Conflict--Every book has some sort of conflict that pulls the reader in and keeps the reader reading. Conflict can be person vs. person, person vs. nature, person vs. self, person vs. society, or person vs. the supernatural. Identify the primary conflict in your novel. Who or what is involved with the main conflict? What is the conflict? How does your character handle himself/herself when faced with this conflict? How does this conflict add to the story line of your novel? How is the conflict resolved and what is the outcome?
In my book Hatchet there are many different conflicts. The first conflict that pulled me into the book and wanted me to keep reading was the main character Brian was on a plane with just him and the pilot, and the pilot had a heart attack so Brian had to try and fly the plane by himself. The plane went down in a lake in the middle of know where that's the second conflict because he is stranded in the woods by himself with nothing besides a hatchet. Through out the book Brian faces many different person vs. nature conflicts but he pushes through it so he can see his family again.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds addicting and interesting. Brain sounds like he has to do a lot to get back to his family and the whole plane thing sounds shocking.
DeleteThis Brian guy sounds like he went thought hell and had to fight his hole way to get out of the woods alive and i feel like i would read this book it sounds like i might have to pick up a copie for myself.
DeleteWow it sounds like your main character Brian has some really crappy luck, and really in a way there was literally no way he could win this fight. He was screwed from the beginning.
DeleteSounds like a lot of conflicts going on in this book. I can defiantly see a conflict of person vs. self. Fighting with your own mind to try not to think about the worst of being stranded in the woods. A lot of mental toughness going on here.
DeleteThis book sounds really interesting. Just from reading the conflict in your book it makes me want to read it and find out what was going through Brian's head at that time of the plane going down.
Deletesounds very interesting how someone one second could be living their life and the next thing he knows hes on an island by himself and has to use his survival skills
DeleteSounds pretty cool, survival books have always been interesting to me, and hatchet has always been on my list to read.
Deleteits crazy that his hole journey started because he was going to visit his father. it makes me wonder if its possible something like that could happen to me or someone i know.
DeleteIn my book Among the Imposters there is one main conflict surrounded by many other ones. The conflict is the population police coming to get the shadow children. Later you find out the Jason isn't actually a third child, he is working with/for the population police and tries to turn in the shadow children. Luke decides to warn others and work against the police. The outcome is the population police come, but as Jason tries to expose all the shadow children. In turn the shadows play dumb and Jason is accused of being a shadow child and is taken away.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good book it differently sounds like the hole book changed its plot almost the good guy turned bad when truly he had been the hole time.
DeleteThis sounds like a great book! I can relate to this book because Claris has trouble with her children as well. She named her daughters the same Sallie even though two of them died.
Deletethat sounds like a great book with a crazy twist at the end of it
DeleteSounds like a crazy book to read.
DeleteThis book sounds like it was good but the author put a probably much needed twist to it.
DeleteIs there a favorite part you have? Is it an interesting read? Can't wait to hear more
DeleteThis sounds like a great book and it sounds like it would be a crazy one to read.
DeleteThis sounds like a book that would be hard to follow with all that is going on, but interesting at the same time.
DeleteI think i may have read this book in middle school because it sounds very familiar to me either way it wouldn't hurt to read it again it sounds interesting.
DeleteIn my book the main conflict is person vs self he use to sell drugs and had plenty of money to live and party but it was took away from him in the blink of an eye now hes broke and basically living on the street now hes living in a low income house and doesn't have any money. So to try to get money he kidnaps a millionaire and hold him hostage. Danny the main character took his money issue and kidnap the man and bury him alive. Danny thought his conflict was going be resolved when he would get his ransom money and life would be good again but is plan took a turn for the worst and now hes rotting to death in a jail cell.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very aggressive and it hooks you. That is really that someone did that and in the end the guy got what was coming, which was a cell in jail. In general this book seems very interesting.
DeleteIt sounds like your characters conflict is a pretty rough one that he kinda got himself into. He should have had another job, and not have just relied on the drugs as his main inflow of money. So he put himself in this difficult spot.
DeleteI think this conflict is very harsh and it would suck but it gets you hooked pretty fast and makes me want to find out how he got all the money he had and how he lost it and I also want to know how he thought he was going to get away with killing a millionaire.
DeleteMy book is sort of related to yours in the way that my main character had nothing in his old faction, but moves to Dauntless to try to get freedom, and ends up excelling.
DeleteThis book sounds aggressive and exciting. Hope it was a good book to read.
DeleteWhat's the name of your book, would love to give it a look, sounds really interesting
DeleteThis book sounds very interesting, whats the name of i i would love to read it.
DeleteThis book sounds addictive and one that you really don't want to put down.
DeleteThis might sound a little cliche, but the conflict in my book is person vs. destiny. Randy is a college professor who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, cancer being the destiny in this case. The primary conflict is Randy trying to accomplish everything that he wants to in what little time he has left. The character deals with this by non stop chasing his dreams as well as helping others achieve there dreams all while at the same time savoring every moment he has left. Randy just wants. I would say the conflict in this story adds some sort of deadline. Like after all the inspirational things he says, and after it's over it's over forever. The conflict isn't really resolved. Initially Randy looses the fight. But in a way he wins by leaving his dream of making others dreams come true. So also in a way he won.
ReplyDeleteI mean, it sounded a little bit cliche, but nothing too bad. It also sounded very interesting and suspenseful. Thankfully he won in the end!
DeleteYour book sounds very sad, it would be hard but also interesting to read about what someone would do that is close to dying.
DeleteI also thing my book is also Person vs. Destiny. but my book involves a dog being reborn over and over again to find his purpose in life until the very end when he finds the purpose. But then, they kill one of the main characters. The dog has missed him his whole life just to find him again the dog makes his dreams come true then he dies a few years later.
DeleteThis sounds like it could be a very inspirational book. Like telling you to live your life to the fullest, and just have fun.
DeleteSounds like a very inspirational book, the way he makes others' life better when his own life is about to end. This relates to my book when a member of the swim team at Frost High School gets diagnosed with a blood disease and his other team members want to end season because they think they can't swim without him. Jeff the team member with the blood disease says no and told his team members to keep the season going and swim for him. He got his team members determined for state where they swam their best times, some were state records. In way he made their lives better to get them ready to perform well at state.
DeleteIn my book, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, the main conflict is Rachel battling cancer. Throughout the story Greg and Rachel fight about her treatments, so i think the conflict is person vs. person. In the story Greg really wants Rachel to continue with her treatments but she doesn't want to. This adds to the story because Greg doesn't understand why Rachel is giving up, and she's trying to show him shes not giving up.
ReplyDeleteWow what I sad book! I can relate this book to my book by Hannah's first mother died of cancer. Her stepmother now is not the nicest.
DeleteI think this book could also be person vs self because she has cancer. With her not wanting to contine treatments is fighting herself.
DeleteYour book sounds great.
DeleteYour book sounds very good and i might consider reading it.
DeleteYeah, your book sounds pretty interesting. Maybe it could also be person V.S. fate? Just because getting cancer isn't really something that the character can control, and some of those issues might stem from finding out about it and how it affects her?
DeleteIn my book,The best of Me, the conflict that sticks out to me is when Dawson accidentally shot his friend, Bobby, because his dad and him were fighting over a gun and Dawson accidentally pulled the trigger. Dawson ended up having to go to jail and he would be away from Amanda and that was difficult. Amanda tries to visit Dawson in jail but he refuses to let her because he thinks she deserves better, they eventually break up. This conflict adds to the story because it lets Amanda and Dawson find each other many years later. And is resolved because because they find each other again later in their life and are still in love.
ReplyDeleteWow, that book seems very interesting. I couldn't imagine accidentally shooting someone, especially my own dad. Hopefully this book is an exciting on for you!
DeleteI love these types of books. It really shows they were meant to be no matter what stood in their way.
DeleteThat book sounds awesome, I can relate this to mine, because the characters dont even know the full truth about themselves, it seems the more you read, and progress in their story you keep finding out more and more about the characters in the story, and how they came to be.
DeleteThe conflict in my book is person vs. society because the primary conflict in my book is the Germans attempt to kill and get rid of all Jews. The character Elie Wiesel handles it differently than all of the other because when the Germans told them that they were being transported for the better he kind of knew something was wrong and was mad that no one was refusing but he stays tough through the whole situation and never gives up. This conflict has a lot of purpose in my book because it pretty much is the whole book without this conflict this book wouldn't exist. this conflict ended when the Americans came and helps with the conflict and saved Elie.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like person vs society is the main conflict of the book. That is such a terrible thing that the Germans did to the Jews.
DeleteI also read night and i agree that the conflict is person v.s society
Deletemy book also had a person verses society and involved war, i feel like both of the obstetrical in our books are hard to over come .
DeleteIn Diary of An Oxygen Thief is when Anonymous is dealing with his alcohol addiction and his past, both which fuel his other sadism filled life choices. It's definitely a Person V. Self conflict and it includes when he was young and he was sexually abused by his priest until he was 12 and also the bland and boring lifestyle of working in the job field of advertisement.
ReplyDeleteIn my book, Allie also has person vs. self conflict. She has to fight herself and wrestle herself to choose the man that will make her the happiest, not the richest, hottest.
Delete
DeleteIn my book Louie turns to alcoholism in the end because of his PTSD. I can relate to how my character and your character both struggle with this, and turn to it to mask the issues of their past.
My main character also struggles with person vs self conflicts. He doesn't know how to express the way he feels about books. He wants to share with everyone, but knows that if he does, he will get arrested.
DeleteDearest Marcus,
DeleteMy character, Guy Montag, also has to deal with person vs self conflict. He doesn't know how to express his belief in that others should care about each other. He ends up trying to force it onto others unsuccessfully. Again I hope that your enjoying your novel.
i have the same kinda conflict but your sounds like it gos more in debt.
DeleteWell obviously a big conflict in The Notebook is a love triangle going around with Noah loving Allie and Allie being in love Noah but she is engaged with Lon. This conflict person vs. person is really affecting all three of these peoples lives in many ways. Lon ends up losing someone he loves dearly, Allie has to go from a lavish life style to a more poor lifestyle but that doesn't mean her life won't be full of love and greatness. Noah and Allie obviously are happy together but Lon handles the pain of losing her by working at a job that he loves. Honestly, this conflict is the main story line, if this wouldn't have happened this book would have no meaning.
ReplyDeleteI can relate this to my book because my main character, Dawson, is heartbroken because Amanda and him break up. He also copes with the heartbreak by getting a job after he gets out of jail.
DeleteMy conflict is person vs. person as well. Louie struggles to stay afloat while the bird torments him day by day. The internal conflict within Louie also impacts his decisions just like your character Allie.
DeleteMy character Miles is in a love triangle as well. He is in love with Alaska but Alaska is dating Jake. Although Shes dating someone, Alaska plays with Miles heart and in turn ends up hurting him.
DeleteYour book is the same as mine, a lot of self conflict. In my book the main characters are tired of being a part of a war for so long. they just want peace. and so they are just overwhelmed with everything and they need and want some peace
DeleteOmg I love dramatic love triangle stories! But, non top the Vampire Diaries, no but anyways. Your book sounds very fun, like one of those books that might be hard to set down after you begin reading. My book really isn't to similar, but this sounds like a story I would like to read.
DeleteIn my book, Straight Talking, the conflict is mostly between the main character, Tasha and herself. Tasha struggles with her self-image and what she thinks relationships are all about. She always has to make sure that her hair is done and her makeup is perfected so men will notice her and "fall in love with her", she doesn't think anyone cares about whats on the inside rather than on the outside. Tasha also thinks that leaving her toothbrush at a guy's house after the first night is a great idea. She rushes into every relationship she gets into and wonders why they always end in heartbreak. She tries to resolve the conflicts by talking with her friends and her psychiatrist and looks for advice from them
ReplyDeleteIn my book my character struggles with self-image as well because of her weight. It seems like society makes it seem like the exterior is the most important when really it's the inside.
DeleteI agree with the most important things about a person are in the inside, like their personality and how nice they are. It doesn't matter if she or he is hot. This book sounds really interesting.
DeleteThis book sounds very good from what you just described was happening. It sounds like something i would very much enjoy reading. Its kinda of sad of Tasha feels like she needs a man and has to dress up to impress people.
DeleteI am reading the book Divergent and I feel like the first major conflict in the book is person vs. self. Tris is now at the age where she is able to take the aptitude test and attend the choosing ceremony to choose the faction she will belong to. She can either choose the faction she grew up in or choose to go to a different one. The aptitude test is available to show what faction she would be best in, but she does not have to choose based on the test results. After taking the test though she finds out that she is not like the rest of the people and her results show that she is divergent meaning she shows characteristics of multiple factions. On the day of the choosing ceremony she must decide to leave her family and faction or stay and live the life of her current faction. She has a person vs. self conflict because in her mind she goes back and forth about what she should choose and all the factors that are included in her decision.
ReplyDeleteI also have a conflict similar to this because one because the girl Cheyenne in my book is blind so sometimes she gets mad at herself because she can not do things that others can.
DeleteThis conflict was very interesting to see in the movie. seeing her struggle to find her place and figure out where/how to fit it and blend in with everyone else in order to survive.
DeleteIn More Than You Know Hannah is dealing with seeing something or someone in her stepmothers new house. I believe that this is a example of Person Vs. Supernatural conflict because Hannah is seeing things that no one else is and it is bothering her a lot. She has not only seen it once but twice. In this conflict it is just Hannah who is involved. But Hannah will not stop bothering her brother because she is scared. Hannah handles the conflict multiple ways when they moved her books her brother made a ghost bookmark then when the ghost would not let go of her she just screamed for help. This adds to the book because it is the only part in the book that I can not put the book down when she is talking about what she is seeing. So far they do not know what is causing Hannah to see this stuff.
ReplyDeleteA Dogs Purpose has one main conflict that happens often in the book. Every time he finds his purpose in life, he dies and is reborn into a new life. This makes him so upset each time because he doesn't understand why he was born again because he already found his purpose before and how has to go through the same process again. Towards the ending of the book he stopped caring, he would not play with the others puppies he would go stalk elsewhere which did not make the owners trying to sell him happy. He just went though the emotions until he found a purpose worth living. Towards the end it was to find a previous in a previous life and make him happy again. He did a great job and then they killed off the owner on the very last page.
ReplyDeleteMy main character also can get upset with herself because she can not see and she is wondering why me why did I have to become blind and towards the end of the book she learns how to deal with her senses better by the things she has to go through.
DeleteMy book is sort of related to yours. In my book Promise Not to Tell your ending is sort of the same as the way that my book ends.
DeleteIn my book Girl, Stolen there is a person vs person conflict because Cheyenne, the girl that was kidnapped is trying to get away from her kidnappers. She deals with this conflict by using her other senses, such as her smell and hearing because she is blind so she can not see who kidnapped her and she can not find ways to escape because she is unfamiliar with the area she is in. There is also another conflict of person vs self because Cheyenne is blind and can not find ways out of the house she is being kept in, so Cheyenne has to think outside of the box, and sometimes she gets upset and frustrated with herself.
ReplyDeleteMy book is somewhat similar to yours. Mines about being kidnapped as well. I agree with you, our books would be person vs person because it's a struggle against other characters.
DeleteIn my book Unbroken, the main conflict is person vs. society. In the WW2 era the world was against each other. Nations were torn, men, women, children where being brutally murdered. Louie has a journey though the ocean, fighting off sharks, starvation, dehydration, and the loss of his friend. His biggest enemy was the Japanese officers, commanders, and POW camps supplied for the wounded american soldiers. Nothing was worse than being taken against your will to a camp where you were forced to work or the consequences were execution. Louie's biggest enemy was "The Bird". A man who dehumanized Louie just because of his accomplishments. Being an Olympic athlete, an officer, and a american soldier The Bird starved, beat, and mentally torn down Louie to his core, to his last bone in his body. He took what fight and will Louie had and threw it in the dirt like his life was meaningless...The pride to live and his family kept Louie alive all those years. Nothing could motivate him more than seeing his family again.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the person vs society conflict because in my book, Guy faces against society when he steals books and reads them. He also faces person vs person conflict because he has internal stress and conflict on how to express himself.
DeleteI can relate to person vs society conflict in this book. Sirius is actually innocent but everyone thinks he is a murderer on the run. So he is found innocent by Harry and his friends but he has to go into hiding.
DeleteIn my book, Looking for Alaska, the main conflict is person vs person. Miles is going against his friend Alaska. Although he loves her, she is a lot to handle at times. After Alaska gets into a tragic accident, Miles has a hard time coming to terms with it all. He avoids his friends and blames himself for everything. He also pitties himself because he basically claimed Alaska as his. The conflict of my book changes the entire mood. It goes from a happy and fun time at boarding school to a morbid friendship story. The conflict is resolved when Miles and Chip solve what happened to their friend and come to realize that Alaska would forgive them for what happened. Their friendship returns to what it was before the accident and Miles realizes that he wasn't the only one hurting after the accident.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like it has a more person vs self conflict with Miles warring against himself by blaming himself for what happened to her. Miles avoiding his friends and "claiming" Alaska for himself also would have created turmoil in his head and i could see how that would affect the writing style of the book.
DeleteMy character is struggling with a person vs person conflict as well. Miles doesn't understand why his friend might commit suicide so he tries to prove that it was an accident.
ReplyDeleteIn my book, Pretty Dead Girls, the conflict is person vs. person. Pretty much every person in the book is involved in the conflict. The main conflict is murder. All the Senior Larks' girls (girls that go out in the community to help and do good deeds) are being murdered. My main character teams up with one of her best friends and her boyfriend to try to figure out who is murdering all these girls, once her friend dies it's all up to her and her boyfriend. Without spoiling what happens and who the murderer is, Cass and Penelope find out who the murderer is, and they are taken into custody.
ReplyDeleteMy book can sort of relate to yours. My book in A Dogs Purpose the dog is trying to figure out what his purpose is, which the dog did do. So it can relate toy yours with the 3 people trying to figure out who killed all those people.
DeleteMy book can also relate to yours as well. In mine Promise Not to Tell it is sort of like your book with characters in my book also teaming up to save this one girl from her abductor and they also ended up killing him and found out that he killed the other two girls as well.
DeleteMy book can somewhat relate to yours. Mine has a lot of person vs person as well. The girls that are in good colleges are getting murdered because hes jealous of them. These people go out to find the murderer. She thought she could rely on her ex boyfriend, until something happens.
Deletein my book blue lily lily blue there are many conflicts throughout the book. there is are alot of person verses person and person verses supernatural.the main character blue and a hand full of others face a super natural abject like a timeless cave that they venture into to find blues sister. before they entered they had to gain the cave waters trust in order to be in the cave and be safe in the cave.this conflict adds to the story because. if they did not have that part the story would of changed alot.
ReplyDeleteIn Fahrenheit 451, Guy faces several different conflicts. He faces person vs society because he thinks differently and wants to read books. That is very different in his society. He also faces person vs self conflict because he wants everyone to know what he knows but he knows if he does show others, he could be arrested. He eventually gives in and shows people. They call him in and he is again in a person vs society conflict as he runs from the police. He uses these conflicts to push him through the tough times.
ReplyDeleteDearest Ben,
DeleteI agree that a conflict in the novel is person vs society, but I think that he not only wants to read books, he wants to have other people feel emotions besides happiness and care about each other instead of just living their lives without caring about anything at all besides just having fun.
The conflict going on in my book is quite similar due to the fact that Tobias has to make a decision to tell his faction that their leaders are teaming with a faction that they themselves hate, or tell his native faction that they are going to be slaughtered, both resulting in him being a traitor to somebody.
DeleteThis seems like a type of book I would read. It sounds really good and seems like its full of excitement. I think if I wasn't reading my book I would be reading this one.
DeleteI definitely love how the author makes up his own kind of future, and I would love to read this some day.
DeleteI have read this book in the past if given the opportunity i would read it again, this is one of my favorite books. i would recommend this book to anyone. especially someone who dost like books, it gives good perspective.
DeleteThere is a conflict in my book which is also person vs society. Sirius is a innocent guy who didn't kill anyone but everyone thinks he is the bad guy. So he has to go into hiding, but , Harry knows he is, so he is fine for that.
DeleteIn my book Promise Not to Tell there are not too many conflicts. One of the main conflicts would be person vs. person. The conflict is that the main character and her mom are disagreeing on weather or not the mom should go to a nursing home because she has a bad case of Alzheimer's. The main character Kate handles it quite well because she remained calm and collected while the mom kept saying that she did not want to go there because she did not want to give up her home. This conflict adds to the story line because it involves the two main people in this story and it also the most interesting conflict in the story. The conflict gets resolved by not having the mom go to the nursing home and remaining at her house.
ReplyDeletein the book night i think there are two main conflicts. there are person vs environment and person vs self. through out the book the main character has to have the will to get through every day. He not only has to work really hard everyday but he also barely gets any food at all if he is lucky the soup is a little thicker but that is about it. in one part of the book he had surgery but he still had to run other wise he would have been killed in the prison along with all of the other people in the hospital. One of the hardest parts for him was when his father died. After that happened he had no reason to live and was just dreaming about food and was watching everyone get walked out of the camp since it was closer to the end of the book. I think this book is person vs environment because throughout the book the Germans are forcing all of the Jews inside of concentration camps and killing the majority of them. In one of the camps he went to there were 1000 Jews dieing in just one day.
ReplyDelete*person vs society
DeleteI would agree that your book has all three of those conflicts and it is impressive that he never gave up.
DeleteI Agree that that is the main conflict of the story
DeleteI agree it is crazy how he never gave up and survived the holocaust.
Deletethere sounds like there are many conflicts throughout your book. its hard to imagine that actually happened
DeleteIn Fahrenheit 451, the novel's conflict is person vs society. Guy Montag's goal is to get society to understand that feeling an emotion besides happy at all times is a bad thing. Without feeling any other emotion, people don't care about each other, they don't even care if a family member or friend dies and people kill each other for fun. Guy tries to force others to feel emotions by reading to them, but later he realizes that he has to wait for society to want to feel emotions. He joins a society where they memorize books for when society is ready to read again. It ends with Guy and the group that he's with leaving to join another group in another city. The novel is left open ended where the conflict is not resolved and what happens next is up to the reader's imagination.
ReplyDeleteThe conflict in my book is with the main character. The conflict is Person vs self. The main character Captain Scott O'Grady gets shot down and he fights with himself to survive. He wants to do something but he always double guesses himself and never does it. Even tho Scott fights with himself he handles his emotions very well for being by himself trying to survive. The conflict adds to the story because it makes the story a lot more in depth and longer. The conflict is resolved when Scott is rescued.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Scott had a tough time surviving by himself, I know I would. I wonder why he was double guessing himself so much when the move he could've made would've saved his life quicker. This reminds me of my book when the swim team wants to give up on the season when one of their teammates gets ill. They keep thinking it's the right thing to do, but end up keeping the season going in honor of their teammate. Glad that Scott ended up getting rescued.
DeleteSounds like a different type of survival book. It sounds like it would be good read because it is person vs self but also person vs nature.
DeleteMy book is person vs self to so we have a little in common and how they have to survive in the woods with nothing to have or anything.

ReplyDeleteThe conflict going on in my book is Tobias making a decision on which faction to betray, he found out that his faction Dauntless, and the faction Erudite are planning to start a war against his native faction Abnegation, he does not know whether to tell Abnegation they are going to be slaughtered, or tell Dauntless their leaders are conspiring against them.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a intense conflict. A very personal decision for Tobias to make. This sounds like a person vs self conflict for tobias to decide. i look foward to finding out who he betrays.
DeleteI agree with that it does sound like person vs self because it is all his choice on what he decides to do.
DeleteSounds like a very hard choice! it would be very hard to turn on people you know no matter what is happening!
DeleteIn my book "Holding up the Universe" Libby is fighting against her peer's acceptance and body standards. In today' society, women are expected to have the most flawless physique and if they have one single flaw, they are shamed. This gives people who don't fit the expectations grief! Libby faces criticism everywhere she goes by her fellow classmates. Libby finally says enough is enough during her gym class during their swim unit, and wears a bikini for everyone to see her confidence. Sadly the conflict was never resolved in this book. I believe it's because bullying is honestly impossible to diminish. There's always going to be those peers that don't like how you look or who you are, and that's okay. It just depends on your mental strength to resolve the conflict in your head to give yourself confidence because you only need yourself!
ReplyDeleteThis kind of reminds me of my book and how my main character August gets made fun of and looked at everywhere he goes because of how he looks. Your book sounds very good though.
DeleteIt sounds like a book I would really enjoy. Bullying is never and easy thing for anyone. I think over the summer I may try finding time to read it.
DeleteIn my novel Stotan! the main character Walker along with his teammates face the conflict of person vs self and person vs society when one member of the swim team is diagnosed with a blood disease. At first the team didn't handle the news well when they found out what was wrong with Jeff because they wanted to call it season because they didn't think they could swim without Jeff. After a while the team decided that they should keep the season alive and swim for Jeff and make it to state. They did make to state where they swam their best times, some for state records. This conflict adds to the story because I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen to Jeff and what the team would do at state. The author doesn't really say how Jeff ends up and therefore the conflict isn't really resolved.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very good book and I feel like a lot of people can relate to it. I say that because usually when a player from a team gets hurt the team then tries there best to win a game or even a title for the team and that person who wasn't able to play the game.
DeleteThe primary conflict in the book was when August first started going to school. This conflict would be considered as person vs society. The people that are involved in this conflict would be students and their parents because at the beginning of the book not a lot of people liked that he was going to Beecher. This leads to another conflict that has happened throughout the book because August is very self cautious because of how he looks and that conflict would be known as person vs self. August usually just ignored what people said and kept going throughout the day like nothing happened, but sometimes he would take it to heart and cry about it. With the primary conflict the story would be less dramatic without it. At the end of the book people got used to August and would talk to him and they realized that he is a good kid so the primary conflict ended up not being a huge issue at the end of the book.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so much like mine! The students in my book were so cruel to the main character for being overweight. Seems people can't accept people different from them. Your book sounds wonderful!
DeleteI've seen the movie and people say that the book is better. I think that it is crazy that even at that young of age people at that judgmental.
DeleteI have read the book before and loved it! its crazy how everyone was extremely judgmental at first but found out hes a good kid.
DeleteMy book, "Black Ice" had a few different kind of conflicts. The person vs nature was the first one because it's what got them in the bad situation in the first place. There was a huge snow storm on their way to the cabin in the mountains. They got stranded on their way there and it led to the next conflict. Person vs person is the next conflict shown in the book. It was Britt against her kidnappers. She had to learn to survive through Shaun's torture without being killed. Mason on the other hand, we find out he was never against her and he was actually trying to help her without showing it. Throughout the book she also has person vs self. She denies that she has any feelings towards Mason and she fights with herself with the realization that she does. She likes Mason and that's reality. She had to fight quite a bit with herself over that.

ReplyDeletewhats the bad situation in the first place? i like books with lots of conflicts tho!
DeletePoison Princess has a major conflict of person vs supernatural. It really is Evie verses many other character card of the Tarot deck. The Arcana (the people of the game) must all battle each other to determine a winner of the game. this game an only have one winner and only that winner lives. through out the game the characters will make alliances and try to stay alive. it kinda is like the hunger games except that the players all have superpowers. At first Evie wants nothing to do with this game, even though she a a major player, but as the book progressed she finally accepted her role in the game and grows her powers. As this book is part of the series, this book mostly only built the conflict and only had a small resolution with Evie killing Author.
ReplyDeleteit sounds like there is alot that happens in your in your book. although. it dont seem like the kid of book that i would be in to.
DeleteThe main conflict in my book would be person v.s society because it takes during the holocaust and the Germans were trying to kill off the jews. The main character Elie Wiesel handles the conflict by when they they are told that they will be fine he knew differently. the conflict plays a big part in the storyline because without it the story would have never been written. the conflict is solved at the end of the story when america takes over the camps and the jews are free.
ReplyDeletethat sounds really interesting i might have to read it sometime.
DeleteAlthough in my book there is a lot of person vs person conflict there was a lot of person vs self in book 3 of the Michael Vey series. the characters have been in peru, and they have been trying to hide and get away from the soldiers, and at this time, they are tired of all the running and fighting, They want peace, but I think that its too late for that, because they have been in this fight for so long that they cant be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I have read, I feel like its never to late to get away from it and that they should try to.
DeleteIn my book the conflict is more person vs. person and person vs. self because Ted has conflict with the coach because he will not let him play. Then the person vs. self is because he argues with him self in his head. It happens alot when he is sitting on the bench because he has nothing better to do the watch the 3rd baseman or just think to him self.
ReplyDeleteIn my book, my main character Lindsay is dealing with Negil's aplastic anemia while trying to find a murder. She deals with this by going to a doctor to get blood transfusions to try to increase the amount of red blood cells in her. It add to the story by making Lindsay worried about herself while she hunts down the killer in her recent case. It was resolved when the blood transfusion worked and Lindsay was cured.
ReplyDeleteIn my book Kipling's choice there is only one conflict which is person versus person. John is under pressure from his dad about being an officer in the war and to fight in the front line. This causes john to push himself to the point were he does not want to do it anymore. The big thing this led too was when he was in is first battle ever, he charged through an open field and just about committed suicide. I think he did this to make his dad happy, and also to escape the mess he was going through.
ReplyDeleteIn my book Cujo the main conflict is person vs. person. The dog is the whole reason why the conflict happened. The dog got rabbies when he was trying to catch a rabbit and it fell into a hole. Cujo the dog then tried to get out of the hole but he didn't know that there were bats in the hole. He started to dig and he woke up the bats, one of the bats bit Cujo. Later in the book a woman and a child were getting their car fixed and when they made it to the house where they were getting it fixed and the car broke down. When the woman got out of the car Cujo started running towards her and attacked her. She made it to the car before he could kill her. Cujo then locked them in their car. The car got really hot and the woman thought the were going to die in it. They made it out and the woman killed the dog with a baseball bat.
ReplyDeletethat sounds really sad but also sounds like a good book.
DeleteSounds like the dog put the woman in a hard place. I feel like reading this book I'd cry with a dog dying in it. I hope it was good otherwise.
DeleteIn my book the trials of Apollo the main conflict is person vs person because Apollo kind of argues with himself later on in the book on if he gets the chance if he should become a god again because through the book Apollo gets to finally meet his three kids. Kayla, Austin, and William he gets to spend alot of time with them so in the end when he has to leave the camp and them behind he doesn't really want to. in the end getting to the end of the book he quits complaining about being a mortal and finally starts to realize why being a mortal is so great. He learned that being a mortal is so great because if you find that one person you love that growing old with them is more important than being immortal and living forever.
ReplyDeleteIn my book The Perks of Being a Wallflower the conflict is Person vs self. Charlie is a great kid but he isnt super healthy in the head. sometimes he gets extremely sad and other times hes perfectly fine. Charlies problem hasnt been as bad since he now has 2 best friends. having the friends has helped him get his mind off of the recent sucide of one of his best friends and the death of his aunt helen. this conflict adds to the story by showing how important and helpful friends can be!
ReplyDeleteWith the issues that the character faced in your book it seems like he has had to go through tough times. I would have to think that there are a lot more conflicts that he has to face in lie other than ones they mention in the story.
DeleteIn The Returned my book is mostly about person v. society because of how the Returned are treated. They are discriminated because they are very mysterious for returning from the dead and none of them know why or how throughout the whole entire story. I also believe that person v. self is a big one for the main character Harold, because he feels like his Returned son, Jacob isn't his son but a copy, or a fake but Harold ends up liking Jacob in the end.
ReplyDeleteIn my book Two Minute Drill the main character named Scott goes through quite a bit of conflicts throughout the story. On the first day of school Scott was standing outside waiting for the bus and one of the football players named Jimmy Dolan came over and pushed him to the ground and called him names. Scott would end up getting bullied by Jimmy throughout the entire book until the end. Another time is when Scott wanted to go out for the football team but wasn't any good at it but he still loved playing the game. Chris Conlan the star quarterback became friends with Scott and pushed him to keep trying. at the end of the story it ends up paying off because Scott makes the game winning field goal to win the Championship game.

ReplyDeleteI hate bullying and I think it sucks and people need to stand up to bullies. Talk to someone if someone is bullying a person. I think I have read this book and it was very good. The endingis the best part because he wins the game and can kind of get jimmy off his back.
DeleteIn the magic thief the main conflict is person vs the supernatural. The main character Connwaer and his Master Nevery are trying to find out why the magic of the city is on a sharp decline, if the magic completely disappears things will start to break down, bushiness will stop and the city will go into poverty and eventually people will have to abandon it, so finding the solution is essential. Person vs Society is also a big conflict. Connwaer was a thief and street rat before he became a wizards apprentice, and people still prejudice him for it.
ReplyDeleteIn Tell Me Three Things, my conflict is person to self. She is talking to the person that nobody has ever heard of. She keeps doubting herself he won't be anything like what she imagines when they email each other. Through the book she thinks its always certain people but it never is. she starts to doubt herself in figuring out who it is until he decides to meet her. With this conflict, Jessie ( the main character) and SN (somebody nobody) are the main people involved. The conflict us Jessie is doubting herself on believing and trusting SN when she doesn't even know him in real life. She handles the conflict by wanting to meet SN and finally having the courage to tell him she wants to meet. This conflict adds to the story line because without it, the book wouldn't make much sense and it shows how much trust people will put into finding out who someone is. The conflict is resolved by them meeting at an IHOP and the outcome is a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI feel as if this story is really good and has a lot suspense.
DeleteOne of the main characters sounds somewhat similar to one of the characters in my book. It sounds very interesting.
DeleteIn my book my person deals with person to self also. She looks to alcohol a couple times because she finds it the easy way out. She soon regrets it because she feels like er dead mother wouldn't aprove
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict is dwayne wade and his questionable knee. He is playing in the NBA finals and they have a couple games left and he is showing pain in his right knee. All the reporters and media are questioning if he will be alright. He is trying not to listen to all the media, but all dwayne wade needs is one phone call. Guess who he calls Tim Grover and he gets on his private plan and he flies to Chicago to go meet with Tim Grover, the next game is less than 48 hours away in maimi. It adds to the story line because it shows how much Tim grover and dwayne wade are cleaners. The conflict with his knee issues is resolved because of tim grover looking at the problem changing some things dwayne does when he jumps.
ReplyDeleteIn The Cycle Of The Werewolf the conflict is the towns predator the Werewolf; therefor it is Person Vs Supernatural. Through out the whole story we read about different characters deaths and struggles but toward the middle of the book we learn about a young boy who lived after meeting the werewolf. The town had set up a curfew and canceled the fourth of July fireworks. So he himself had set a few off at home and drew the beasts attention upon seeing the beast he shot it in the eye with a firework and it ran away. Later he is moved to another town so he doesn't get attacked again but when he returns for school later in the year he realizes who the towns secret beast is, and struggles to find a way to bring his rein of terror to an end. It was refreshing to read the story from this characters view because it takes multiple stories and combines them into one with a bow on top.
ReplyDeleteMy conflict in my book is person vs self. I think its person vs self because when he was fighting in the war he started to take a white pill because he was running low on energy so they gave them pill to keep him going. Then he started to snort gun powder and cocaine. Then he went to a rehab center and then they were shaking because of the drugs wore off.
ReplyDeleteMy book is Night by Elie Wiesel. The main conflict in my book in person vs person. Eliezer's conflict in with the soldiers controlling the concentration camps that him and his father are being held in. The German soldiers in one part throw bread into the cattle cars where prisoners are being held, and watch the prisoners kill each other over bread. Eliezer is nearly killed because of this situation. In the ending of the book Elie is only concerned with only food during his remaining months at the camp. He is later released from the camp and finally sees himself in front of a mirror for the first time again.
ReplyDeleteIshmael a child soldier, learned to take care of himself no matter what even if that means killing the people in front of him along the way. The book a long way gone follows a person verses society conflict. the conflict is dealing with and surviving the war. he dose this by walking many nights in the cold and rain to escape the war, and eventually take up arms an fight and kill. the conflict gives the entire story meaning and a perpous. the book is resolved with him fleeing the war to america.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict in my book is person vs supernatural. Harry and his friends are in the conflict with an escaped prisoner who is actually innocent. Throughout the conflict Harry finds out Sirius is his godfather and actually didn't kill those people. Right away when Harry finds Sirius he his very angry with him because he thought he was the one who told Voldemort where his parents were. He eventually calms down when he is told the truth about what all happened and who it actually was. This conflict is the main point of the story so without this there would not be a story at all. The conflict is resolved because Sirius is still safe, but the real person who did it is still on the run.
ReplyDeleteIn Down the Long Hills, the main conflict is a combination of person vs. person as well as person vs. nature. Hardy a 7 year old boy must survive on the prairie, while taking care of a 3 year old girl. His only hope is his horse and that his father is out looking for them. With out this conflict there would be no story. Hardy must lose a Indian that is trailing him, but also leave a trail for his father to follow. He must also fight the weather, winter is coming and when it snows it will be big. Hardy handles all of this with the knowledge his father taught him and the hope to make it to Fort Bridger.
ReplyDeleteIn my book After you the main Conflict is person vs self because the fight with her self and how she handles the grieving process with all the drinking. Because of the transition without will. In the way she drinks its not a little. its a couple bottles of wine. and at the beginning i didn't think she would be able to find anyone because of that big of a loss. but she does so she finally get over that conflict.

ReplyDeleteThe conflict in cracker is that rick was assigned a dog that was what he called dumb. In the army if you are a dog handler you have to keep your eyes on your dog and let the men behind you watch you back. Also you a at point most of the time meaning if you make any contact with the enemy you will be the first to encounter. Rick did not like the idea that he had to have a "dumb" dog be in charge of whether he gets home in one piece or not. The training was a huge struggle for rick because cracker was depressed because she missed he other owner that she was mad at the world and was not a friendly dog. Cracker realized it is not getting any better so she decided to make the best of it and actually try her and rick over came their differences and became the best dog team in Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteOne of the main characters, Zoe, has a conflict with herself. Zoe had many mental disabilities. One of the major ones was one that was not diagnosed but explained throughout the book. She would hear and see voices and Aliens. She also had bipolar disorder. Everyday she would have to battle with it. Her mom kept wanting to put her in a metal institute but she did not want to go. Zoe wanted her friend, Hannah, to run away with her but hannah had her own stuff to deal with. Hannah had to deal with her dad being an alcoholic and being an embarrassment showing up at work as a weatherman completely drunk. Zoe did not handle things well. Zoe ended up committing suicide by jumping off the grand canyon and Hannah ended having a hard time with losing her best friend but ended up doing very well and being very successful later on in life.
ReplyDeleteThe conflict is person vs supernatural, the hole book is about tucker and his friends trying to survive and fight back against the mysterious alien black planes that are wiping out the human race . Tucker handles the situation he is in by taking leader ship over his friends and giving them some one to trust, this adds to the story by giving the characters in the book unity. Tucker and Tori go on a mission to stop the black planes using c4 explosives and destroyed the entire fleet.
ReplyDeletemy book has a bomber in it which is similar to your C4 incident.
DeleteThe Characters in my book deal with lots of conflict, from a murderer on the loose bombs going off and people conspiring against themselves my book has person vs. person, person vs. self, and person vs. unknown.
