rents tell him that they each have two names, too, as do all their Bengali friends in America, and all their relatives in Calcutta. It’s a part of growing up, they tell him, part of being a Bengali. Excerpt 2: It is nothing like the schooling Gogol’s parents have known, fountain pens and polished black shoes and notebooks and good names and sir or madam at a tender age. Here the only official ritual is pledging allegiance first thing in the morning to the American flag.

The statement that best tells how the main conflict in the first excerpt is different from the main conflict is "The first shows an internal conflict related to emotion, while the second shows an external conflict related to cultural differences".

<em>The Namesake</em> is a novel written by Jhumpa Lahiri. It tells the story of a Bengali couple who moves to the United States and the way in which they deal with the social and religious differences between the two cultures. <u>The first excerpt presents an internal conflict related to an emotion because the character is struggling against his own thoughts and mainly against his fear of being Nikhil</u>. On the other hand<u>, the second excerpt</u> shows an external conflict related to cultural differences because <u>the narrator is referring to the dissimilarities between the American and the Bengali culture in terms of education</u>. In other words, in contrast to the first excerpt, the second excerpt  is making reference to an outside force.

In at least one hundred words, discuss why King George III is portrayed as "an old island queen" in the song "Revolutionary Tea.
sladkih [1.3K]
The song "revolutionary tea", portrays the frustration of colonists at the tax on tea from Great Britain to the American colonies to pay for the protection and governance of the US. The idea of an "old island queen" makes the point that England is wealthy and petty for asking for money from the colony. This leads to the establishment of the Boston Tea Party and paves the way for the Independence of the United States.

zzz [600]

Answer:

Sample Response:

Explanation:

The description helps readers understand how Alfonso's concern about his appearance is affecting him. The description of his thumbs after pushing on his teeth as "tired and wrinkled and pink" shows how far Alfonso will go to improve his image. The comparison of his bike to "a handful of dimes" shows how careful he is. These descriptions contribute to the theme that the way you look does not always reflect who you want to be.
