Internal and External Conflicts

Internal Conflict- Professor James Priss is very intelligent but very slow at processing things and ideas. At times this makes him frustrated and could cause him to lash out.

External Conflict-Professor Priss and Edward Bloom are constantly arguing and fighting, are they truly friends?

"He had grown angry at once, of course, when even be asked to participate in the demonstrations....It was all said very politely, but you could hear the snarl under the rapid flow of words"(331).
