Mr. Mason's Jars Conflict and Resolution



The passage, Mr. Mason's Jars, contained the conflict of Troy getting on the nerves of Mr. Mason. Troy was new to the school so he hadn't been shown the ropes from Mr. Mason yet. Because Troy was so talkative, Mr. Mason  despised Troy for interrupting class and asking so many questions. Troy just kept pushing Mr. Masons buttons causing Mr. Mason to invite him after school. Mr. Mason resolved Troy's communication issues by taking his soul. A way that Mr. Mason could have avoided ruining Troy's life forever, Mr. Mason could have nicely told him to quiet down or created a different consequence such as sitting in the hall. Troy losing his soul could have been avoided if his science teacher wasn't mentally insane. If Mr. Mason did not steal Troy's soul then troy would most likely continue to annoy him, unless he treated the problem correctly and scolded him appropriately. If he did do what normal teachers do then Troy would be fine. In the story Troy says just before his soul is taken that Mr. Mason was his favorite teacher. If Mr. Mason would have just been nice to his kids then everyone would have been happy and no one's souls would be missing.
