s the topic/subject? How is the author feeling?
Aurora Levins Morales “Child of the Americas”
I am a child of the Americas,
A light-skinned mestiza (Mischling) of the Caribbean,
A child of many diaspora (verstreute Völker), born into this continent at a crossroads.

I am a U.S. Puerto Rican Jew,
5 A product of the ghettos of New York I have never known.
An immigrant and the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants.
I speak English with passion: it’s the tongue of my consciousness,
A flashing knife blade (Klinge) of cristal, my tool, my craft.

I am Caribeña (aus der Karibik), island grown. Spanish is my flesh,
10 Ripples (fließen) from my tongue, lodges (wörtl. logieren, wohnen) in my hips:
The language of garlic (Knoblauch) and mangoes,
The singing of poetry, the flying gestures of my hands.
I am of Latinoamerica, rooted in the history of my continent:
I speak from that body.

15 I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína (Name eines Indianerstammes). Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.
I am not European. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there.

I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish.
I was born at the crossroads
20 And I am whole.

Rodolfo Gonzales “I Am Joaquín”
I am Joaquin,
Lost in a world of confusion,
Caught up in a whirl (Wirbel, Strudel) of a gringo society,
Confused by the rules,
5 Scorned (verachten) by attitudes,
Suppressed by manipulations,
And destroyed by modern society.
My fathers have lost the economic battle
And won the struggle of cultural survival.
10 And now! I must choose between the paradox of
Victory of the spirit, despite physical hunger
Or to exist in the grasp (Umklammerung) of American social neurosis,
Sterilization of the soul, and a full stomach.
Yes. I have come a long way to nowhere,
15 Unwillingly dragged (zerren) by that
Monstrous, technical industrial giant called
Progress and Anglo success.
I look at myself. I watch my brothers.
I shed (vergießen) tears of sorrow.
20 I sow (säen) seeds of hate.
I withdraw (sich zurückziehen) to the safety within the
Circle of life …
MY OWN PEOPLE.

Functions of noun phrases in a sentence ​
marin [14]

The functions of noun phrases in a sentence ​include the following:

  • They serve as the objects or the verb subjects in the sentence.
  • They function as a group of words that denote predicates.
  • They complement prepositions in sentences.

<h3>What are noun phrases?</h3>

Noun phrases are groups of words that are not nouns but can act like nouns in sentences. Examples of words that can be described as noun phrases are; his, this, her, my, their, one, three, five, some, enough,etc.

They are classified into determiners, numerals, and possessive determiners. One of the examples of possessive determiners stated above is "their." Since nouns function as the subject in sentences, noun phrases can also function the same way.

Another way in which noun phrases can be used in sentences is when they function as complements to the prepositions. Numerals are identified as numbers and the figures mentioned above show ways in which numerals identify as noun phrases.
