In the book The List, the author uses both internal and external conflict. I think there's more internal conflict throughout the book only because each chapter talks about one of the eight girls' lives. The external conflict is the list itself. The list ruins some people's lives and just flat out complicates others.
For example, in the pages a just read, the ugliest sophmore, Candace, isn't actual ugly. She's actually really beautiful but has an ugly personality. The list makes people, aka her friends, realize the kind of person she actually is. Candace is having trouble accepting the fact that she was named the ugliest sophmore. The only thing that matters to her is being pretty. The book said, "List or no list, Candace Kincaid is pretty. She knows it. Everyone knows it. And that's all that matters."
This seems intresting! How do the girls react to list? Who writes this list?
ReplyDeleteI think that your analysis of the story was pretty accurate. I like how you compared the external to the internal conflict.
