I'm not quite sure what kind of poem you are looking for but I hope this helps:
Running
Running for my life
Hiding
I hide from the hunter
Or the last place I'll be
Is six feet under
Just like all the others
But then I would lose
Lose the game
The Most Dangerous Game
Of man hunting man
Instincts
My instincts are quick
A trap meant for me
Is the last thing his dog sees
The waves engulf me
But not for long
I swim around to a new shore
And don't bother knocking at his door
By means of challenge
I struggle and win
My name is Rainsford
And I beat Zaroff at his own game
The Most Dangerous Game
Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant
Kids by Russell Freedman.
Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:
Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother.
Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers - a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty
How does this quotation add credibility to Freedman's statement that the immigrants never forgot seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time? It adds credibility because it comes from a worker on the ship who sailed past the Statue of Liberty. It adds credibility because it comes from an immigrant who actually shares his memories of seeing the Statue of Liberty. It adds credibility because it comes from a historian who studied immigrants and the Statue of Liberty. It adds credibility because it comes from a journalist who researched the Statue of Liberty.
Answer:
It adds credibility because it comes from an immigrant who actually shares his memories of seeing the Statue of Liberty
Explanation:
Freedman made a statement that immigrants never forgot seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time because the narration comes from an immigrant who shares his experience of seeing the statue as he wrote "Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty"
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.
