Read this paragraph. School officials are thrilled with the renovations and expansion of King High School. Staff and students pr
aise the improved lighting, space, and access to technology; however, they are faced with new challenges. A plot of land previously used for student parking now houses the student cafeteria. As a result, the parking lot has sixty fewer parking spots. The King High School Parent Teacher Organization (PTA) is weighing its options. Either the parking lines will be redrawn or sixty cars will be parked curbside in surrounding neighborhoods. What problem is described in the paragraph?
Answer: The conflict described in this paragraph is that students attending King High School have no designated area to park due to the recent renovation and expansion of their school. This conflict could also lead to more conflicts, most especially the people residing in surrounding neighborhoods, because that is the only option students have to be able to park.
A conflict in which a character is struggling with a decision would be an Internal Conflict. This is because, you are trying to make a decision for yourself or internally, not with other people.
