Conflicts
Neil Gaiman develops tension in the book by the narrator telling us that he always listens to his dad and respects his dad. Throughout the story, his dad is the alpha dog, he will do what his dad says. Then when the babysitter, Ursala arrived she really set a border between the adult world and the world of the children. Ursala set the border when she felt that she was older so she could boss around whoever she wanted because she was the adult in the house. Towards the end of the book, the problem is not really resolved but more or less not dealt with. Such as his parents forgetting everything after the stiched the bad memory out of them. The border of the adults and children still existed towards the end even after all that happened.
