White Heron: Self Conflict
The conflict was between Syliva and herself. The conflict Sylvia faced was whether or not she should expose the place of the white heron to the hunter.
The resolution was that Sylvia decided not to expose where the white heron was because she did not tell the hunter where the white heron was the hunter and Sylvia are no longer on good terms.

"The sparrows and robins in the woods below were beginning to wake and twitter to the dawn, yet it seemed so much lighter there aloft in the pine tree, and the child knew that she must hurry if her project were to be of any use" (Jewett). I visualized Sylvia in the tree looking down at the birds as the sun rose with an orangeish sky maybe a little dewy outside and then continuing to climb the green pine.

Antagonist: the hunter

Protagonist: Sylvia

The setting of my book is a 19th-century farm in Maine.
