Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.-William Ellery Channing (1780 - 1842)

I agree because we grow and learn through our problems. We grow stronger so it will never happen again. An idea could be either through man vs. woman such as he got his heart broken and it made him stronger in love, to not fall in love so quickly like in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. Yes i have used this idea in the past with my memiors, because i've been through this many times. Even through excersising. It starts off hard but you keep growing stronger and can do more. The story i read is called " Being the Good Girl" written by Wen Hui Tan. Mom vs. Daughter is the conflict. It is the main idea in the story. If it wasn't there there would not be a story. " Mommy, can i please actually go to a dance this year? " is the opening line. " She gazes at me, her only daughter, the good girl, and smirks, again raising that incredulous curved eyebrow as if chortling, you're dreaming right? Maybe." is the ending line.
