Oliver Twist Conflicts

           Conflicts are what keep a person reading a book and without conflicts a story would be very boring. There are four types of conflicts man vs. man, man vs. self, man vs. society, and man vs. nature. During this exercise I give examples of two conflicts from Oliver Twist and then explain.

Man vs. Society
1) Man vs. Society- During the story Oliver is judged by the way he looks, for example, the time during chapter 14 when Mr. Grimwig comes in and just seeing how he looks he makes a judgement of Oliver.

Man vs. Nature
2) Man vs. Nature- Oliver is constantly in a state of life or death situations throughout the whole story. An example of this is when Oliver gets the fever and gets severly ill, but with the help of some new friends he pulls through.

  1. Use a colon when introducing a lost. For example "There are four types of conflict: man vs. man, . . . ." Notice the use of the colon.

    Other than that, your post is very organized. Nice job.
