I went north—I did not try to hide myself. When a god or a demon saw me, then I would die, but meanwhile I was no longer afraid.

My hunger for knowledge burned in me—there was so much that I could not understand. After a while, I knew that my belly was hungry. I could have hunted for my meat, but I did not hunt. It is known that the gods did not hunt as we do—they got their food from enchanted boxes and jars. Sometimes these are still found in the Dead Places—once, when I was a child and foolish, I opened such a jar and tasted it and found the food sweet. But my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for, often, that food is death. Now, though, I had long gone past what was forbidden, and I entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.
–“By the Waters of Babylon,”

In this passage of Waters of Babylon, the conflicts that the character faces are:

Character Vs. Society, because he is breaking laws when he says: "I had long gone past what was forbidden", the speaker shows that he entering the towers is something that is not allowed in the society, or by people in general.

Character Vs. Character because he faces demons. As the speaker says at the beginning of the excerpt: "When a god or a demon saw me, then I would die." He respects the demons and gods and it shows when he says he will remain stable until one of them finally comes and when he says that, although he is hungry, he will not hunt because it is known that gods did not hunt. He will look in the towers for the gods food.

Character Vs. Nature because his hunger is driving him to take risks. He decided not to hunt, so he will look for the food of the gods inside the towers and he doesn't care if it is forbidden, he is "<em>long past what was forbidden</em>".

How is the speaker's point of view in the poem "Child of the Americas" used to explore cultural identity?
atroni [7]

Answer:

The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity.

Explanation:

<em>Child of the Americas</em> is a poem written by Aurora Levins Morales. It is written from the first-person point of view. This point of view is recognizable by the use of pronouns <em>I</em> and<em> we.</em> The speaker tells about their feelings or events they go through from their own perspective. We can notice this in the given poem starting from the first line: <em>I am a child of the Americas...</em>

Throughout the poem, she tells about her cultural identity and claims ownership of it. She tells about how mixed the culture that surrounds her is and in what way. There is no mention of racism in this poem.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

How we see jack and ralph differing priorities in chapter 3
Afina-wow [57]

Jack and Ralph disagree over leadership styles and the priorities of what must be done on the island.  Ralph feels that building the shelters should be the group's biggest priority; he worries about the littluns who do not sleep well at night and the possibility of more bad weather.   Most of Ralph's frustrations stem from not having enough help from the other older boys on the shelters.  They all agreed in the meeting that it was a good idea, but the actual implementation has been more challenging.

When Ralph asks Jack to help with the shelters, Jack refuses, saying that meat and hunting is more important to the tribe.  After the boys debate that their island might not be a "good island," the boys come to an understanding that they both want different things, but the issue remains unresolved as to which is more important.
