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.
Answer:
Julius Caesar, the Roman dictator, was assassinated by a group of senators on the Ides of March (15 March) of 44 BC during a meeting of the Senate at the Theatre of Pompey in Rome. The senators stabbed Caesar 23 times. The senators claimed to be acting over fears that Caesar's unprecedented concentration of power during his dictatorship was undermining the Roman Republic, and presented the deed as an act of tyrannicide. At least 60 senators were party to the conspiracy, led by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus and Decimus Junius Brutus. Despite the death of Caesar, the conspirators were unable to restore the institutions of the Republic. The ramifications of the assassination led to the Liberators' civil war and ultimately to the Principate period of the Roman Empire.

It makes me smile when I think about this memory even a year later. It happened in an unexpected place and I was surprised at my own actions. One hot day, I was on my way home after going to a job interview. I was thinking of meeting my uncle for lunch first so I took alternative route through some neatly-cut grass to reach the shopping mall. To my surprise, my eyes spotted something unusual on a patch of grass.

Curious, I went nearer to the object and realised it was a wallet. I picked it up and opened to see the contents inside. The wallet contained money and important identification documents belonging to the owner.
<u>Picture 3:</u>
I was tempted to take the cash for myself and discard the rest of the wallet's contents. However, good overcame the greed in me and I looked for the address in the identification card so I could return the wallet to the owner. When I reached the address, I found him looking anxiously for something outside the door. I called to him and asked what he was looking for. He told me he had lost his wallet so I showed him the wallet I had found. His face lighted up as he checked the wallet's contents and verified it was the wallet he had lost. He was pleased at my honestly and we had a short chat. I told him I was looking for a job as it was hard these days at job interviews. This young man turned out to be a manager of a big company that I had tried to apply for but got rejected. In return for my good deed, he offered me a job there. I landed a job at a company I liked and it was the best day I ever had.
