31. LEQ: How does central conflict drive a story ’ s plot?

32. Supporting the Central Conflict Learn how character and plot development, point of view and tone are used to support a central conflict or story line

33. Importance of Central Conflict Basically, all stories come down to the central conflict. The central conflict is the problem with which the main character is confronted EXAMPLE: In Toystory, Woody feels as though Andy loves another toy (Buzz Lightyear) more than him.

34. Without the central conflict, you have no story. You just have a few characters talking to eachother or running around, but no story. EXAMPLE: Imagine if Toystory had no central conflict, you would just have a bunch of characters hanging out in a little boy's bedroom-- not a story.

35. In short, the purpose of everything in a story (characters, setting, plot, point of view, tone) is to support your central conflict. If it doesn't move the story along towards a resolution of the central conflict it shouldn't be in the story.
