The 5 Conflicts

*Man vs. Nature
*Man vs. God
*Man vs. Man
*Man vs. Self
*Man vs. Society

~~These are the five types of conflict that we discussed in class. In my book, Out of the Silent Planet, almost all of them are presented. The first onewould be Man vs. Nature. The main character named Ransom is kidnapped and taken to the distant planet called Malacandra. After escaping his captors, Ransom is all alone to fend for himself on this strange new planet. He has to deal with the unusual water that surrounds the planet, the alongated shape of everything due to a different gravitational pull (i think) , and the odd color that tints every "tree" and what seems to be vegetation. The next one would be Man vs. Man. Ransom fights with his captors Divine and Weston. Man vs. Self. When Ransom runs away he is all alone in the "woods" of Malacandra. He becomes scared and lonely and begins to talk to himself. I cannot think of examples for the other two. There really is no example for society yet. If anyone can help, please respond!!! :) ~~
