This document discusses the seven types of literary conflict:
1) Internal conflict or "Man vs. Self" where a character struggles within their own mind.
2) External conflicts include "Man vs. Man", "Man vs. Nature", "Man vs. Society", "Man vs. Supernatural", "Man vs. Fate", and "Man vs. Tools" where a character struggles against other characters, natural forces, social expectations, supernatural beings, destiny, or technology.
3) The document provides examples and photos to illustrate each type of conflict and instructs students to personalize their learning by reflecting on how the conflicts relate to their own experiences and situations.

2. Why is CONFLICT important?
Without conflict, there is no story: no TV
shows, movies, radio dramas, comics,
novels… and life would be boring.
The storyline happens due to the conflict.
Conflict is introduced in the rising action.
Change happens at the turning point.
Conflict is faced head-on during the climax.
Conflict begins to work itself out during the
falling action.
Conflict is resolved during the resolution.
This homework is worth 10 quizzes. Each quiz
is numbered.
4. MAN vs. SELF
The character(s) struggle happens in their own
mind(s).
This may be a choice between right and wrong, or
related overcoming emotions or mixed feelings.
