I need a medical problem for my character?
Dehydration is something that would work. Or she hasn't eaten anything for a while and she passes out from hunger. Maybe it's just the chronic fatigue?
What is the main problem the main character faces in the story of the giver...?
First of all, you're robbing yourself by deciding not to read this really, really amazing book. Second, you obviously didn't even bother reading the first chapter if you don't even know the MC's first name. That's sad. You're parents are not doing a very good job if you need to come here to get an answer to so simple a book. Third, Jonas. His biggest problem is dealing with the layers upon layers of deceit, of government over control, and realizing that every adult in his entire life has been lying to him, right to his face. Another problem is figuring out how to save Gabe's life. Another problem is that he's learning so much, that he wants to experience it for himself, but his society forbids him to release his secrets.
What is the main problem or conflict the characters have to solve in Charlotte's Web?

You write a novel, do you find that your characters take over the story?
That's a delicate balance that has to be maintained, especially in specific types of stories. The characters ultimately have to drive the story and create that world, but they are also subjects within that world and thus subject to its whims. It's a snake-eating-its-own-tail issue (kind of circular logic, really) The world creates the characters, but the characters create the presentation of the world. So depending upon how you want your narration to function, the characters have to dominate- or you can go 3rd person omniscient and have the readers know significantly more than the characters themselves. 3rd, I find, is the best remedy for overbearing characters… but that also depends on how you- the author- want to present narration.
Can you give me an example of a story's main moral problem?
I think you are asking about the point where a decision is made by some character. That decision would have great and possible grave consequences to the character and the society in which they are placed.Moral problems may not always be deciding to do the wrong thing for the right reason. Sometime is it doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. The story itself will dictate to you what the true moral issue is.In Star Trek, I recall the moral problem about sheer numbers: “The good of the many outweighs the good of the few, or the one” and is countered with “Sometimes the good of the one outweighs the good of the many” (paraphrased) and then the justification is offered.The dilemma often does boil-down to how many are affected by a choice. A woman is the key to curing a Global plague and her life in in jeopardy. However, saving her means allowing 10,000 people to die - but saving her could potentially cure a Billion people. Now add one-to-one love to the scenario, and there is often little thought to deciding the salvation of a lover and damn the 10,000 but also get lauded as having saved the Billion People. Another conundrum is a future time traveler coming to kill your child because that child grows up to destroy 3/4’s of the planet. Would you allow your child to be killed to save the future? Your child may be a perfect kid, at this point. What to do?Whenever dealing with morality, in any story, the focus is in the consequences that may happen through some specific decision.
What is the main problem/ conflict of the story of beauty and the beast?
I'd say the main conflict is Belle vs. Gaston or Belle vs. the people in her town. Belle was always looking for adventure beyond that town and felt like they were holding her back, and of course she was always against Gaston and his proposals of marraige. There were times when the Beast held her hostage in the castle, of course, but that was just part of the plot and the character development for him. Eventually she sides with him and goes against her town and Gaston.
Does anne of green gables have a problem in the story?
Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling book by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. It was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, clipped from an American magazine and pasted on the wall above her writing desk, as the model for Anne Shirley, the book's main character. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_of_green_gables http://www.bookrags.com/Anne_of_Green_Gables http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/anneofgreengables/ http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTU0000085 http://inglesideimpressions.com/
How can a writer balance between strong characters, back stories and plot?
You don’t need to balance, you need to integrate.These elements support each other. You have to do it all at the same time.For example, you don’t need to use backstory to tell us about your protagonist. Show us who your hero is by making him/her solve a problem. The problem is your plot and how your character solves the problem tells us about who he/she is.Minimize backstory and exposition if you can. You can work it into dialogue, or pop a one-off sentence into an otherwise unremarkable paragraph to grab the reader’s interest. Avoid the information dump. Show us, don’t tell us about your characters and the world they live in. We want to see things happening. We want to be there, or else we want to overhear a snippet and move on.Everything should happen within the plot. No time outs for character development. No time outs for information dumps. We can learn about the characters and backstory while anxiously engaged in the plot, if you are structuring your scenes carefully.I hope this is helpful. I learned a lot about plotting from TV dramas like the Sopranos. They don’t waste a single second on anything unnecessary and most scenes are multitasking pretty heavily (plot, character, theme, setting, backstory, style, atmosphere, foreshadowing, repetition, allusion, etc.) This method of storytelling is difficult to master but very powerful.
