which part of this excerpt from robert cormiers \the moustache\ shows internal conflict?
frankly, i wasnt too crazy about visiting a nursing home. they reminded me of hospitals, and hospitals turn me off. i mean, the smell of either makes me nauseous, and i feel faint at the sight of blood. and as i approached lawnrest—which is a terrible, cemetery kind of name, to begin with—i was sorry i hadnt avoided the trip. then i felt guilty about it. im loaded with guilt complexes. like driving like a madman after promising my father to be careful. like sitting in the parking lot, looking at the nursing home with dread and thinking how id rather be with cindy. then i thought of all the christmas and birthday gifts my grandmother had given me and i got out of the car, guilty as usual.
Internal conflict is a character's struggle within themselves (emotions, thoughts, guilt, etc.). The phrase "Then I felt guilty about it" shows the narrator's internal struggle—feeling regret and guilt about not avoiding the trip, which is an internal emotional conflict. Other parts describe external dislikes (nursing home, hospitals) or actions, but this part focuses on internal guilt.
