English

murzikaleks [220]1 year ago

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.
