Question

In American Born Chinese, which event is an example of an internal conflict?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Jin Wang struggles to accept his cultural identity.

Explanation:

An internal conflict is when a character is struggling with himself and his own personal feelings or emotions. Conflicts provide contrast or contradictory interest, causing a difference in the character's own personal life and his emotions.

In the book American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, Jin Wang is the character from the second tale. He is a first-generation child of Chinese emigrants in America. And the internal conflict is when he struggles to accept his Chinese cultural identity while living in the American culture. This is a struggle only he suffers from, posing a conflict against his own Chinese background against the American culture that he was born and brought up into.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
