The type of conflict in this story is Man
vs. Man. The father is fighting
against Cramer to
grow the biggest pumpkin. The author
sets this conflict up
by Stanley
writing an article in the newspaper and Cramer seeing it. Cramer
then teases Sam
about growing pumpkins. This is because
for the past few
years it was
Cramer who won the contest. So
throughout the entire
story
Sam is trying to
grow this giant pumpkin when the ox just goes and tramples
the pumpkin
patch. Sam seems almost devastated. He even asks God for
hail over his
crops, but then it seemed to Sam a miracle happened. The
biggest pumpkin
ever grown there had grown in the crushed pumpkin patch.
Cramers pumpkins
could not even compete with Sam's enormous
pumpkin.Therefore,
Sam won the battle and beat his protagonist.
