  1. i think marty is struggling against other chacters and him self because he is lieing to the other chaacter and getting in deeper trouble

  2. I think Marty is fighting agents himself because he’s telling all these lies.I also thing that Marty is fighting with Judd Travers because Judd keeps asking all these questions.

  3. I think Marty is Having a conflict with him self because he thinks its bad to lie but he Knows its for a good cause

  4. other characters because with judd he doesn’t know what to do because judd is putting pressure on him like saying ”have you seen him , well if you do give him to me.

  5. I think Marty struggles with a combination of these.He struggles with other characters such as Judd because he is lying to him about not seeing Shiloh anywhere when he really did see him up the hill.He is also struggling with nature such as Shiloh because he is going to get in trouble if he keeps lying to his family to keep Shiloh away from Judd.

  6. I think Marty’s type of conflict is a combination of themselves and other characters. Marty struggles with himself because he feels bad when he lies ,but also feels not so bad when he lies because he is lying for Shiloh. Marty struggles against Judd because Judd is the owner of Shiloh ,and is the person who keeps Shiloh from Marty.

  7. I think Marty struggles with a combination of all of them because he is struggling with Judd Travers and his family ,and those are other characters .He is also struggling with him self because of all the lies he is telling .He is also struggling with nature because since he keeps Shiloh up in the woods he can’t let anyone else up there.

  8. Marty conflict is that he struggles with people like Judd,his mother,David, and his father. he struggle with judd because Judd ask him have u seen my dog and if u do drag him to me. And he respond suspicious. And Judd studying him many times. And he struggle with his mother and father because one day his mom said why don’t you invite david to play with you in the woods and Marty said. “There nothing to do out here.” And his father said. “Yesterday you said there so many thing to do out here.” And the last character who struggle with him is David because he wanted to play at his home and Marty lied to him and said. “Sorry we can’t my mother has a huge headache and she won’t like the noise.” And those are all the ways Marty struggles.

  9. The conflict Marty is struggling with is a combination of both another character, and himself. The character he is struggling with is Judd Travers because he never treats his dogs right.But Marty also struggles with himself because he is always lying to keep his (not really his) beloved dog away from Judd.

  10. To me he struggle with themselves because he lie to him family and he gave shiloh all of the food and he is starving.

  11. I think Marty struggles against himself because when he gives the food to Shiloh and only saves a little for him and plus when he lies he is not honest anymore because he is lying to his most caring people and makes things up to keep Shiloh safe.

  12. I think that Marty is struggling with himself.I also think that he’s struggling with Judd as well.

  13. I think that Marty is struggles with himself. Because he does not like to lie.But at the same time he lies because he thinks he’s doing the right thing. Marty does this because he thinks he’s doing the right thing.I think he is struggling with himself.

  14. I think Marty struggles against other people because he tells to much lies thats going to get him into deeper and deeper trouble.

  15. I think Marty struggles with Shiloh because Marty keeps making up lies to keep Shiloh and also he has to find a way to bring him food.

  16. I think Marty struggles with combination of these because Judd keeps on asking if he sees Shiloh and Judd struggles him. I also think he is struggling because he is lying to his family especially Judd so he won’t let Judd hurt Shiloh.

  17. I think is feeling bad because he not use to lie to his family and he like feeling like someone is telling him to do it and he butting all the pain on him and he doesn’t want to take it out of him because he think he is going to get in big trouble he is but why is he doing this to him self he doing this to him self and his family.

  18. I think it’s both good and bad. I think its good because he is lying to protect Shiloh. He lied to Dara Lynn about the snakes up the hill to keep her from seeing Shiloh.He lied to his ma about being hungry at night ,so he can go feed Shiloh. On the other hand, he wasn’t doing the right thing about lying,because he lied to David Howard about Marty mom having her big headaches. That wasn’t good because David Howard is his best friend and thats why that is a good cause and a a bad cause.

  19. I think that Marty is struggleing with himself because he is hafe starving him self to just feed Shiloh and he is thinking should he do this or not so he is strggling with him selve just to do all thes things and there are just fore Shiloh for this help less dog.

  20. Marty struggle with Shiloh because he lie to his family and friends.So he say that he get full but then he get hungry again.Marty feel bad with his self for every lie but he feel good to give food to shiloh.

  21. I Think Marty is conflicting him self because he starving him self to feed shilow and i don’t know how long is he going to keep daralin from fowling him to the hill.

  22. Well Marty struggles because sometimes Marty has to give shiloh his food and Marty sometimes has a empty stumick . Also he has to keep shiloh away from judd because judd is mean to shiloh . Marty also struggles because he has to keep on lying to his parents and to judd .

  23. I think that Marty feels sad and sometimes happy because he did that because he was very hungry and shiloh is very hungry like marty.

  24. I think Marty is struggles because Judd trever keep asking Marty if he seen shiloh.then Marty dad told Marty if he seen shiloh when he was looking for bottles.then he lied to his dad that he dint
