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.

1. INTERNAL CONFLICT There is only one type of internal conflict.

1

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.

MAN vs. SOCIETY

In this conflict, a character or a group of characters fight against a society or large organization or group.

The character fights against social traditions, rules, values, beliefs, or ways of doing something.

This can be used to comment on positive or negative aspects of real society (satire)

New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you

did this assignment?

I learn the different types of conflict, what is their meaning. I also learn to be creative I learn that there are many different conflicts in a story.

NEW INPUTS8

This reminds me of… Connect the new stuff you learned to

events in your own life.

In a real life situation I can identify what is my situation in the problem what I deal with is it man, self or nature. I can also identify what is the problem.

CONNECTIONS9

Usefulness in real situations How can you use what you have learned

in some situations in your own life?

Like I said in slide 14, we can relate our selves in as situation and we can easily Identify what is our role in the problem are we the protagonist or antagonist.
