PLSSS HELP ME, I READ THE BOOK AND STILL DONT UNDERSTAND In many fictional stories, characters must overcome a difficult journey to accomplish a specific goal. Think
about the main character in a novel you recently read (The Hobbit, A Wrinkle in Time, or The Old Man and the
Sea). Consider the journey the main character participated in and how the character dealt with that
journey. Next, think about whether the character learned more from participating in the journey or from
achieving his or her goal. You will explain your thoughts about the main character in a group discussion.
Now that you have considered the discussion topic, write a one paragraph summary of the journey the
main character completes in the novel you selected. Make sure your summary includes the name of the
novel and the main character you are discussing.

  the conflict is the challenge the main character need to solve to achieve their goals, is the major literary element because creates challenges in the story by addin uncertainty to if the goal would be achieved. in the story could be more than a single conflict, in fact, most of the stories have a diversity of them. the resolution creates a closure that may or may not be the end of the story.

  the basic types of conflict have been classified as "person againsta nature", "person against person" and "persona against self". nevertheless the basic types, some authors think that it could be more than only three types, for instance:

  i´m gonna give you a little summary about the three basic types that i think are the one importants for the question

  the confict involves stories where characters are against each other, is an external conflict, as in a gun fight or a robbery or it could be more subtle between the desires of the characters as in a love story. this type of conflict is very common in traditional literature, fairy tales and myths.

  is an external conflict between the character and an animal or a force of nature, like a tornado,a storm or even a rain. a great example of this is ernest hemingway´s "the old man and the sea"   in which the main character struggle with a marlin when he was fishing.

  in this case the conflict is internal, the character must overcome her or his own nature or make a choice between two paths.

  i hope the answer is correct and you. regards
