The Raft

The plot of a story is the sequence of events that take place in the story.  The problem or conflict for the character and the steps he or she takes to resolve the problem/conflict can be the plot.  The changes in a character from the beginning of the story to the end can be a part of the plot. 

Tell me about the main plot events that led to a change in the main character in the story.  Is there a conflict in the story? 

Remember to capitalize and punctuate.  Make sure your sentences make sense.

At first was not happy because Nicky had to go to his grandma's house. When Nicky found the raft he was happy. When he drew pictures of animals that landed on the raft he was even happier then he was before. Now Nicky liked it at his grandma's house. There was a promblem it was that Nicky didn't like to go to his grandma's house.

Yes there is a conflict. The conflict is Nicky didn't want to go to his grandma's house because their was nothing to do and nodody to hang out with, but then as soon as Nicky found the raft he changed. Nicky found out that the raft calmed animals down. Sometimes he and his grandma went out to the river and went for a little swim. On the last day that he got to stay at his grandma's house he saw a fawn struguling, he went up to the fawn and picked it up from the mud, then caried back to its mother, then drew a sketch of the fawn with its mother. Nicky was having tons of fun at grandma's house.

Yes because Nicki thought that his grandma's house was boring. He said there was nothing to do over there. Then his grandma gave him a fishing pole and told him to go fishing. Then Nicki saw a raft as he was fishing. Nicki started to draw pictures on the raft. When he was done he saw all kinds of animals around him. Then he realized it was fun to be at his grandma's house.

There was a problem at the beginning because Nicky didn't want to go to Grandma's house. There was nothing to do there. He changed after doing some new things. He found a raft, sketched animals and saved an animal. By the end of summer he didn't want to leave.
