The excerpts from "Two Kinds" which are examples of internal conflict are:
"before going to bed that night, i looked in the mirror above the bathroom sink and when i saw only my face staring back—and that it would always be this ordinary face—i began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl! I made high-pitched noises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror."
"so maybe i never really gave myself a fair chance. I did pick up the basics pretty quickly, and i might have become a good pianist at that young age. But i was so determined not to try, not to be anybody different that i learned to play”
