MJ: R.I.P.

Discussion Question: How can I cite evidence and use the text to support my ideas? 

Identifying Conflict
Conflict is the problem or struggle the main character encounters throughout the plot. Internal conflict (man vs. self) is when the character struggles with his or her own emotions or thoughts. External conflict (man vs. man, man vs. society, man vs. nature) is the character struggles with factors outside of his or her control.

Directions: Identify the conflicts that the two main characters face throughout the video. Write the internal conflicts inside their bodies. Write the external conflicts outside or around their bodies.
