Types of Conflict Worksheet 1


Directions: Read the description of the story. Determine the protagonist (central character) and
antagonist (opposing force). Then describe the type of conflict (example: person vs. nature).
1. As far back as Brendon could remember, he only wanted one girl, Alice Dailey. To Brendon, she was
perfect in every way. There was just one problem: every time Brendon tried to talk to her, he felt butterflies
in his stomach and then he threw up in his mouth. To overcome his fear, Brendon enlists the help of the
coolest guy in the school, Max Mansion, to teach him how to talk to girls. Will Brendon be able to summon
the nerve to ask out Alice with Max's help, or will he just puke in his mouth again?

Protagonist: ________Brendon__________ Antagonist: _____Brendon_____


Type of Conflict: Internal: Person vs self

Conflict: Brendon can’t talk to Alice because he gets nervous.

2. Justin didn't want to get involved in the struggle for civil rights. He just wanted to go to school.
Unfortunately, many people in the community did not want Justin to go to their school because of his African
American heritage. A simple walk to school becomes a powerful march for rights as Justin, a group of civil
rights leaders, and millions of supporters make Justin's case the centerpiece in a heated battle for equal rights.
Protagonist: ________Justin____________ Antagonist: ______the people in the school community___
Conflict: He wants to go to school but people from the school community don’t want him there.
Type of Conflict: External: Person vs Society

3. Jerome and his family are vacationing on an island in tropical paradise. The waters are clear, the skies are
big, and sand is clean. Suddenly, when a rumble shakes Jerome's sister off of her beach chair, Jerome
remembers that the island on which they are staying is one big volcano. Soon the mountain releases its wrath
and the eruption threatens every person on the island. Will Jerome and his family ever make it back home?
Protagonist: ________Jerome_________ Antagonist: ______The volcano______
Conflict: A volcano erupts while Jerome and his family are in the beach.

4. Everything was going just fine for Mae until yesterday. That was when she found out that her eyes
were turning green. In Mae's world people discriminate against those with green eyes. Green-eyed
people cannot vote or hold public office and they are often forced to work the worst jobs for the least
pay, if they can even find a job. Mae's parents want her to have surgery to change her eye color, but her
grandma, who also has green eyes, encourages her to fight for her rights. With her grandma behind her,
Mae joins a resistance movement and becomes the poster child for green-eyed rights, but how will all of
this attention affect Mae's family, especially her parents who wanted her to hide who she was?

Protagonist: _____Mae________ Antagonist: ______Society_______


Conflict: People discriminate those who have green eyes.
Type of Conflict: External: Person vs Society
5. It's Carly's 8th grade year and she wants to graduate more than anything else. Unfortunately she's been
