HUU Class comment "Well, I have my moments of courage," I said as I gently wrapped a strand of her brown curlyhair around my finger."Sometimes," Hannah said kindly. There was, however, a hint of passive-aggressiveness. I knew what she was getting at My Frida nights were usually taken up by dinners at my grandmother's home. I had come out as bi to my parents a year ago, but I hadn't told my grandma yet. There didn't seem to be any point, since up until now I didn't have much of a love life. That is, until there was Hannah. I hadn't yet introduced her to my grandmother, nor had I planned on doing so anytime soon. Passive-aggressive: to express dislike about something without saying it directly Based on the above paragraph answer the following questions. Your answer should be in 2-4 complete sentences. What is the main conflict in the story so far? Do you think Yasi should tell her grandmother about her relationship?​

Answer 1

The main conflict is the choice of whether Yasi should come clean to her Grandma about her sexuality and Hannah or not.

Considering the sensitivity of the situation, it would seem like the thing to do is be secretive about it. But to be able to openly enjoy her life with Hannah, Yasi needs to at least keep her family informed about her situation. This will help keep her loved ones together, even if she doesn't tell it to everyone in the community or society. As long as her immediate family members know about it, that should be all that matters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The case of one's sexuality is a sensitive and even taboo subject in many parts of the modern world. Yasi's reluctance to come clean to her Grandmother about her bisexuality is one major conflict in the story so far. Even though she had told her parents about it, not everyone in her family knows it yet. And she wanted to keep it that way too, to save everyone the hurt and pain it might bring.

But at the same time, if she can tell her grandmother about it, then she can be assured that at least those important to her know about her life. She need not tell it everyone in the community or society, as long as her family knows the truth. She owes no one anything, nor does her happiness depend on their opinions. But at the same time, she should do the right thing by telling at least her family members.
