Would Amy Tan or her mother agree more with the feelings expressed in “Push”? Explain WHY by using text evidence from the story.

Conflicts can be divided into two categories: internal and external.

An internal conflict is a conflict a character has with his or her self. In this case, the young girl Jing-mei has internal conflicts because she fears she will never be special, and she worries about how her mother feels about her.

An external conflict is a conflict a character has with an outside force. The most common external conflict is character vs. character. Jing-mei’s main conflict is with her mother, who wants her to be some kind of child prodigy so she can brag about her to her friends. Other external conflicts in the story include character vs. society, as Jing-mei struggles to find her place in both the Chinese and American cultures. You could even argue that there is a character vs. technology conflict, because Jing-mei struggles to learn the piano.

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )
