Conflict - Tig at the Door

I've just read an interesting example of conflict by Karina from Manor Lodge School.

Chapter 2

Summary: Simon, Tigotha, Granny Tig
When: day after Sunday last week
Where: Simon’s bedroom
Details: Simon nurses Tigotha back to health and makes Tigotha a bed in the lounge next to the fire. Her bed is made of old socks and Simon lays Tigotha in the bed and as Tigotha falls asleep, Simon sees a small problem. There is a tig at the door, and how exactly is he going to be allowed to keep a baby tig? Uggg!

Chapter 3

Where: still in Simon’s bedroom
Details: He answers the door, and sure as pie, there is still a tig at the door. He thought about what you do when you have a tig at your door, but he didn’t remember having heard what to do before. He took a deep breath and opened the door...

The bed in the lounge next to the fire is a nice touch, because it shows how much Simon cares about Tigotha. I think she would like a bed made from old socks.

I have also been wondering how Simon would be able to keep Tigotha when she already has a family of her own. Aside from eating bullies, tigs seem like reasonable people who would get on well with a nice boy like Simon. I look forward to seeing how you resolve this.
