Ernesto Hart · Answer 1

The correct answer is B. When Danny appears for the first time in the story is a blond and white teenager who attends the same high school as Jin, it is not yet known that he is really Jin. Danny has a cousin named Chin-Kee that ruins his life. In the end the monkey king is revealed to Danny and asks him to return to his true form, Jin.

Eden Hammond · Answer 2

The correct answer is "B: Danny".

"American Born Chinese" is divided into 3 tales.

The third tale narrates the story of Danny. An American white boy who is visited every year by his Chinese cousin Chin-Kee. Due to Chin-Kee's use of numerous stereotypes regarding American culture, he is often bothered by his visits.

It is later revealed that Danny is actually a character in the second tale named Jin Wang. Jin Wang decided to "transform" into Danny because he considered that being Jin Wang would prevent him from pursuing a girl he liked.

In the end, Chin-Kee reveals himself as "The Monkey King" from the first tale. Chin-Kee presents himself to Danny in order to remind him of his origins and accept himself as it is.
