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

ung American girl of Mexican descent who is struggling to find her own cultural identity. (2) Cisneros illustrates this through a number of images and ideas. (3) For example, the speaker, Micaela, calls her grandmother “awful,” and seems to resent the woman’s strict views and religious ideals. (4) The speaker also mentions how she and her brother emulate characters from popular American television programs when they play make-believe. (5) Lastly, she describes physically standing outside her family’s church, an act that symbolizes the fact that she feels like an outsider to Mexican culture. (6) Although Micaela is of Mexican descent, she seems to feel a stronger connection to the United States. This paragraph supports the idea that Micaela

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.

You have just finished a lesson that discussed the philosophical argument of Kate Chopin’s “Story of an Hour.” Her philosophical
yarga [219]

There's plenty of evidence in the story that arguments her point of view. The irony in "Story of an hour" is a good example of how women were treated and expected to behave. She was thought to be depressed and sad about his husband's death but she's actually happy and cheerful about the good news of his death. Although she feels joyful, she can't understand her feelings because she knows she's not expected to feel that way. Another good example is the ending, everyone thinks she died because of joy at seeing his husband alive but in fact, she may have died from a heart attack because her happiness only lasted for an hour. Society's expectations and pressures on women are still a present issue. Beauty standards, gender roles, and the fashion industry are just a little few examples of how society shapes women's lives. Social media, propaganda and the fashion industry show women of a certain race, age and body type. They just stick the beauty standards and these tell women how they should be in order to have beauty, but it doesn't encourage them to love themselves as they are.

Another example is the thought that a woman without a husband is miserable and incomplete. Her family thinks that he's destroyed because her husband should be her whole world but actually she doesn't care about being lonely at all, she just thinks about her freedom. The society's pressure for getting married has changed a bit but it differs in many countries and societies. However, it is still a present issue that women are not taken seriously when they said they won't get married or have children. They are thought has selfish because of having a different perspective and plan for their lives different from the one everyone expects them to follow.

I'm not going to buy my tickets in advance because there should be plenty of seats and I'm not positive if I'll make it on time,
maksim [4K]

In this scenario, yes, you should wait. If you know that there is a possibility that you won't even show up and that there will be extra seats anyways, there's absolutely no reason you should rush to buy the tickets and risk wasting money.
