> The White Feather by P. G. Wodehouse

## Answer

The White Feather by P. G. Wodehouse develops Bullying and Conflict across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

Physical and psychological bullying pervades the story, from town versus school fights to internal school rivalries, with characters like Stanning and Albert embodying aggressive, manipulative behavior.

The ongoing violence between school and town, led by Albert's gang, exemplifies the bullying and physical conflicts that pervade the school's environment.

The ongoing feud between Wrykyn juniors and St. Jude's, and Albert's violent attack on Sheen.

The water fight between the Wrykyn boys and the Judies escalates into a physical confrontation, highlighting the ongoing conflict between the school and town boys.
