Read this excerpt from The Land, Part 2.Now, I don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing I did. Maybe I was feeling guilty that because I was my daddy's son, I could ride Ghost Wind. Maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear I said what I said. I no longer was afraid of Mitchell.

The narrator is thinking about his own guilt and trying to understand why he said what he did. That struggle is inside him, so it is character vs. self. Although Mitchell is mentioned, the excerpt focuses on the narrator’s inner feelings rather than a direct conflict with Mitchell.
