One of the conflicts in the book Give Me Liberty is when Owen and Nathaniel get into their major fight. You could tell they were going to have a “Fall Out” because Owen was never satisfied with the work that Nathaniel was putting forward. Part of the problem could have been that maybe Nathaniel really wasn’t giving his best efforts but it also could have been that Owen just simply expect way too much from him. If you set your standards too high from the start it, the outlook isn’t very good! Also prior to having Nathaniel, Owen might have had older kids and therefore they would probably be able to do a lot more work then he could.
After their fight, Nathaniel was really beat up. He looked really bad, like someone said that if it would’ve continued on Nathaniel could have died! I can’t imagine how bad that must have been. A while later, Owen really was just done with Nathaniel so he knew he needed to sell him to someone else, and that’s when Basil came in! Basil bought Nathaniel and now that is who he is working for. I think that was a good resolution to the problem because Nathaniel is a much happier person with Basil. He is treated with a lot of respect and I think that makes a big difference in how hard he would want to work for someone. In my opinion I think that was a great resolution, just the way it had to come about wasn’t good at all!
