This unit focuses on different types of conflicts in literary texts. In stories, characters can face
internal conflict within themselves, or they
can face external conflict with other people,
nature, or society.
Think of a conflict in a story that you've read
recently, either in class or on your own. What
type of conflict-internal conflict or external
conflict-did the protagonist (main
character) face? What did the character
learn from the conflict? Was the character
able to overcome the conflict
Discuss whether you think the conflict in the
story is a situation that could happen in real
life and if the solution would have worked in
the real world.
