What is the theme of legal alien

English
1 answer:
murzikaleks [220]1 year ago
5 0

A brief free verse poem titled "Legal Alien" discusses the identity of the Mexican American who is torn between two cultures and must contend with <em>hostility on both sides.</em>

<em />

A legal alien is a person who is a citizen of another nation but is allowed to reside in the US by the government. Being a token in the context of "Legal Alien" represents the <em>speaker being treated as an item and subsequently degraded by others. </em>In an English-speaking business, when they are employed as a sign of diversity without any genuine attempts to incorporate them as a whole person, they could feel like a token.

Pat Mora develops a nuanced characterization of the average legal immigrant using <em>metaphor, imagery, language, and antithesis. </em>22 lines of a single sentence make up the poetry.

Telling how travel in the 1800s is the same or different from travel today.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Hi luv! Traveling is different from what it was in the 1800s. Back then, we didn't have cars yet which would mean that people had to either A. Walk every where or B. Ride a horse/ horse and carriage. We now have cars which helps us travel from point a to point b in a shorter amount of time than what it would be back then. We also now have planes which can make us go from point a to point b in hours instead of having to travel months on boats. Have a nice day!

HELP FAST PLZ 20 POINTS AND BRAINLY
oksano4ka [1.4K]
1. D: the Bishop is kind and caring and even though ValJean is an ex-convict he is still treated like a human being by the Bishop. Calling him 'brother' further shows how he views all people as equals. 

2. D: you would expect ValJean to be grateful for the kindness the Bishop shows him and to accept the food and lodging without causing trouble. ValJean is a former criminal but the Bishop trusted him to not steal what he had. ValJean showed the opposite of these expectations by stealing from the Bishop. 

3. C: the Bishop welcomes ValJean into his home and treats him like a real human being. The irony is that as soon as someone treats him like a normal person ValJean starts "stuttering like a madman", acting the way everyone before had assumed he would be (crazy).
