Conflict Types

Person vs. Nature
Coyote stood, absorbed in his memories about the storm.  He wished that he could erase them from his mind.  Why did that tornado have to come anyway?  And why to his desert, of all of them in the Grand Canyon state?  Before, the food was prosperous: Elf owls , jackrabbits and snakes.  But now, all that was left were plants.  How long had it been since he'd had fresh meat?  Months, now.  He couldn't live like this forever.  Could the desert be restored to its primer form?
Person vs. Self
Ella wasn't sure what she wanted her fate to be.  Choose the million dollars, and live an easy, laid-back lifestyle.  She could buy a mansion!  Or forget the treasure and try to find her great great great great Grandma, Hera.  Supposedly, a lion at a zoo had eaten her alive.  Most believed the story, but that just didn't seem very likely to Ella.  A part of her wanted to follow her sisters and brothers, but that meant choosing the million dollars, and Ella didn't think that she could travel often if she had such a large sum of money with her.  So she also felt a strong tug inside her, urging her to be different, and find Hera.  Which seemed a wiser choice?
Person vs. Person
My nemesis is Sarah Grounds.  Every day when I arrive at school, there's always something on my chair: Bubblegum, tacks, a Black Widow spider.  I can't keep track of how many times I have politely asked her to stop.  She's always disliked me from the first day I came to school.  The teacher announced, "This is Meggie Hughs.  She moved here from Whistler, Canada.  It's a very beautiful location.  There was a chorus of ooh's and aah's.  Then Sarah  said that if it was beautiful, how come an ugly person like me came from there.  She didn't even go to the principles.  Sarah's outrageous!  I'll never be able to forgive her!
