In 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain the conflict in your Module One short story. Identify the conflict as internal or external and classify it as man vs. nature, man vs. man, man vs. self, or man vs. society. Provide at least two specific details from the text to describe the conflict.

In this story, we learn about the experiences of a man who has been imprisoned in a gulag, a Soviet labour camp. The story emphasizes the struggles of the people in the gulag, but also the difficulties they faced when it came to remaining humane, or even positive. There are two conflicts that can be identified in the story. First, man vs. society. This is because the imprisoned men experience a conflict against the gulag, an institution created by their society which attempts to destroy their humanity ("Everyone looked out for himself here").

The other conflict is that of man vs. self, as all the men struggled in an attempt to hold unto their humanity and their hopes for the future ("I can’t live like this any longer. “Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.”"). Therefore, the story presents both an external and an internal conflict.

In literature, conflicts represent the adversities that the protagonists go through and the problems they need to solve. Conflicts are very important to generate movement in the plot.

As you did not present the short story that your question refers to, it is not possible to show internal and external conflicts in a specific way, but I will explain how to recognize these conflicts.

You will need to read the short story to recognize the types of conflicts. They can be identified as follows:

Internal conflict: It's a conflict the character has against his or her thoughts and emotions. This type of conflict occurs when the character is confused, or fighting his own will.

External conflict: When the character faces problems that are not created by his thoughts, but are created by things outside his body, such as people, ghosts, monsters, among others.

You can also identify conflicts more specifically as follows:

Man against nature: This is the conflict where the character must face the strength and violence of nature, that is, this character must face blizzards, storms, rough seas, ferocious animals, among others.

Man versus Man: Occurs when the character must face another character, such as a family member, a school bully, a human villain, among others.

Man against himself: Occurs when the character is facing an internal conflict, where he struggles against his own convictions, emotions and thoughts.

Man against society: Occurs when the character has to face a group of people.
