Activity
In this activity, you’ll identify and analyze examples of internal conflict in Robert Cormier’s short story “The Moustache.”

Part A

In “The Moustache,” the character Mike deals with internal conflict throughout the story. Describe some examples of Mike’s internal conflicts by completing the following sentence in at least two ways:
Mike expected, but; so _.

Here’s an example:

Mike expected to be treated like a grown up, but he didn’t like paying full price at the movies; so he thought about shaving off his moustache.

Answer:

Part B
Another example of internal conflict occurs when Mike returns from the nursing home: he must decide whether to tell his mother the truth about his grandmother’s state of mind or say that his grandmother is fine. How does Mike resolve this internal conflict? Why do you think he makes this choice?

Answer:

Part C
The author, Robert Cormier, reveals a great deal about Mike in this story, but he doesn’t tell us why Mike shaves off his moustache. Based on events in the story, why do you think he shaved? Provide evidence from the text to support your response?

Answer:

Part D
The main conflict in the story occurs at the end of his visit with his grandmother. Does Mike do the right thing by saying “I forgive you, Meg” to his grandmother? What would you do if you were Mike? Why? Make sure to explain your answer.

Answer:

Thank you sm and have a great day! :)

Mike would rather be with his girl, Cindy, but he feels guilty about ignoring his grandmother; so he forces himself to enter the nursing home where his grandmother lives.

Example 2:

Mike wants to have a quick visit with his grandmother, but he’s worried about how confused and upset she seems; so he stays and comforts her.

B. Mike chooses not to tell his mother the truth about his grandmother. He also decides not to ask his mother about her problems with his father, even though he wants to. He probably chooses to say nothing because he doesn’t want his mother to worry even more than she already does.

C. I think Mike shaved off his moustache because he realized it wasn’t that great being treated like an adult. Mike’s visit to his grandmother is the point at which he understands for the first time what it means to be an adult. It’s also the moment when he himself becomes more of an adult.

He comes to see his grandmother as a human being. He realizes that she has feelings and regrets, just like anyone else. And, like anyone else, she is flawed and makes mistakes:

You drive out in your father’s Le Mans doing seventy-five on the pike and all you’re doing is visiting an old lady in a nursing home. A duty call. And then you find out that she’s a person. She’s somebody. She’s my grandmother, all right, but she’s also herself. Like my own mother and father. They exist outside of their relationship to me. I was scared again. I wanted to get out of there.

Mike also realizes that his parents are not perfect or invincible. He wants to keep this childish sense of security he once had. I think this feeling is reflected in the questions he wants to ask his mom and dad:

I wanted to ask her—hey, Mom, you and Dad really love each other, don’t you? I mean—there’s nothing to forgive between you, is there? But I didn’t.

D. I think Mike did the right thing because he loves his grandmother and wanted to give her peace. I would have done the same thing as Mike, even though it would have been heartbreaking. It would be painful to lie to a loved one, but it would be even more painful to let my grandmother suffer from guilt and regret. By lying to her, I would at least be able to make her last days more peaceful.
