A conflict is a struggle between two forces. In the book Gone there are several conflicts. One example is the Bullies vs. Townies because the bullies are picking on the townies. This is an example of character vs. society. This makes it an external conflict. I can predict that this conflict will be resolved when the bullies eat cookies and they become nicer. Another possible conflict is that all the women that vanished before, all came back as zombies and werewolves. This would make the book more interesting because they would have to fight them and try to survive.
