  2. conflict • Internal: when a character experiences two opposite emotions or desires (good vs. evil) within himself. • External: when a character experiences some sort of struggle with those outside forces. • Characters must experience conflict in order for there to be a story. The whole point is to see how they deal with conflict (and then even better… how we can learn from what he or she does…)

  3. Batman vs. Joker • Captain America vs. Hydra • Scout vs. Walter Cunningham • Gilgamesh vs. Enkidu Man vs. man Better said, character vs. character Struggle between two or more people Could be a physical, mental, spiritual, verbal, or etc. fight, argument, struggle…

  7. On your “salmon” sheet… With your group you decide where your book best fits. You will probably have several options. You need to explain why your book fits into that conflict type specifically. On the back side, show the minor conflicts (things that lead up to major things) and explain possible or the actual solutions to the conflicts.

  8. Climax: ultimate action Conflict or tension hits the highest point  The Climax of the story makes readers mentally prepared for the resolution of the conflict. Hence, climax is important to the plot structure of a story. Moreover, climax is used as a stylistic device or a figure of speech to render balance and brevity to speech or writing

  9. Point of view Who is telling the story? 1st Person: One character tells the story for everyone (uses I, we, me, ours, us…) 2nd Person: One character tells the story to You (rare to see) 3rd Person: one character tells to the story about everyone else (uses he, she, them, they…) Omniscient: someone outside the story is telling it, knows everyone’s thoughts and why they do what they do.
