Definition: A clash or disagreement, often violent, between two or more opposing groups or individuals.
Alright class, settle down, letâs take a look today,
At a word that pops up in stories, come what may!
Weâre talking about
conflict
, a tricky thing to see,
More than just shouting, it's so much more for me.
The dictionary tells us, with words precise and neat,
âA clash or disagreement, often violent, between two or more opposing groups or individuals sweetâŚor not!â
(Letâs pause there for a moment, a little chuckle too!)
Think of it like this: imagine two friends who disagree,
About a favorite toy â oh dear, oh dear! That's a small conflict, you see.
But bigger conflicts happen in tales we adore,
Like knights battling dragons, wanting something more!
Itâs not just arguing, though shouting can be part,
It's about differing views, a challenging start.
Two sides with different goals, a struggle to pursue,
A push and pull, a problem â thatâs the conflict for you!
So remember this meaning, keep it in your head,
Conflict is a force that makes stories spread!
Now, does anyone have an example they'd like to share? Letâs hear from you with care!
