Question

Every disaster made my doubts stronger. But Rosetta just pulled herself up straight, set her shoulders, and said, “Well, I guess there’s nothing for it but to keep going. Let’s see what’s over the horizon, because it’ll be better than what’s here.” Today, our milk cow fell in a gully. My doubts finally won out, and I didn’t think we would ever be able to build a good life in this barren, harsh, unforgiving land. “It’s all my fault, Rosie,” I said sadly. “If I hadn’t dreamed those silly dreams, we never would have come to this terrible place.” Which type of conflict is shown in the excerpt? an internal conflict; Nate is regretting his decision to move west an internal conflict; Nate is confused by Rosetta’s words an external conflict; Rosetta believes Nate’s dreams to be silly an external conflict; Rosetta now believes they should turn back

Answer 1

an internal conflict; Nate is regretting his decision to move west

Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt, we can see that while Rosetta has a positive outlook to life, even if many bad things have happened, Nate has the opposite outlook: a very bleak opinion about what is happening, and about what will happen in the future.

Nate believes that all the hardships he and Rosetta are going through would not have come had not he decided to move west. In other words, he is blaming himself and his decision to move west to pursue a dream, for all the punishing experiences that he is going through.
