Assignment #1

The characters for For Whom The Bell Tolls, so far, are Robert Jordan, the protagonist of the whole book. Anselmo, an old man who kind of guides Robert Jordan around Spain. General Golz, he's like, Robert Jordan's boss. Actually it says so in his name 'General'. Pablo, he's a guerrilla camp leader. He's always sullen and very to himself. Pilar, a half-gypsy woman who mothers Robert Jordan. Agustin, his a guerrilla fighter. Maria, she is a lady who accompanies Robert Jordan's band. Andres, he is a guerrilla member who is in his late twenties. Eladio, he is Andres's older brother. Primitivo, he is an old guerrilla member, but despite his gray hairs he's pretty strong. Rafael is a full gypsy guerrilla member.

The setting of the story takes place in Spain during the a Spanish Civil War. They are all just, kind of moving around a lot. They are given many assignment to do and they have to go to all over places. Especially since they're and anti-fascist group and guerrillas.

The conflict, at the moment, is that no one in the guerrilla camp trusts Pablo. They all think that he is going to betray the entire camp. Agustin, is the first to mention or hint about the lack of trust he has in Pablo. Another conflict is that Maria and Robert Jordan love each other, but Maria has many issues because she had been raped before. Several times.

I think Pablo will end up betraying the camp. I also have a feeling that Robert Jordan isn't going to go through with exploding the bridge. He seems to have way to many inner conflicts about it.
