Plot and the Plot Diagram
Plot is the series of events in a story that explain to the reader what is happening. One of the easiest ways to understand plot is to look at the mountain shaped plot diagram and think of story in terms of climbing a mountain.

Conflict
Every story has a conflict - a struggle between two opposing forces. The conflict may be between two people or it may be between a person and some other force, regardless, every story revolves around conflict and it's important for you to understand the various kinds of conflict.
-
Internal Conflict is a struggle that occurs within the main character. This struggle happens within the character's own mind.
-
External Conflict is a struggle that the main character has with another character, with society, or with a natural force.
