degradation in reduced water supplies, horribly destructive fires now in Australia (with at
least half a million animals dead) and earlier in California.” In your own words explain the

You are fighting the feeling. How can this be so wrong when it feels so right, says a

struggle.” What form of conflict is emphasized here?
