Conflict – a problem (or struggle) between opposing forces
In a short story, the conflict drives the action. Events in the story add to the conflict or help bring about the resolution--the way the conflict is settled. Conflicts are either internal or external.

Jessica thinks the sweater Grandmother made for her is ugly. Grandmother is looking forward to seeing her wear it to her middle school graduation. Todd, the boy she likes, will be there. She doesn’t want to hurt Grandmother’s feelings, but she will feel embarrassed in front of Todd on the last day before summer.

INTERNAL CONFLICT• A character may have a dilemma: wrestle with one’s conscience, decide
between right and wrong, make a choice in a lose-lose situation, or struggle with two solutions to a problem (Should I stick up for my best friend who is getting teased?)
• A character’s fear prevents him/her from reaching a goal (I want to camp out with the club, but I am secretly terrified of the dark.)
• A character feels guilt or shame about a past wrongdoing (I can’t believe I stole the radio…how can I redeem myself?)
• A character struggles with self-image or conflicting identities (I don’t like the way I look, and I want to hide; I want to be American instead of Martian.)
• A character struggles with breaking a bad habit (I just can’t stop lying.)
