Internal and external conflict the story of keesh by jack london

Internal conflict occurs when Keesh stormed out of the council and decided to prove his claim for everyone to see.

External conflict is when he battles the wind, the snow, the bears and also when he was complaining to the council about their poor state of living and the meat they were assigned.

Explanation:

In "The Story of Keesh" by Jack London, the protagonist of the story Keesh was just a young orphaned boy who lived with her mother. They resided in the meanest igloo and got the worse share of the meat in the community. But through it all, he rose from it and became the most respected and headman of his village.

The internal conflict is when a character have some dilemma within himself. In this story, the internal conflict happens when Keesh had complained to the council about the meat he got. Seething with anger, he knows what to say and knew he deserved to be treated better, for his father had been a great hunter, providing meat fairly for everyone. But when the other men refused to listen and take his claims seriously, he went out of the council, "Keesh's eyes began to flash, and the blood to pound darkly under his skin".

External conflict can be between man and another man or nature or anyone else. There are lots of instances where there is an external conflict in the story. Keesh against the councilmen, or Keesh against the bears he hunted, or Keesh struggling against the cold and wintery, snowy climate to hunt etc.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
