Explanation:

Alice Walker's "Everyday Use" revolves around the story of three black women and their different takes on their heritage and identity. While the mother tries hard to 'reconcile' with her elder daughter, the younger one stays close to her mother and also seems to follow the same 'ideology'.

An internal conflict is when a character feels a dilemma within himself/ herself. This contrasting belief, desire within the character, the emotional or internal struggle constitutes an internal conflict. In the given passage from the start of the story, the speaker/ narrator reveals how her younger daughter Maggie will be standing in a corner of the house, "eyeing her sister with a mixture of envy and awe". This feeling of envy is a form of internal conflict, wanting to be like her.
