She also struggles with the fact she couldn't help someone give birth so is struggling with that weight but also she is struggling whether she will run away or not. Her social hierarchy shows this because she doesnt feel like there is anyone there to help her through it so she just runs away.

Chapter 11 is about Alyce getting asked by Emma Blunt's son Matthew to help Emma deliver her baby. While Alyce tries to deliver it without the Midwife or Will to help her she gives up and ends up failing. The midwife then comes and helps the baby to be born but then Alyce gets upset and ran away.
The internal conflict she is facing at the beginning of chapter 11 is not knowing if she will be able to help the mother give birth without Jane and Will telling her what to do. She also hasn't practiced it. You know this because she starts feeling hopeless and says she cannot do it.
The pacing shows how Alyce is feeling because its fast and gives suspense as she is trying her hardest to help deliver this baby.
Another thing Alyce struggles with in this chapter is the pressure she has when this Matthew boy is expecting her to deliver this baby even though Emma didn't believe she could do it at the start. Her place on the social hierarchy shows her experiences with doing stuff and trying to do stuff, because she doesn't have that many friends and its more as if she is working for someone. These people still think of her as a dung beetle so no one has faith in her that she can do this.

#1 . In chapter 11 Alyce is trying to help a woman who is giving birth but the baby does not come out. Alyce calls for the midwife but she is mad at Alyce for "stealing" her job opportunities and is embarrassed and calls Alyce a traitor. Because of this, Alyce flees the village.

#2. She faces not knowing how to properly birth a baby because she did not have experience like the midwife or the proper herbs and lotions.

#3. The pacing of the story is slow at point to build suspense and fast at other times when skimming over random details.

#4. Alyce struggles with the fact that she does not know how to help a woman give birth and that she doesn't know where she will go when she flees the town because she does not want to have to face the midwife and her anger. Her place in social hierarchy influences her experiences because she was in very deep poverty but she worked very hard and slowly started to build a reputation and earn an income as opposed to if she was a noble or higher, she would have never had to work or she would have had her job served to her on a silver platter.

1.) In chapter 11 a women requests that Alyce would help her deliver her baby but Alyce realizes that the midwife doesn't have magic she has skill and fails to help the woman. Alyce now feels disappointment within herself and she decides that she should run away.

2.) In the beginning of the chapter Alyce believes that shes capable to help deliver the baby but then when Alyce found out that its very hard because she has never done this without help from Jane of Will

3.) The pacing shows how fast Alyce's emotions change and it shows how shes trying really hard

4.)Alyce also struggles with knowing she could not help the woman give birth and also how shes running away . Her social hierarchy affects this because Alyce is not that high of a social class so since she could not help the woman she feels even more upset with herself

In chapter 11 A women wants Alyce instead of Jane to deliver her baby. When Alyce goes to do the job she fails and cannot successfully deliver the baby. Jane the midwife comes and delivers the baby easily. Alyce feels bad about herself and feels she has failed her job so she decides to run away and take her cat with her.
The internal conflict she faces is that she does not know how to help deliver the baby. I know this because at the beginning of chapter she was saying she would not be able to do it since she had no practice.

Chapter 11 is about Alyce getting requested to assist a women giving birth but while Alyce tries to deliver it and calm the women, she gives up believing she is unable to do it and that she is not skilled enough. The midwife is then left to do it herself, and Alyce feels terrible and disappointed in herself, and not eligible to complete the task. Alyce feels so horrible in herself that she decides to ditch and run away due to being so internally disappointed.

Alyce thinks she is unable to complete her job and wondering why she is doing this, she feels like she does not know what to do during birth, and is disappointed in herself because of it. This internal conflict she faces is because she feels bad for herself not knowing how to help the women.

1)What happens in chapter 11?

Alyce wants to help Emma deliver her baby and she tries to do it without Will or the midwife and ends up failing and the Midwife swoops in for the rescue and Alyce runs away into the woods.

2)What internal conflict does Alyce feel at the beginning of chapter 11. How do you know?

The internal conflict Alyce faces at the beginning is her not knowing if she could deliver a baby without any help.

3)How does the pacing of that scene affect your understanding of Alyce’s conflict?

The pacing gives the story suspense and how worried she is that she will mess up. It affects my understanding of her because she is accidentally skipping steps in the process of delivering the baby.

4)What other conflict does Alyce struggle with in this chapter? How does her place in the social hierarchy influence her experiences?

Alyce struggles with he fact that she does not know how to deliver a baby without someone helping/ coaching her though it. Her place in the hierarchy influence her experience because she had to build her self up for the ground up and now this will badly affect her social class because her first time delivering a baby on her own she fails

The pacing, of the scene tells us how Alyce is feeling, the scene goes by very fast and the text shows how she is trying her best to deliver the baby.

It affects my thinking because of how quick everything is happening to Alyce and it builds suspense and how every single thought she is having in extreme detail.
Alyce struggles with the midwife kicking her out of her house and throwing pots at her. Alyce's place in the social hierarchy influences her experiences because she is very poor and she hasn't had much of a life because of how much hate she gets because she just begs for food.

Alyce struggles with her own esteem she has built. Alyce learned to be better than the midwife and gained esteem but now she fails to give an easy birth and builds a conflict with herself. This brought her back down under esteem now because she failed to give birth
