During the climax, Savy and her friends must have a debate with the Aliens in order to convince them to leave Earth.

Conflict is a struggle between opposing forces. There can be multiple conflicts in a story. This is the case in Of Mice and Men.

According to Ann Charters in The Short Story and its Writer, "conflict is the opposition presented to the main Character of a narrative by another character, by events or situations, by fate, or by some aspect of the protagonist's own personality or nature.
