Answer:
The speaker's ancestors.
The speaker's curls.
Explanation:
Elizabeth Acevedo's poem "Hair" is a powerful poem that delves into the issue of self acceptance and identity. In this poem, the writer narrates how the hair became a piece of personal identity that sets the Latinas apart and how they are expected to try to be like normal people, meaning the white people.
In the given lines, the speaker reveals how they, the speaker and her ancestors, tried hard to find ways to "straighten" their curls and be more like the white people. She also strongly points out the fact that while her ancestors<em> "call[ed] them wild curls, [I] call them breathing"</em>, showing her acceptance of who she really is and letter her natural hair be as it is.
Thus, the "them" in the given lines refer to the ancestors as well as her curls.
Dear James.
First of all I would like to inform you that I had a lot of fun yesterday at your party and thank you immensely for having invited me. I haven't felt this excited in days, but that changed completely during the party, which was perfect and extremely fun. The choice of songs you made couldn't have been better and it managed to keep me dancing all night long. I also need praise for the foods that were being served. I can't imagine which one I liked the most. In addition, all the guests were very friendly and kind, I felt very welcomed.
I would like to take the opportunity and invite you to lunch tomorrow if you are not busy. That way we can talk more about the party and plan a next one, this time, on my own. What do you think?
I await your reply.
With love,
Maria.
