2. Arguing with your shadow Can’t be helped!
We’re going to look at three different styles of problems that we can add to our stories:

Can’t be helped!

3. 1 versus 2 Example: Harry and Ben are at a party. Problem:
“1 versus 2” is when one character creates a problem with another character
Example:
Harry and Ben are at a party.
Problem:
Harry makes fun of Ben when he loses a game of “pass the parcel”.

“Arguing with your shadow” is when a character makes the wrong decision or gets themselves into a tricky situation.
