* Brother man assignment*

1. Conflicts which occurred in Brother Man are:

• Minette and Papacita (external) - Papacita is determined to get Minette but she refuses to go along with his plan of them being together.
• Brother Man and 'Bra Ambo' (external) - 'Bra Ambo' went to brother Man for help in hiding illegal stuff for the police but Brother Man refuses and that made him want to get revenge on Brother Man.
• Papacita and Girlie (external and internal) - Because of Papacita's unfaithfulness towards his relationship with Girlie, their relationship is considered unhealthy and to resolve their problems, they fight, making the relationship abusive.
• Cordelia (internal) - She went to Brother Man seeking help for the curing of her son's illness but when she saw no result of her son getting better, it began to slowly turn her crazy and it resulted into death.

2. Internal conflict is a mental or emotional struggle that occurs within a character.

    External conflict is a struggle that occurs between a character and the outside forces, which could be another character or the environment.

3. Three types of Irony are:

• Verbal Irony - Contrast between  what is said and what is meant
• Dramatic Irony - Contrast between what the reader knows and what the character thinks to be true.
• Situational Irony - Contrast between what really happens and what was expected to happen.

4. In Brother Man irony is played out in many ways.

     Verbal Irony is used between characters. For example: Papacita and Girlie. Papacita will tell Girlie things to make her feel like he's right or innocent but in his heart h know that he is lying.
