Conflict as a literary device
Conflict is a problem or struggle in a story that triggers action. There are 6 basic types of conflict:
Person vs Person: one character has a problem with one or more of the other characters.
Person vs Society: a character has a problem with some element of society
Person vs Self: a character has a problem deciding what to do in a particular situation.
Person vs Nature: a character has a problem with some natural occurrence: a snowstorm, an avalanche, the bitter cold, or any other element of nature.
Person vs Fate: a character has to battle what seems to be an uncontrollable problem. Whenever the problem seems to be a strange or unbelievable coincidence, fate can be considered the cause of the conflict.
Person vs Machine: a character has to confront technology or other elements of human creation (as opposed to natural or divine creation).
Task: Write a single, logical, and clear paragraph describing one type of conflict represented in Holes.
