At the beginning of "Thank You, Ma'am" by Langston Hughes, there is an example of Man versus Man conflict. In this portion of the text, a young boy tries to steal a woman's purse, which causes them both to fall. She gets upset, and kicks him, therefore making this a brief example of Man vs. Man conflict.
