What are the 4 types of conflict, and why does every story we read have conflict?

        Conflict is when the character comes between something that is stopping them. The 4 types of conflict are, Man vs. Self, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Man, and Man vs. Society. One type of conflict we often see is Man vs. Man. For example, The Hunger Games is a Man vs. Man book. Another type of conflict is Man vs. Nature. One movie that describes Man vs. Nature is The Impossible.

        All stories have conflict because all of the stories that are exciting, have a conflict, that is what makes us be on the edge of your seat. Author's include conflict because it captures the reader and makes the story more exciting. The book I am currently reading is called Dough Boy. The conflict is that his parents are divorced so he his depressed and gains weight. This shows conflict because the more weight he gains, the more chance he has of dying.
