Answer:

 In the text "I Want to Be Miss America" We can see how four young immigrant sisters try to adapt to the American woman stereotype and what they learn throughout the process. The young Dominican sisters realized by watching the beauty contest "Miss America" that the stereotype of the American woman was nothing like her physical appearance. As described in the text, the color girls in the contest were the first ones to be left out, and the winners always were white and slim women, which reinforces the stereotype that the American woman should be white, shaved, and with straight hair. The girls also realized by watching "Miss America" that what society expected from women was for them to become perfect wives and mothers, but they become aware that they could also study and have other aspirations in life.

Explanation:

The text "I Want to Be Miss America" talks about four immigrant sisters in America that want to look and be like American girls. They watch the beauty contest Miss America and copy the American style as regards their looks. They realized that the stereotype of the American woman is the white, slim girl with straight hair, and they do not look like that. The other thing that they become aware of is the social expectations that the society has for women, which is to become a wife and a mother, but there other possibilities, like the contestants, who looked like the perfect wives, that attended college to aspire to something different.

The two examples in the essay are the color girls being the first to be left out of the contest and how the American woman should look (white, slim, straight hair).
