Read the passage from “initiation.”

the door behind her opened and a ray of light sliced across the soft gloom of the basement room.

"hey millicent, come on out now. this is it." there were some of the girls outside.

"i'm coming," she said, getting up and moving out of the soft darkness into the glare of light, thinking: this is it, all right. the worst part, the hardest part, the part of initiation that i figured out myself.

the passage provides evidence that millicent has just overcome what kind of conflict?

character vs. character

character vs. nature

character vs. self

character vs. society

cornelia

explanation:

we don't know all that much about cornelia aside from what granny tells us about her, along with what we can gather from her few lines of dialogue. it's hard to picture her, too, since we're not given any details about her mannerisms or what she looks like. she could be dressed like a circus clown, for all we know.

even though we wouldn't recognize cornelia if we ran into her on the street, we can't but feel a lot of sympathy for this character. first of all, she's super nice and granny pretty much treats her like dirt. she's constantly asking granny if she needs anything and granny usually responds by snapping at her. here's a typical exchange:

"i thought you might want something."

"i do. i want a lot of things. first off, go away and don't whisper." (14-15)
