Question

if i write a story about experiencing a plane crash, what would the conflict be?

Answer 1

If you're in the plane you probably are scared that you'll die.

You also might try to keep a small child safe.

Answer 2

yeah so what can the conflict be?
person vs. what?

Answer 3

Maybe you saw the plane crash and went over to help and you find two people alive but are both bleeding badly and will die in minutes. Who do you help? Why not the other person?

or

Maybe you were on a plane and there were hijackers and you were making a choice. You want to intervene but you're afraid.

I hope that's the kind of thing you mean.

Answer 4

sort of but i'm actually writing in first person so point A would be me in the plane experiencing these weird thoughts of the plane crashing and point B is pretty the plane crashing i guess.

i just don't know what kind of conflict this would be : person vs. person, self, society, nature, supernatural...


i find this topic really hard, is there any other short story ideas that you would suggest ?

Answer 5

Person v nature comes closest. I assume that the plane crash is accidental, therefore being an act of nature.
