<span>In this case I believe the mother's pride is a characteristic that too many people have lost to "fit in" one way or another. When the Canadian border guard says, "you have to be American or Canadian" expresses how you can only be A or B, while the diversity that exists both in Canada and the U.S. is ignored. The trials she faced for standing up for what was right for her, emphasizing her heritage as Blackfoot, are minimal to what has been faced in the past. In the sense that her pride delayed the trip to Salt Lake City, yes it hindered her, but in reality it was her own personal victory. She is able to pass through the border by giving the same reply to the question of citizenship, which demonstrates how something that seemed to be so crucial (being Canadian or American), can be waved when you realize unimportant it truly is. However, winning one small battle is not like winning the war against cultural discrimination and injustice, yet this taught her son to be proud of whom he is. In the end, I believe her pride was necessary to show how sticking to your morals can bring about a drastic change, no matter how small.</span>
Personification
It is personification because the qualities of earth, or moreover, society, are given human-like abilities.
Answer:
Well for me personally I'd write an essay about when I learned to Ice Skate. It mentions to put it in chronological order, so I'd being with how I was watching figure skating and thinking to myself how easy it looks. It says to include the theme of balance, so I'd most likely mention how difficult it is to skate with your center on two small blades, and the importance of a knee bend. I'd likely add conversations that happened between my mother and I while she helped me to balance myself, and my internal realization that the faster and more comfortable you get, the easier it is.. similar to riding a bike. I'd conclude with how I am still learning how to control my center of balance, and start trying to attempt things like skating on one leg, simple spins, and skating backwards.
I hope I didn't confuse you, and I hope this example helps you with your own essay!
