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.
I would say a quote that expresses the writers message
Answer:
The Frias tell her that she must leave with him after Romeo is dead.
Explanation:
The Frias tell Juliet that she must leave with him because he realized that the watchman is coming to the tomb yard but Juliet refuses to go with the Frias and kill herself first with the poison but it is not sufficient so she take Romeo;s dagger and stabs it in her heart and die upon Romeo's body. This all happen due to the immaturity of Romeo when someone tells him that Juliet died so he did not confirm the news and drunk the poison.
