The complete question is:
I didn't know what to say. I had the same hot and cold feeling that I had when I first saw Grandpa in the street. The medicine bag was the dirty leather pouch I had found around his neck. "I could never wear such a thing," I almost said aloud. I thought of having my friends see it in gym class or at the swimming pool and could imagine the smart things they would say. But I just swallowed hard and took a step toward the bed. I knew I would have to take it.
What type of conflict do the details in this passage reveal?
Answer:
- Character Vs. Self
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the question, the kind of conflict displayed through the passage would be 'character vs. self' as it exhibits a disagreement between the character's own inner instincts and emotions. This is clearly reflected through the inner struggle that the character goes through as reflected by his self-doubts. The descriptions like 'I didn't know what to say...hot and cold feeling...swallowed hard' substantiate the claim that the character goes through a dilemma about his own opposing desires('thought of having friends...imagining smart things they would say').
