3. Pull out a sheet of paper and title it: Flashback

4. Flashback- a non linear plot line
A literary or cinematic device in which an earlier event is inserted into the normal chronological order of a narrative
Can you think of any movies with flashbacks?

5. Why use flashback?
The use of a flashback is to convey the reader’s information regarding the character’s background and give them an idea of the characters motives for doing certain things later in the story. Therefore, a flashback in the story deepens inner conflict. It provides stimulus for the conflict, deepens the touching effects and allows the reader to sympathize even with the villain. Another function of flashbacks in a narrative is to increase tension. A mere mention of the past event makes readers to wish to know the secrets and so he reads on to find out what secret is that secret terrible, which provides the motivation for this conflict.

6. Conflict: 1 fight, battle, war;
2 a: competitive or opposing action of incompatibles : antagonistic state or action (as of divergent ideas, interests, or persons)
b: mental struggle resulting from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, or external or internal demands
3 the opposition of persons or forces that gives rise to the dramatic action in a drama or fiction

7. Conflict: internal
A struggle that takes place in a character's mind is called internal conflict. For example, a character may have to decide between right and wrong or between two solutions to a problem. Sometimes, a character must deal with his or her own mixed feelings or emotions.
Character vs. Self

8. Conflict: external
A struggle between a character and an outside force is an external conflict. Characters may face several types of outside forces. The outside force may be another character. It may be the community. The outside force may also be forces of nature. For example, a story might be the main character struggling against the arctic cold.

9. Types of External conflict
Character vs. Character (Harry Potter vs. Voldemort)
Character vs. Nature (Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz”)
Character vs. Society (Shrek from “Shrek”)
Character vs. fate/deity (Percy Jackson vs. Kronos)

10. So the difference is…
An internal conflict is just that– a conflict that takes place internally. This is better known as character vs. self.
An external conflict is a conflict that can be seen physically. We know external conflicts as character vs. character, character vs. nature, and character vs. society.
