1. Conflicts2. Characterization 3. Themes 4. Setting 5. Scene You can clearly see the conflicts in the first third of the book. There are many external conflicts in the book, as well as some internal conflicts. External conflicts include human-to-human conflict, human-to-nature/environment conflict, and human-to-society conflict. The man-on-man conflict is between Ralph and Jack. From the beginning, you can distinctly see their struggle... in the middle of the paper... which was completely alone. For a moment his movements were almost furtive. Then he bent down and made his way to the center of the carpet. The vines and bushes were so close that he left sweat on them and they joined together behind him. … He crouched down, pushed aside the leaves and looked into the clearing. Nothing moved except a couple of bright butterflies dancing around each other in the warm air.” (at the end of chapter 3) This quote shows that he is not afraid of the island, rather he is quite impressed and consumed by its beauty. I like that he takes time alone to be with nature and that's what I do sometimes. I turn everything off and look at the sky and think about how beautiful it is. Now, this is innocence and clarity. I am happy that even in all the problems of the book there is a vein of hope for happiness and tranquility.
