Answer:

In this excerpt Ferlinghetti is not proud of new America.

Explanation:

Ferlinghetti's way of referring to the new America shows us that he is not proud.

There is much irony in his words when he speaks of <em>"the vast empire carrying its corporate monoculture around the world." </em>

The new America is more technological than with values and that is what is criticized in this excerpt.

Even if we search the full text we can see how Ferlinghetti talks about<em> "to save us from ourselves and how to survive our own rulers". </em>

So we can conclude that he is not proud of New America.

She returned to her 12th birthday bcuz she thinks it was unimportant. While she was reliving this she realized that all humans are blind. She realized that she took life for granted and did not appreciate the little things. She did not appreciate what she had until she had lost it. In the beginning the other dead people had warned her not to return to the land of the living but she still did it. When she returned she told them "I should have listened to you. That's all human beings are. Just blind people.
