I've heard of the basic narratives in writing, things like Man vs Man, Man vs Nature and so on. While reading this charming little review of Heinlein's 'Space Cadet' I came across a wonderfully different set of narrative suggestions:
Man vs Man: people working against each other
Man vs Plan: story where people are working against a scheme of some sort
Man vs Canal: a story where technology is used to overcome obstacles
Man vs Panama: which the author concedes is a very small segment of stories
I love it!
