Explanation:
In literature, the term <em>conflict </em>refers to a struggle a character is going through. There are two main types of conflict:
- Internal conflict - the character is struggling with something within themselves, going through some kind of dilemma.
- External conflict - the character is struggling with an outside force, such as another character or society.
An example of external conflict is the first excerpt from <em>The Roller Coaster: </em><em>Cecelia tapped Teresa on the shoulder. “I don’t like roller coasters,” she said when her friend turned to face her. </em>Unlike Teresa, Cecelia doesn't like roller coasters. Their views are different, and this is where the conflict is.
