Read the excerpt from The Namesake.
“That you want us to call him Nikhil.”
“That is correct.”
Mrs. Lapidus nods. “The reason being?”
“That is our wish.”
“I’m not sure I follow you, Mr. Ganguli. Do you mean that Nikhil is a middle name? Or a nickname? Many of the children go by nicknames here. On this form there is a space—”
“No, no, it’s not a middle name,” Ashoke says. He is beginning to lose patience. “He has no middle name. No nickname. The boy’s good name, his school name, is Nikhil.”
Mrs. Lapidus presses her lips together and smiles. “But clearly he doesn’t respond.”
“Please, Mrs. Lapidus,” Ashoke says. “It is very common for a child to be confused at first. Please give it some time. I assure you he will grow accustomed.”
Which best states the conflict revealed by this conversation?
an internal emotional conflict between Ashoke’s cultural values related to education and the needs of his child
an external conflict between Mrs. Lapidus and Gogol over his wish to be called by a traditional Indian name
an external cultural conflict between the traditional schooling expectations of Mrs. Lapidus and Ashoke
an internal conflict between Mrs. Lapidus’s expertise as an educator and her wish to respect Ashoke’s cultural traditions

Chapter 11 discusses the...saga, which brings with it many opportunities to find examples in the text for imagery, metaphors, and dialect because it is full of verbal and physical drama.
