what are two internal and two external conflicts that emerge in chapter five "almost a family" of farewell to manzanar using pages 31 to 36 (say what page your evidence is from)
In Chapter Five of "Farewell to Manzanar," titled "Almost a Family," two internal conflicts emerge:
1) Jeanne's internal conflict with her identity as a Japanese American:
- Evidence from page 32: "She made friends only with other Japanese, since none of the other American children would play with her."
- Evidence from page 33: "Then she looked into the mirror and realized that she obviously wasn't white."
2) Jeanne's internal conflict with her brother, Woody, and her desire to fit in:
- Evidence from page 36: "I realized my brother was crossing over, that he was leaping across some strange chasm, accepting something strange, perhaps terrible, in order to be himself. It made me feel lonely inside."
Additionally, two external conflicts can be observed in this chapter:
1) The conflict between Jeanne's father and the community in Manzanar:
- Evidence from page 31: "To men like Papa and the Isseis, as the first-generation Japanese immigrants were called, it was a terrible insult to be put in prison."
- Evidence from page 34: "Daddy was to become a leader in the camp, a resistor. That meant a camp within the camp for him and a rebellious attitude toward the authorities."
2) The conflict between Jeanne's family's expectations and the realities of life in the internment camp:
- Evidence from page 34: "Their expectations were high when they boarded the bus. But before they were able to adjust to the shock of seeing Manzanar for the first time, they were greeted by the reality of life in the internment camp."
- Evidence from page 36: "We had learned to be silent, to avoid trouble, to do what we were told. It didn't make t any sense."
