Let’s Discuss:
Conflict- It is the problem presented in the story
through the clash between the main character and
other forces. At the heart of every great story is a
conflict (or problem). The main character wants
something and is prevented from getting it. Conflict
makes the story interesting. Most of the action and
suspense in a story centers around the main character
(or characters) trying to find a solution to the conflict
Conflict is a struggle or problem faced by the
characters. It can neither be external or internal.
External conflict refers to the opposition between an
individual and some outside forces while internal
conflict refers to the opposition coming from within.
External conflicts include man vs. man, man vs.
nature, and man vs. society. Internal conflicts include
man vs. himself.
a. Man vs. Man-It is the opposition between the
main character and other characters in the
story
b. Man vs. Himself- It shows the problem created
by the main character and his/her personality.
c. Man vs. Society-It is the conflict between the
main character and the society where he/she
lives. Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action,
d. Man vs. Nature- A character is set in Resolution.
opposition to nature. This can mean the
weather, the wilderness, or a natural disaster. In the Rising Action, ma’am.
e. Man vs. Supernatural- Characters against
phenomena like ghosts, gods, or monsters
raises the stakes of a conflict by creating an
unequal playing field. Activity 2: ‘’THINK, PAIR & SHARE”
Kinds of conflict Events in the Story
A story has a plot. Plot shows the different part of the
story.

praised Prince Bantugan, the king frowned and looked
angry.
One day, enemies attacked the Kingdom of Bumbaran

against the good prince. He issued a proclamation that

dotted with villages and settlements. For many years,
people prospered, living in peace and contentment.
