Read the paragraph from a student’s literary essay comparing two different works. (1) Sandra Cisneros’s “Mericans” is about a yo

Answer:

Wishes her heritage was different because she has difficulty relating to her grandmother.

Explanation:

Based on the excerpt from the essay "Mexicans" by Sandra Cisneros, it can be inferred that the speaker/ protagonist Micaela, is finding it hard to actually come to terms with the Mexican heritage of her grandmother. She feels more like an outsider, even though she is also from the same Mexican blood. Her grandmother's Mexican identity seems different from the Mexican identity she was used to. The passage seems to support the idea that Micaela wishes her heritage was different because she has difficulty relating to her grandmother.

Why is defending rights important
vitfil [10]

Answer:

While human rights provide rights and freedoms, a person’s ability to enjoy such rights will be dependent on other’s ability to respect that. As such, there is a degree of responsibility that comes with the enjoyment of human rights.

Indifference is becoming a global affliction. With barbarous human right abuses taking place across the world, it is easy to become overwhelmed and fall into apathy. It is important to remember that neutrality is a decision; choosing not to act in the face of injustice will only perpetuate the situation.
