A conflict is to come into collision or disagreement; be contradictory, at variance, or in opposition; clash. In the novel "Ellen Foster" there are many different conflicts. As a young child Ellen had to face many conflicts most children do not have to. The first conflict is that her father is an alcoholic. To see her father drunk and hurting her mother, it must have been traumatizing. Ellen was scared to be around her father and she was scared for her mother. Then to have her mother die, from a drug over dose, it scared her even more. Now she was alone with her father, and he was still drinking. Ellen would hide in her room or in the closet, until he would leave. After that she was moved to her grandmothers house, and while she was there, her father died. She was not allowed to go to the funeral and her grandmother would always insult her father and her. Another conflict was that her grandmother died and she was then moved to her aunt Nadine's house. The last conflict was that she did not like living with her aunt and spoiled cousin, so she found a foster family.
