Conflict = problem in a story

2 Types of Conflict:
Internal: is a conflict that happened
INside of a character.)

Internal conflict involves a decision:

Should I do this or should I do that?
*Also called Character vs. Self
External: is a conflict that happens
OUTside of a character.

There are 3 types of external conflict.

Types of External conflict:

1) Character vs. Character: there is a

conflict between two people.

2) Character vs. Nature: there is a

conflict between a person and an
animal or event of nature

3) Character vs. Society: there is a

conflict between one person and a
large group or community

story. Explain why it is an external
conflict.
2)
