In act 2, scene 1, we learn about internal and external conflicts for characters in A Raisin in the Sun. Using what you learn about internal and external conflicts on slide 2 of unit 3, lesson 3, identify one internal and one external conflict that exist in your own life. Explain each conflict in complete sentences.
Internal conflict:
External conflict:
Internal conflict: One internal conflict in my life is the struggle to balance my personal goals and desires with the expectations and demands of my family. On one hand, I have dreams and aspirations that I want to pursue, but on the other hand, my family has certain expectations of me and wants me to prioritize their needs. This creates a conflict within me as I grapple with finding a compromise between my own desires and the responsibilities I have towards my family.
External conflict: An external conflict in my life is the ongoing disagreement I have with my neighbor over the boundary between our properties. We have conflicting opinions on where the actual boundary lies, and this has resulted in frequent arguments and disputes. It has become a source of frustration and tension as we both feel strongly about our positions and are unwilling to compromise. This external conflict has created a hostile environment and has even led to legal proceedings to settle the matter.
