1. Conflict
English Mini Lesson

2. What are some types of conflicts you face on a daily basis?

3. Two Major types of Conflict
External Conflict: takes place between a person and someone or something else, such as nature, another person or persons, or an event or situation.
Internal Conflict: takes place in a person’s mind—for example, a struggle to make a decision or overcome a feeling

4. Character vs Self
Whenever you're reading about a character's internal struggle--difficulty making a decision, or experiencing guilt, mixed feelings or confusion-- you're reading about how that character is struggling within his own mind, with himself
For example, Twilight, Bella is torn between being a good daughter to her mother and father and spending an increasing amount of time with her boyfriend Edward. 

5. Character vs Character (human vs human)
Whenever two people disagree about something and are pitted against each other, we call that human versus human.
So when the boys disagree with and attack Piggy in The Lord of the Flies, that's a clear human versus human conflict. But a more subtle one might be Aunt Alexandria versus Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird.

6. Character vs Society
Whenever you have one character up against a group of characters or even up against a belief system that belongs to a group of characters, you're looking at human versus society. 
To Kill a Mockingbird is another great example of human versus society. Although the Finch family comes to Tom Robinson's defense, because the majority of Maycomb holds racist beliefs, Tom Robinson is battling an entire community and their broken belief system

7. Character vs Nature
If you've ever read a survival story, like Hatchet for example, you're probably reading story about a human versus nature conflict. In Hatchet, Brian's plane crashes in the middle of nowhere and he needs to battle the wind and the rain and the cold to survive.
