Taken from the poem “<em>Abuelito Who</em>” by Sandra Cisneros, the author has used the figurative language of “coins” and “rain” in lines 1, 20, and 21 in order to describe her memories about her grandfather. Cisneros has used simile, which is a figure of speech, throughout the poem. The main function of simile is to make a comparison to show the similarities between two different things. Moreover, simile is usually accompanied by words such as “as” and “like”. In the text, there are two examples of this figure of speech: “Abuelito who throws coins <em>like</em> rain” (line 1)/ “is the rain on the room that falls <em>like</em> coins” (line 21). Simile has helped the author develop the meaning of the poem, that is, <u>to narrate about particular memories she has of her grandfather or “abuelito”</u>, an affectionate term for a grandfather in Spanish. For instance, Cisneros used figurative language and simile in line 1 to describe how her grandfather played with her making coins fall like raindrops from above.

Answer& Explanation : I don't believe Americans are ethnocentric than people in the other Western industrial nations. I think most liberated nations tend to measure other people's culture by using their own cultures as the basement of those judgements. America may seem to be more ethnocentric than others only because it is one culture that is always on the spotlight and has been popularized by media and even by people from other nations who adopt certain behavior from Americans. The fact that America is more on the lime light make their views seem more dominant and because they are more expressive when compared to other Western cultures otherwise most western and even some part of Eastern cultures are ethnocentric the difference is they are not on the spot light for everyone to know how they feel.
