Story Conflict

Today we want to outline and develop our stories to the end. We will be working on the conflict and resolution on page 2 of the story outline.
Literary Element
Conflict: a problem or struggle that the protagonist (main character) deals with in a story.

Internal Conflict: a problem or struggle that the protagonist has within him/herself, e.g. he/she feels guilty for doing some thing wrong; overcoming feelings.
External Conflict: a problem or struggle that the protagonist has with something or someone outside him/herself, e.g. a difference of opinion with another person; struggles with weather, beasts, enemies; struggles with social conditions, like inequality, discrimination, money.

Today's Vocab Word: animosity (n.)
The two sisters have animosity for one another, because they always fought about everything and hold grudges against each other.
