Someone who is from the West and whose parents are from the West.
Explanation:
In Gary Sato's <em>Like Mexicans</em>, he tells the story of how his parents and family want him to marry a girl from his own race and ethnicity. They seemed to emphasize the importance of marrying within the same 'race', which he also tries hard to obey as far as he can.
In the given passage, Gary mentioned his best friend Scott as <em>"a second-generation okie"</em>. And like he mentioned in the beginning of the story, and according to his grandmother, <em>"everyone who wasn't Mexican, black or Asian were Okies"</em>. So, though Okie is a term generally used to refer to a resident of Oklahoma or a native of that place, Sato used this term as a generalized term for anyone from the West and whose parents are from the West.
In the excerpt from Ozymandias by Percy Shelley, the below lines show that art alone can last forever.
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command.
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things"
The above line is the one that makes us understand that art can last alone forever. Percy Shelley talks about the sculpture's face that lies shattered.
Still, it cannot be forgotten to mention that, the frown, the wrinkled lip and the sneer of the command the face has cannot be missed to be appreciated.
Having understood these passions well, the poet says that the sculptor's accurate and artistic depictions still lives.
