Second person stories tend to make the reader a character in the book. Second person stories refer to the stories wherein, the reader is directly addressed. This narration is often used by the writers in order to bring the readers closer to the story by characterizing them in the book. When referring to the second person the writer mentions the pronoun "you" in contrary with first-person "I" or third person like he, she, they etc.

Excerpt from "Once in a Lifetime" by Jhumpa Lahiri which most clearly uses second-person point of view is:

Your father was in the suit and tie he always wore, his handsome, bespectacled face leaning toward someone in conversation.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids.

However, this excerpt doesn't deal with description of the physical examination; it rather focuses on the fear and constant anxiety triggered by the possibility of a family member being banned from entering the country.

It strongly depicts that family worries never stopped, not even after reaching American soil.

Coop speaks about the dissociative state and how it relates to Katie's case. Coop suggests that the death of the infant from natural causes would be enough to cause Katie to block out the child's death. The prosecution questions Coop and tries to put holes in his case. Finding this to only be marginally successful, the prosecution asks Coop about his relationship with Ellie, suggesting their intimate relationship has something to do with his testimony.

I think he means that hispanic people are quite numerous in the US and their numbers have been growing and they take jobs that WASP Americans won't do like picking grapes or housework/homecare so are becoming a growing force economically and politically.</span>
