know about the word conflict? What does it mean? B. Lesson Proper (12 minutes) Thank you Arthur, do you think we also experience these conflicts in real life? Who among you has never experienced even a single conflict in his/her life?
Well now, as we consider conflict as a common experience, we can identify them into two types and four kinds. The two kinds are: internal and external. What is your idea of an internal conflict? How about external ones?
Jerci: I think no one has never experienced a conflict because it’s a proof that we are truly human. Amer: I agree with her ma’am, we encounter problems because of our imperfections, shortcomings and weaknesses or vulnerability.
Floyd: An internal conflict ma’am I guess is experienced by a person within himself... while the external conflict is caused by other things outside oneself.
Definitely Floyd. The internal conflict as the name suggests occurs inside the person, his or her problem lies within himself not anything else, while the external conflict Georgia: Yes ma’am. Man vs. Man.... are caused by outside forces, things, or Frederick: Man vs. Circumstances... persons. John Robin: Man vs. Society...
Students ask Under those two types, we have more clarifications. specific types of conflicts. Will you read for us the types of conflict Georgia? Frederick? John Robin?
Thank you. So those are the more specific identification of conflicts. Do you have questions so far?

What things is she missing? SILENT READING OF EPISODE III (3 minutes) Questions: What are the two young couple laughing at about Miss Brill? How did that conversation affect Miss Brill? Why do you think Miss Brill wears her old red eiderdown? Do you think she finds it hard to forget about her past life?
They’re laughing about Miss Brill’s fur, and her habitual appearance at the place. She wears her old eiderdown because she misses her life before when she was an actress on stage,
She has an internal conflict, Man vs. Herself. I think she should move on to what life brought her at present, not to dwell on the past because there are lots of things that she can appreciate even if she’s not on stage anymore. Yes ma’am. No, it’s not healthy...
