Examples of internal conflict would be Jack wanting to be leader whilst having to settle to play the role of chief hunter in the tribe. This caused Jack some amount of internal conflict because Jack was accustomed to being a leader. He was head chorister and in his mind was more talented than the other boys - he could sing C- sharp. This internal conflict eventually broiled over into external conflict and on two occasions he challenges Ralph to leadership of the clan of boys. On his first attempt he is embarrassed but on his second attempt he is successful.
The main external conflict is between Jack and Ralph - the latter being the protagonist of the novel. It simmers to a head in chapter 12 when Jack and the band of boys go hunting to find Ralph and kill him.
