away from a busy city life. Unfortunately, during his days in the forest, he struggled with the heavy rains and
wind as well as the small animals in the forest who destroyed his food and campsite.

objectionable, Betty decided to create a group of like-minded people who were willing to fight city hall.

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Both of these examples of conflict are external conflicts. Meaning the main protagonist is fighting against an outside force.

The first one is character vs. nature or man vs. nature because the harsh weather is what’s preventing Don from being able to enjoy his camping trip.

The second one is character vs. society. The government (the mayor) has outlawed books and in turn the character has to create a underground society to enjoy such material.

Hope this helps.
