Once upon a time there was a little boy named Charles that lived in Alaska. This boy had lots of friends there and he thought that Alaska was the best place in the world.
One day, Charles and his family had to move, since his parents couldn't find a place to work. They moved to a horrible, but cheap house in North Dakota. Charles wanted to cry. He missed all of his friends, and he didn't like North Dakota.
One day, Charles had an idea to go back to Alaska. He decided that he was going to rob a bank that night so he could recuperate the money to return to Alaska.
That night, Charles was starting his plan. When he got to the gates of the bank, he was prepared to shoot everywhere and kill many people. But after the first shoot to nowhere, three security guards caught him, and when Charles wanted to shoot them too, he realized that he didn't have any bullets left. So, the security guards shot Charles 1,000 times and he died horribly.
Never be too greedy. If you are you may have to pay back for it.

The answer would be "It is used positively in the poem, but it usually has a negative connotation."
The correct answer is C. <span>Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society.
The other answers can be eliminated because this excerpt is not criticizing marriage, presenting guidelines on how to live, or showing how one's heritage can limit choices.
Instead, he is relating a story from his life to show what it means to live in a multicultural society. Ultimately, even though people may be from different cultures, they still share many similarities. This is made clear by the final line: Her people were like Mexicans, only different.</span>
