Plot Conflict - Character vs Society - The Island of the Skog

Conflict

Conflict
The essence of fiction. 
It creates plot. 

The conflicts we encounter can usually be identified as one of four kinds: 
Character vs Character, Character vs Nature, Character vs Society, or Character vs Self.

Character vs Society
In writing time today we read the story The Island of the Skog By Stephen Kellogg.
It is an example of Character vs Society conflict.

Character vs. society -- 
This is a conflict where a character does not conform or follow a society's/cultures rules. 


Definition of 'society' -
*any organised group of people joined together because of work, interest, etc. in common.
*a group of persons regarded as forming a single community.
