In A Wrinkle in Time, what are the external and internal conflicts?

An
internal conflict that readers should recognize early on is Meg's self-confidence struggles. She
is exceptionally bright; however, she doesn't fit in. She is an outcast and doesn't fit in with

conflicts eventually boil over and become external conflicts. Meg fights with others and
challenges authority. Another conflict for Meg is her struggle with whether or not to trust
