Short answer: Yes. Ghost (Castle “Ghost” Cranshaw) faces both internal and external conflicts in Jason Reynolds’s Ghost.
Brief explanation of the main conflicts
- Internal conflict (man vs. self): Ghost struggles with anger, fear, and guilt over a traumatic event involving his father. That trauma drives his impulsive behavior and makes it hard for him to trust adults and control his temper.
- External conflict (man vs. man / society): He gets into fights and has trouble at school with other kids (bullying and taunting), and he struggles to stay out of trouble in his neighborhood.
- External conflict (man vs. group/coach): Joining the track team leads to clashes as he has to learn discipline, trust Coach and teammates, and prove himself.
About page numbers
Page numbers vary by edition (hardcover, paperback, library/teacher editions, e-book). If you tell me which edition or give the publisher/year or upload a photo of the page header, I’ll cite exact page numbers for the passages that show each conflict. If you don’t know the edition, I can instead point to the chapters/scenes where these conflicts appear (for example: the opening scenes that establish his anger/trauma, the schoolyard fights, and the early track-practice scenes). Which would you prefer?
