Answer:
The Puerto Rican sisters in "I Want to Be Miss America" <u>try to adopt the "American look."</u>
Explanation:
In the short story <em>I Want to Be Miss America</em>, Ju lia Alvarez wrote about how four sisters from the Dominican Republic tried to adapt to their new life in New York, despite being "<em>Hispanics</em>". Their physical appearance, their features all defy their own need to "<em>look</em>" American.
While watching their annual Miss America pageant, the narrator recounts how she and her three sisters would try to look like those in the pageant. They even bought <em>"a big tube of Nair" </em>and shaved their legs despite their mother's warnings. She also mentioned,<em> "We would have to translate our looks into English, iron and tweeze them out, straighten them and mold them into Made-in-the-USA beauty"</em>. These show that<u> the sisters tried hard to adopt the </u><u><em>"American look"</em></u><u>.

1. Both answers could have some legitimacy, as the evidence is not 100% clear. It is more likely, however, that the sleep was a reward. Rip's long sleep means that he has missed the war, with all the suffering, trauma, death and hardship that a war brings. Moreover, despite not having to contribute to the war effort, Rip enjoys all its benefits when he wakes up. His long sleep also means that he is free from his wife. Finally, it seems like Rip's life does not change much when he wakes up. He is accepted by his family and is able to settle into his regular routine easily.
2. The setting of the story is important because of the element of independence. Rip has been awarded by being transported to a moment in his life when he has more independence. He does not have to take care of his children anymore, and he has been liberated from his wife. The theme of independence within his family life is mirrored by the theme of independence that the Thirteen Colonies have acquired.
3. It is likely that the story is a comedy, as Rip is not greatly inconvenienced by his long sleep. In fact, when he wakes up, he goes back to a routine that is very similar to the one he had twenty years before. He, therefore, represents a link to the past. He serves as a way to highlight the importance of keeping links with traditions and ways of life of the past, in particular in a nation that is quickly changing. This is one of the main lessons the story wants us to learn.
