At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard
a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. Which best explains how Nye’s text structure helps establish her voice in the excerpt?
The trees back her view that the concept of American
Heritage is to live among different cultures.
America is a melting pot were people of different races come together
and each brings part of their culture with them and they share it with others.
