 02:21:14 pm

the conflict is when walker brought the dog into the dorm when he should have talked to james. then james let out the dog when he should have talked to walker

Myah Mincey link

16/3/2016 02:29:10 pm

I think the major conflict of the story is when Walker brings Sam to the dorm after James told him about his allergies.

Timothy Franklin

28/5/2019 04:04:34 am

the main conflict in the story is that is interested in his own family other than his roommate ignoring the fact that the dog is affecting Jame's health by getting on Jame's bed and side.

Janelle/Lauren

3/6/2019 10:37:05 am

The main conflict is that Walker had to take in Sam, but James was allergic to dogs. James did not want the dog to be in the same room as him.
