I read them my poem "Immigrants.” Immigrants wrap their babies in the American flag, feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie, na

me them Bill and Daisy, buy them blonde dolls that blink blue eyes or a football and tiny cleats before the baby can even walk, speak to them in thick English, hallo, babee, hallo, whisper in Spanish or Polish when the baby sleeps, whisper in a dark parent bed, that dark parent fear, "Will they like our boy, our girl, our fine american boy, our fine american girl?” As a writer, I understand the value and necessity of knowing my past, of keeping that door open. Mora includes the poem in her speech to entertain her audience with stories from her own childhood. encourage her audience to remember their family history. educate her audience about life in other countries. persuade her audience to change political viewpoints.

<span>Mora includes the poem in her speech to encourage her audience to remember their family history.
Mora's speech is about immigrants who want to blend into the new society so much that they completely delete their own family history and background. She is obviously against this, saying that we should be proud of where we come from and not try to eradicate every trace of our family history just to become Americanized.

lbvjy [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Scrooge is avaricious and for that reason sees the world as a place of avarez, where people are terrible and do not deserve consideration. He believes that Christmas is an invention to take money from people like him and that nobody needs Christmas to survive, it is something superfluous and meaningless.

His nephew and Cratchit have a very different view, they believe that the world is a place of kind people who can help those in need, Christmas being the perfect time for that, to be generous, loving and to celebrate with the family.
