Correct answer: Immigrants must remember and preserve their own native cultures.
<u>Judith</u> Ortiz Cofer was born in Puerto Rico. During her childhood her family traveled back and forth between the US and Puerto Rico. Her father was in the military and was stationed in New Jersey. When she was 15, her family permanently relocated to Georgia.
Her poem, <em>El Ovido, </em>published in 1987, urges immigrants not to turn away from the heritage and culture they came from as they settle in a new place -- in this case, the United States. Further in the poem, she says it is "dangerous to disdain the plaster saints before which your mother kneels, praying with embarrassing fervor, that you survive in the place you have chosen to live."
Answer:
Hello,
Today I visited your restaurant and orderded the signature truffle pasta, wagyu beef steak, and a bottle of 23 year old wine along with your famous color changing ice cream. Since I spent over $300, I was expecting excellent service and a satisfied stomach. But the steak and pasta arrived extremely late and the food was already cold by then. The chees had already soldified and the steak was still a little cold in the inside. I called the waiter named Jean and he looked at me as if I was a dirty peice of gum on his shoe. I wanted him to send the food back to the chef and warm the food up again politly, but he would give me dirty looks and just walked away. I was appalled and disgusted. After 30 minutes later, I got another waiter to send the food back but after it was warmed up, it was even worse. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was way to salty. The beef had a stench as if it wasn't cleaned well in the beginning. I request that you fire Jean, the rude waiter. I also request you to return the money I paid.
Thanks,
A extremely dissapointed customer
