Answer: The story shows Maya's personal journey as she works through her poor self-concept, unstable home life, sexual abuse, and teenage pregnancy. Some of the critical themes of this story surround racism, self-acceptance, and belonging.
Explanation:
Introspection is the mental process shown mainly in autobiographies in which the writer analyzes and formulates a judgment of his or her mental state. It is a self-declaration of one’s own mental or cognitive either decline or progress.
In this excerpt from the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin the two sentences that show the narrator's introspection are:
<em>“In truth, I found myself incorrigible with respect to Order; and now I am grown old, and my memory bad, I feel very sensibly the want of it.”</em>
<em>“But, on the whole, tho' I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet I was, by the endeavour, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it; as those who aim at perfect writing by imitating the engraved copies, tho' they never reach the wish'd-for excellence of those copies, their hand is mended by the endeavor, and is tolerable while it continues fair and legible.”</em>
The first two sentences from the first paragraph are the ones that show introspection best.

CORONA VIRUS: IMPORTANCE OF OUR HEALTH ARE FACILITIES
Dear Sir,
The corona virus caught us unawares to a large extent. Many of us did not know what to do to prevent it, even though we got guidelines on the mass media, the hospitals were largely uninformed about some important information about the virus early on which caused quite a number of avoidable deaths. Our health care workers have worked valiantly to curb this menace that has come upon not just our society but the whole world but at a time, even they were overwhelmed.
The importance of our healthcare facilities cannot be overemphasised so in the wake of recent happenings, I do hope you will include more editorials in the paper about steps to make sure we don't have such number of tragedies from any other outbreak in the future.
Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully,
Emma White.
