Him agianst Rollie Tremaine in the best baseball cards.Because in the part where he was talking about Rollie being a heavy weighted kid and when he was a millonarie.I think extarllal.Well the story was bassicly about baseball cards.But also the story was a little cunfussing.
The main conflictof this story was about how the sport was a card and now all they have is boring preident cards.Usually you just want it the way it was back then, and now it is a big difference.
The part that the effect stood out was when the cards where gone and now they are president cards. The manager of the store wanted to greet them to something different. Now That is where it takes place. They don't do anything with the cards and now they are not selling.
Are we the only ones...
I think that the main conflict is that Rollie Tremaine's is not going to be able to buy his favorite cowboy cards anymore.I think this because the in the story it said that the factory that makes the cards are not making them anymore, they are making president cards. This kind of conflict is an external conflict. The effect on this story is that Rollie Tremaine can no longer get the cowboy cards.
I think the main conflict of the story was when he wanted to get the most cards but he didn't have enough money and had to save it was hard for him to have to spend it on his dads present or his brother.
This type of conflict is internal because he wasn't dealing with an outside force.
This impacted the story because the story was revolved around the Cowboy and President cards so instead of winning the glove he had to give up his money to help his family.
I thought the main conflict came toward the very end of the story when Jerry had to decide keeping his collection of President cards and earning his new baseball glove, or selling his cards off so that his brother was able to take his special gal Sally to the spring dance. I thought this specific example was internal because Jerry was torn in his head on what he should do. I thought this conflict made for a great end to the story with Jerry helping his brother out at a time when he needed it, and choosing to help him and his family over a material object such as a baseball glove.
I thought that the mian conflict was when Jerry wanted to get the new baseball glove but keep the presidents card. I thought this type of conflict was internal because he didn't know to get. I feel this way because I thought that it should that through out the story that Jerry was determined. Spending alot of his money that he had earned from hard work trying to easrn the brand new baseball glove.
I think the main conflict of the story was beetween him and those sports cards. I think that because he said he was struggling with finding the Grover Cleveland card. I think this is and external conflict because he was struggling with the outside force that was the cards. I think the effect on him was that he might not get what he wants but will be able to help his family.
I think the main conflict was Jerry and the other boy buying baseball cards and competing who has the best cards. I feel this way, because the whole story was about Jerry and his friends going out to buy baseball and president cards. This is an example of the external conflict. At the end of the story Jerry found out about his brother going to the dance and traded his cards in to let his brother buy some new shoes and flowers.

I think the main conflict is when Jerry had to decide whether to turn in his complete set of presidents and earn a new baseball glove or sell the Grover Cleveland card to Rollie Tremaine for 5 bucks so that his brother could buy new shoes and take Sally to the spring dance. I feel this way because collecting a complete set of cards meant a lot to Jerry and he could have easily decided to turn in his complete set of cards and not buy his brother the shoes for the spring dance. This was a type of internal conflict because it was a decision that Jerry made in his head which was not a physical in any way at all. This conflict made a huge effect in the story because had he not sold his president Cleveland card Jerry would have had the glove and there wouldn't have been any discussion about Rollie Tremaine showing off his new glove. Also his brother Armand wouldn't have been able to where new shoes and buy a corsage for Sally for the spring dance.
The story is about Jerry, the main character, and anothor boy who collect baseball cards. I think it is sad that they discounted the baseball cards. Then I think it is good that they started the president cards. Why I think it is good is that they learn their presidents.
I think the main conflict of the story was that Jerry had to decide whether to help himself, or family. I feel this way because he chose to help himself, like with the president cards, he could've put in all his money, but he only put in 10 cents. I think this conflict is internal. The conflict effected the story by, the choices Jerry made, and since Jerry is the main character, it mattered, because he was telling the story.
It was about a boy who loved these cowboy cards,which were replace by these president cards. The internal conflict was that the boy was sad that the company discontinued the cowboy cards. He decided collecting cards wasn't important anymore.
I think the main conflict in the story was that he was so obsessed with getting that glove he forgot about giving to other people so when people asked him he had to always argue about it. I feel this was the main conflict because its hard to give if something you've waited so long for. This conflict was mostly, internal, but it was also external by his expressions and him only giving a nickel at first to get a present, but going back to internal and finally giving a dime.
I think the main conflict is that Jerry wanted to get the new baseball glove plus keep the presidents card. This is a internal because jerry had to pick ethier the new baseball glove or the presidents card. I feel this way because Jerry did alot of work to earn the new baseball glove. I know how Jerry feels.
I think the main conflict of this story is when Jerry had to decide if he wanted to help get his dad a gift for his birthday or if he wanted to get himself those cards. I think this is a internal conflict because he has to make a decision weather if he wants to help him or his family. This effected the story because it showed the personality of Jerry and I saw it as if he kind of thought of himself before others.
I think that the main conflict is that Jerry had to decide if he wanted to get himself those cards or if he wanted to help get his dad a birthday present for his dads birthday. The conflict is internal because he should think of others before himself. This really effected the story by, Jerrys personality and that you should always think of others before your self.
I think the main conflict is that he had to decide if he is going to give his dad something or to get cards. The conflict is internal. This effected the story because he thinks you sould not think of our self all the time.
I think the main conflict of the story was when he wanted to get the most cards but he didn't have enough money and had to save it was hard for him to have to spend it on his dads present or his brother.
i think it was internal because there in no external struggle.
instead of getting the glove he got money for his family.
I think the main conflict of the story was when he had to choose between Grrrrover Cleveland and 5 big ones for his family. This is internal. This effected the story because his brother appreciated {Jerry, isn't it} a LOT more. Oh, and one more thing. HE DOES NOT COLLECT BASEBALL CARDS AT ANY TIME IN THE STORY!

i think the main conflidt was if they wanted grover cleveland or the 5 big ones. Defianetly internal conflict. this effected the story because jerry had to pick one of them. why did they mention the cords they werent even a big factor
I think that one of the main conflicts is with the president cards because everybody had only one left.The North side had the president cleveland cards and jerrys side had the Warren G. Harding cards.this conflict was external because it was like a big kid fight.This effected the story because jerry had to choos whether to spends his $$$ on card or spent it on a gift for his dad.
matt Tootles?
I think the main conflict was he wanted the card so bad so he could get the glove but he ended up helping Armand. It was internal conflict because it was his choice. The effect was you should worry about other people first not just yourself and he learned that.
