Bharati Mukherjee is an Indian woman who went to America during her school days and spent 2 years in Iowa. After that, she went back to Calcutta and married a man who was chosen for her. With her husband she moved to Canada where she found difficulties with society because of her cultural background.

After 14 years of living in Canada she decided to move to the United States and become an American citizen by her choice. She decided to do that because of the principles that were set in the Constitution’s Bill of Rights made her be more conscious about her human rights and the empowerment it gave to citizens. But now she considers the conversation of what it means to be American a big controversy.

Violence against immigrants is dividing the country between “us and them”. But Americans mostly forget that the US was built upon the many types of immigrants. They forget that American Culture has been affected by American Indians, African American, Latin American and, Asian American cultures.

Her overall purpose is to warn people and make them see that America is a mix of cultures. When she mentions <em>“We must be alert to the dangers of an “us” vs. “them” mentality”</em> and <em>“We must think of American culture and nationhood as a constantly re-forming, transmogrifying “we.””</em> she wants to let Americans and all cultures know that adding is gaining and that immigrants of all parts of the world will add to the culture more value and it will make it more diverse and inspiring.

What is the primary message of this poster?
olchik [2.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The primary message of this poster is that California has the most plentiful resources for people who want a healthy lifestyle. So the correct option is D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A poster’s job is to promote an idea, event, product or person. So here the poster of  California promotes itself as a place full of resources that offers people staying there a  healthy and peaceful lifestyle. It is a way of advertising and to spread the message. California  is generally a good place to stay in. It is the best place for immigrants who seek to find a  living for themselves. That’s what the poster would help to do, attract more immigrants to  the place.

Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.
Viktor [21]

The theme of this poem is this:

  • Remain humble no matter how experienced you think you are at something.
  • Imagery helps the reader to visualize everything that transpired in the pitch. For instance, in these lines, "Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;" and "He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate," the reader can better feel and sense the tension in the air as Casey arrived to play.

<h3>What is the theme of a poem?</h3>

When asked to find the theme of a poem, we are required to determine the main lesson that should be taken from the reading of the poem.

In the poem above, we can see how overconfidence contributed to the mighty fall of Casey. His arrogance made him ignore the rules of the game that aided his tumultuous defeat.

So, the life lesson that is derived from this is that we must never become proud no matter our level of achievement in life.
