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.

What does Jefferson state directly as the reason the Declaration of Independence had to be written?
Aneli [31]
In the Summary Review of the Rights of British America Jefferson sets out many reasons for the necessity of a declaration of independence among which are the despotism of the British crown under George III in preventing the inhabitants of the 13 colonies from the pursuit of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Also, the colonies had written the king several times about the necessity of redress for their grievances but had never received a response. Also, being a colony of Great Britain, free trade with other countries was not allowed.
