One of the main internal conflicts is the fact that they are trying to be rescued.
Each person individually is worried about how they might be rescued and what
they can do in order to be rescued faster. They all are trying to contribute to
help them get off of the island. This is an internal conflict because they are all
trying to individually get off the island.
An external conflict that occurs in the story is the fighting between characters.
This mainly occurs between Ralph and Jack. They fight non stop about who is
the leader and who is in control. This affects all of the boys because if they don't
know who the leader is and they are always fighting then
nothing ever gets
resolved and they have no one to look to for guidance. Their constant arguing
causes everyone on the island to be unsure of who to trust as their leader.
