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.

Which detail best supports the fact that "The Catnapper" is a mystery
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

A) Cara and Wesley do not know who has taken the cats.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A) Cara and Wesley do not know who has taken the cats.

B) Cara and Wesley care about the people in their town.

C) Cara and Wesley talk to Mrs. Pebble as she bird-watches.

D) Cara and Wesley’s first impression of Barney is wrong.

In this text, the concept of a "catnapper" is a play on words that relies on the combination of the words "cat" and "kidnapper." The word is used in reference to someone who steals cats. In the text, we learn that the true identity of this criminal is not known. We know this based on the fact that Cara and Wesley do not know who took the cats.
