Writing Assignment: Narrating a Conflict

the most interesting narratives often describe a conflicts between two opposing forces. the workplace, which is frequently an arena for conflict, can be an ideal setting for a narrative. Think of a job experience you had that involved a conflict of some short, it might have been a conflict between you and you employer. 

Consider the writing of this narrative as an activity that can be broken down into four separate parts. Each of these four parts will bw a single paragraph. The paragraphs should be arranged as follows:

1. The first paragraph should tell something about the job. What kind of work were you doing? Where as the work perfomed? What were your working conditions like?
2. The second paragraph should describe the conflict. What was it source? What is a conflict over two different attitudes toward work? Two different ways to doing the same job? Two different personalities.
3. The third paragraph should tell how the conflict was resolved. Was it resolved fairly or unfairly? By whom?
4. The fourth paragraph should give the moral of the story. What did you learn from the experience? Were you able to apply what you learned to other experiences in your life?
