The main conflict in this story, in my opinion, is that the child and grandmother did not understand the same language. It was an internal conflict because it was a language issue. The child was not willing to learn her grandmother's language in school and never overcame the language barrier between the generations.
I think the conflict in this story was that the chinese-american boy did not know alot about his heritige.He did not do very good in his chinese class and did not speak any chinese.
I think it was an external confilict because he grew up in america and he was not born in china so he did not know much about his heritige.
It effected him because he could not speak to his grandma because she did not know any english.
I think a main conflict in this story is that the kid gets put in a class with a really mean teacher that beats kids.
I think this is external because the teacher is beating kids.
This conflict has a effect on the main character because she is mean and yells at kids and could make him scared.
I think the internal reason is that the grandmother speeks another launge. The grandson can't speek chiense. The external reason is the boy likes mashg potates.
I think the internal reason about how the grandson is trying to speak chinese.And it is hard for him when there is a bunch of chinese around.
I think the conflict is when the grandmother and grandson have a tuff time.when they meet there saying a different languge. So that means there is somthing different about both of them.
I think the major conflict in this story is that the kid's Grandma speaks Chinese and the kid doesn't. He wants to learn Chinese so he can communicate with his Grandma better but he doesn't want to.
This is internal conflict because he was having like an arguement in his head with himself.
This conflict had an effect on the main character because he couldn't decide if he wanted to do the work to learn Chinese or just blow it off and not be able to understand his Grandma fully.
I think the conflict is two different languages in one family. Internal conflict is that the child does not want to learn the language at school in the dummy class. He struggles to talk to his grandmother and never gets to know her.
I think a main conflict in this story is that the boy can't communicate with his grandmother because they speak different languages.
I think this is internal conflict because not being able to communicate with someone is more in the head than it is physical.
The effect is that the boy and grandmother can't talk about things like the grandmother's life and when she was a kid.
The boy did not knew a-lot about where his annsisters came from.
External because he really did not knew a whole lot about his faimlys past.
he did not know chinnies and she did not knew about english.
The internal conflict is that he wants to learn Chinese but does not want to be your average Chinesian. This is internal because it is not like he is fighting "the war on how to learn Chinese". It all takes place in his head. This had him spend a lot more time on projects.

This was a internal conflict the boy had.
This conflict had a effect on the boy because, he wanted to learn spanish so he could talk with his grandma but he wasn't good at it at all.
I think the main conflict is internal, because the boy is in a conflict of trying to pass the course but while doing that, not learning Chinese, this would be hard to do because if you would get a random question concerning Chinese in her class, which could easily happen, she'd need to be prepared or the teacher may get suspicious...
I think the main conflict is the kid and the teacher because the teacher beats the kids.
i think it is external because the teacher beats kids.
it had effect on him by the teacher making him scared.
I think the main conflit was that the boys Grandma speaks chinese and he didnt know how to speak chinese or learned chinese.
This is internal conflit because it is a issue for him to learn chinese or not.
The effect is that if the boy didnt learn how to speak chinese he wouldnt understand his Grandma.
I think that the conflict is an internal one because the boy has a problem with tring to pass the course and while he was doing that he was not exactly learning chinese. You should prolly be prepared.
I think the confilct is internal becasue the boy speaks english and his grandmother speaks chinese and it was hard for him to learn chinese.

internal.
the effect was that the guy had to learn chinese so they could understand each other.
i think the main conflict is external because,everything around the boy is chinese.He is american-chinese and he dosnt care to learn chinese.It is very hard for him to communicate with his grandmother because he only understands a little chinese,and his grandmother can only speak a little english.
I think the main conflict of the story internal, because the kid is trying to learn chinese so he and his grandma can talk to each other. Because of this the boy and his grandma can't talk about what they've done during the day. He tried going to a american-chinese school, he didn't end up learning anything.
In my opionion, the main conflict was having 2 cultures in one family, chinese and american. I think this conflict was an internal confict. The effect that the conflict had on the main character, was that he only wanted to be american, and I think he felt bad about it later, because his grandmother was chinese, and I think he realized he was growing away from her.
