Which event is an example of external conflict in American born Chinese
zepelin [54]

D- wei chen punches jun wang for kissing suzy nakamura

A conflict is a problem between two opposing forces. External conflicts are when a character has a conflict with someone or something outside of him/herself. They can be conflicts between the character and another character, the character and nature, or the character and society. In option D, Wei Chen has a conflict with another character, Jun Wang, because Jun Wang kissed Suzy. Wei Chen punches him. All of the other options are internal conflicts. An internal conflict is when the character has a problem within him/herself. Option A is internal because Jin Wang has to deal with the fact that he doesn't like Wei Chen at first. Option B is internal because feelings of jealousy are self-forming. Option C is also internal because understanding cultural identity happens within, not from outside sources.
