One conflict in the story is the person vs society conflict between the Wise Woman and the government. "The authorities" wanted to crack down on the Wise Woman. The people in power were nervous about how powerful she was. The townspeople went to her for help when they were "in difficulty" instead of the government, so the government didn't like that. They were threatened by her. They were afraid they might lose their power. Therefore, they "put her in prison"in order to control her.

Second, the judge spoke very rudely to the Wise Woman when he called “wretched”, but she stayed calm and polite/ she talked calmly and politely. Third, the judge thought that his jail could imprison the Wise Woman; nevertheless, she escaped easily with her “ship drawn in charcoal”.

EF5/6 Causative Verbs

Causative Verbs

Causative verbs make other verbs act.  They force actions to occur.

Both of the previous sentences contained causative verbs.

“Causative verbs make other verbs act.  They force actions to occur.”

The most frequently used causative verbs are as follows:

help, allow, invite, require, motivate, get, convince, hire, assist, encourage, permit, employ, force, tell, ask.

These verbs are followed by a noun or pronoun followed by an infinitive.

“She allows her pet cockatiel to perch on the windowsill.

“We hired a carpenter to build a new patio on our house."

“I help my friend to fix his computer.”

Four other causative verbs do not follow this pattern.  The causative verbs help, have, make and let are followed by a noun/pronoun and the base form of the verb (which is actually an infinitive with the "to" left off).

“She makes him do his homework.”

“He lets his daughter use his camera.

“The boy helps his mother fold the laundry.

Notice help can be used either way.
