Let's look at each of the examples to identify the type of conflict:
'Peter Pan' - In this story, Peter and the Lost Boys are in conflict with Captain Hook and his pirates. This is an example of person vs person conflict, where the characters are pitted directly against each other in a struggle.
'Charlotte's Web' - Here, Wilbur the pig faces the threat of being slaughtered because society views him merely as a farm animal. This conflict is person vs society , where Wilbur's life is endangered due to societal norms and views regarding farm animals.
