Why is CONFLICT important?

Without conflict, there is no story: no TV shows, movies, radio dramas, comics, novels… and life would be boring.

The storyline happens due to the conflict. Conflict is introduced in the rising action. Change happens at the turning point. Conflict is faced head-on during the

climax. Conflict begins to work itself out during

the falling action. Conflict is resolved during the resolution. This homework is worth 10 quizzes. Each

quiz is numbered.

1. INTERNAL CONFLICT There is only one type of internal conflict.

1

MAN vs. SELF

The character(s) struggle happens in their own mind(s). This may be a choice between right and wrong, or

related overcoming emotions or mixed feelings.

The character fights against social traditions, rules, values, beliefs, or ways of doing something.

This can be used to comment on positive or negative aspects of real society (satire)

NEW INPUTS8

This reminds me of… This assignment reminds me of my hometown

Catanduanes, which is also known as the land of the howling wind. Even when it rains hard and a signal no.4 typhoon is coming we are still safe. Our island is very eco-friendly and there are lot of trees on the mountain but when they started to cut trees, pollute the seas and always dumping garbage anywhere they want, there are always landslide and floods even when its a light rain. So I will make sure that I will help restore and plant more trees on our mountains.
