Conflicts - Internal and External

A conflict is an opposing force to the protagonist to go to it's "happy place". A conflict is classified into internal and external conflicts and a good story will consist of both kinds of conflicts. Internal conflicts are problem that's caused by the character's own state of mind, its feelings, emotions, or principle. An external conflict is cause d by factors around him, nature or interaction with other characters. John, the protagonists, faced many conflicts in the story, internal conflict being if he wants to travel to the East, being the Land of the Gods, which meant a possibilities of not being able to return but will be enslaved by the Gods. It's a difficult decision because if he returned, he will be a hero. The external conflicts came when he decided to take this journey, and he faced conflicts caused by nature, climate and wild animals. It is the internal and external conflicts that made this and so many other stories interesting because without the conflicts, stories will be like the Teletabies where they just say hi and hug each other.
