The book I am reading is Breaking Back by James Blake. I am on page 31. My book so far is an internal conflict. James Blake just got told that his dad will be dying in two years because he has stomach cancer. He doesn't really show his emotion. Although you know in side he is really hurting. Also since he got told his father is dying, his tennis career has been dropping. He has been losing to people he can normally beat.To me this book is an internal conflict.

I am reading Closed for the Season by Mary Downing Hahn. The conflict in my book is external; between a new kid Logan Forbes, and the murder house that his family just moved into. He has to find the stolen money and solve the murder before the over runed Magic Forest theme park is developed into a shopping mall and new homes. Magic Forest has been closed for years and secrets have been hidden inside, kudzu has grown over the whole property and nothing is safe to even walk on. For Logan to solve the mystery of the murder that took place in his house and recover stolen money, he will risk his life. I am currently on page 46.

I just finished my book and its called Searching for Davids Heart. Its by Cherir Bennett. This book was internal conflict because Darcy's brother David died and she wants to fin out who has his heart. She doesnt have to look for him heart but sh wants too. Also, Darcy thinks her dad and mom dont like her anymore because David died. Near the begining of the book David liked a girl named Jayne (Darcy called her the J-word) but Darcy didnt like her.

The book i am reading is City of Strangers by Ian Mackenzie. I am on page 22. One conflict external in my book is when the main character Paul goes to his ex-wifes house to tell her that his father is very sick and dying. He goes to ask her to accompany him to his fathers funeral when that happens. They go to a diner and both get coffee's and a bowl of fruit. They start talking about Paul's father but then the conversation almost becomes an arguement. The author writes that that is why their relationship didn't work and that they usually make up. They do make up and he goes home to her apartment where they talk more. He leaves her house around 11 never asking her to come to his fathers funeral.

The book I am reading is Anne Frank: The diary of a young girl by Anne Frank. I am currently on page 127. The conflict in my book is external between the Nazis and the Jewish people living in Europe. Anne has to go into hiding with her family to avoid getting captured by the Nazis. Getting captured would mean getting sent to a concentration camp and most likely getting killed. War has spread in Germany and my book is happening during World War II. So far Anne and her family are hiding in an old office building which they named the "Secret Annexe". They have been hiding for a year now.

mbooth3 said...

gcosta3,
So the main character is able to see ghosts but everybody thinks she is crazy so she is sent to a mental institute?

The book that I am reading is called "I so don't do Mysteries by Barrie Summy. I am currently on page 100. The conflict of this story is Sherry's mom is dead and her spirit has come back to solve a rhino mystery at the zoo and she needs Sherrys help. Sherry is not aloud to tell anybody or else the mom can get in a lot of trouble and not be able to watch after her daughter. So Sherry gets on a plane and goes on this huge adventure with her dead mom and grandpa to find the rhino killer. For this conflict would be internal because she must keep it a secret.

The book I'm reading is "Cheater, Cheater,"By Elizabeth Levy. Im Currently on page 5. The conflict so far is that a girl named Lucy was invited to her friends' birthday party, her bowling party. Lucy doesn't like bowling or knows how to. Also the invition says "Couples Only," but Lucy doesn't anyone to go with. I say this is an external conflict because it's not a problem just between Lucy and herself.

The book I am reading is called Leaving Paradise. The author is Simone Elkeles and I'm on page 101. The conflict in my book is external because a high schooler named Caleb Becker hits his next door neighbor, Maggie, while driving drunk. He went to jail for a year but now he's back and everyone is in shock. Caleb and Maggie ran into each other at the park, but Maggie ran away from him because she didn't want to talk to him or even look at him.

Kfundenburg4 said...

The book I am currently reading is called Up Close Rock Legend: Elvis Presley. I am on page 56. The author is Wilborn Hampton. In my book there is not really a "conflict" because it is a bunch of random facts about Elvis Presley, so I believe it is an Internal Conflict, but I'm not sure because it tells all about Elvis' life and details like Memphis was his dream getaway and their apartment had bad plumbing issues. This book is difficult to determine if it's an internal or external conflict mostly because the whole thing is about specific things that occur in his life and the fact that it is not written by Elvis himself.

I am reading the fourth book in the Harry Potter series, which is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I started reading it over the holidays so I am on page 289. The book is written by J.K. Rowling. In chapter 13 an external conflict arises. Draco Malfoy, Harry's bully, starts insulting Harry and, Harry's best friend, Ron tries to defend Harry. Then, Draco insults Ron and a sort-of fight begins. A teacher, Mad-Eye Moody, sees this fight beginning and, in favor of Harry, he uses magic to turn Draco into a ferret. Mad- Eye bounces the ferret high into the air and slams it back to the ground repeatly. Harry and Ron, of course, are thrilled to finally get pay back on Draco.

The book i am reading is "Don't judge a girl by her cover" by Ally Carter and i am currently on page 40. The main conflict in my story is that the main character is tagged along with her friend that she had visited in Boston being "kidnapped". They have to find a way to get around the kidnappers head to escape. This shows it is external because it is dealing with both of the friends and its something they have to solve together and not alone.

In my book "The Time Machine." by H.G. Wells the conflict is that nobody believs the main known as the "Time Traverler." This what I think as both an external conflict and an internal one as well. This came to my mind becuase out side he's trying to prove to every one that he can travle thourgh time, and internal becuase he is trying to think of ways to prove to his freinds he traveld thourgh time. I'm on page 144/238.

I think that the conflict is external conflict, I know this because all the boys in the book are trying to save their friend Pipkin from, well whatever is trying to prevent them from their goal. To me I think its something magical, but Im not too sure. There was a part where the boys found Pipkin but when they got to him he disapeared from right in front of them. That hapened everywhere from Egypt to Mexico.

The book I'm reading is called Al Capone shines my shoes. I am on page 23. The author is Gennifer Choldenko. One internal conflict is Moose's sister is going to a school where she had to move away. He is sad and he never wants to talk about his sister. His friend Annie though wants to know about the note that Moose sent Al Capone. Moose really does not want to talk about it because he is upset that his sister is gone. In the book you can tell how he is trying to avoid that conflict with Annie.

The book i am reading is "Hunting for hidden gold" by Franklin Dixon and i am on page 33. one of the conflict in the story is a group of men back in the day found buried treasure. as the men decided to meet up later to split it four ways the person with the gold did not show up. after many years of searching for him nothing showed up. --25 years later-- the hardy boy hear about the story and are very FOND of the case. i believe this is an external conflict because the conflict is between the hardy boys and one of them members from the group.

The book i am reading is The seven spiritual laws of success by Deepak Chopra. I am on page 40. I think my book doesn't have conflict because basically my book explains how to success. Currently i am reading about the law of giving. This book is interesting.

The book I am reading All the lovely bad ones by Mary Downing Hahn. I am on page 48. My book are both conflicts. This is because the two children Corey and Travis are spenidng their summer with their grandmother, who happens to own a "haunted" Inn according to a book titled "Haunted Inns of Vermont". The conflict is that they believe in ghost,b ut their Grandmother has denied the Inn of being haunted causing Corey and Travis to begin an investigation of their own to find out the truth. This is the external conflict. The internal conflict is that the Grandmother is losing a lot of business due to the Inn not being actually haunted.

I am reading Turnabout by Margret Peterson Haddix. I am on page 111. It would be an external conflict because she took part in an experiment and now she's getting younger. At first she was 88, then she began re-aging ever since. It was nice at first then she thought. " What will I do when I'm to young to drive, or I'm a baby and can't feed myself."

I am reading the book The Cover Up, and i am almost done with it. The main conflict of the story is that the whole offensive line for one of the Super Bowl teams has tested positive for HGH and the team is covering it up. Meanwhile Stevie and Susan Carol try to uncover the whole story. Stevie is the main character and he has an external conflict. He has to find out if the story is actually true or not and thats why its an external conflict.

@llindsey
Your book asounds so cool. I have always had an interest in law.

twilliams03 said...

The conflict that is going on in my book is a internal conflict because every chracter in my book wants to know who their parents are and they belive that because of who they are or what they are their parents gave them up. Because they feel this way about their parents that does not mean they dont want to know who their parents were so they began searching for the people they want to call mommy and daddy. Everyday they wake up with a dream they had last night running through their heads making them go insane they get to the point to where sometimes they have to cry themselves to sleep becasue they do not have a mother or father figure in the hopusehold. Yet they used to that is why its hurts so much worse because they were given a chance at atleast having a father figure in the house but then they lost that to. That is why i concider this an internal conflict because they battle with emotions about not having parents.

I am reading The Hunt for the Seventh by Christine Morton-Shaw. I am on page 111. The conflict in my story is that Jim and his sister are trying to find out what happened to the 7 missing children of Minerva Hall. This conflict is an External Conflict because forces of the outside world are acting on Jim and his sister to cause them harm along the way of finding all the missing children. An example of one of the outside forces is the ghost's of the seven children. Another example is Einstein, a very smart ghost that could be tricking Jim to keep him away from the truth.

My book is called Lock and Key. The author is Sarah Dessen and I'm on page 15. This book is an external conflict so far because the main character Ruby has no real family. Her mom just left her all alone in an apartment house for like 3 weeks. When the apartment owners come to check up on them they see that Ruby's mom is gone. Ruby now has to live with her sister and her boyfriend. Ruby now has a totally new life. She has to go to school and live a rich life. Her sister has a really big house with a lot of land. Ruby has her own room and bathroom now. To me this book is an external conflict.

The book I am reading is Becuase Of Winn-Dixie. I am on page 32. The author is Kate DiCamillo. The conflict in the story is an internal conflict. Between India Opal and her self. The conflict is she misses her mom and she feels alone. No one can see how sad she is. Therefore, it is an internal conflict.
