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.

A character struggles with another character. Protagonist vs. Antagonist

The Good One The Bad One The Struggle

MAN vs. NATURE

A character struggles with a force of nature such as natural disaster, desolation, animal, or any natural element (also called Man VS Environment). This can be a struggle for control, or for survival.

3

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)

4

MAN vs. SUPERNATURAL

The character(s) struggle against God, gods, ghosts, monsters, spirits, aliens, fairies, magical or supernatural beings.

New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you

did this assignment? Keep it short: this one slide only Arrange: most meaningful stuff first I learned that there are so many factors

that contribute to a man’s life. Some of it are inevitable like death, and some of molds a man to become a better version of himself.

NEW INPUTS8

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

your own life. Keep it short: this one slide only Arrange: most unforgettable events first Before, when I see money, I don’t mind

keeping it for myself. Like what other people say, “Finders keepers.” But after I did this work, I realized that I should make an honest man out of myself for good karma to happen to me. Also, when I was kid, every time I see and hear creepy creatures, I easily cry and shout for help. But now, I thought of prayer is the best armor that could protect me from any harm.

CONNECTIONS9

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

in some situations in your own life? Keep it short: this one slide only Arrange: most emotional situations first An individual must be mindful of what

he does for everything has its own consequence and we must know how to live in accordance of life’s norms.
