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.
