She relates a story about her own excitement at being in New York City.
Where is the poem so I can help ?
Answer:
Aside from Simone, Ma Tante as well as the other elderly people in the doctor's office and elderly people in general are treated unfairly in the story.
Explanation:
Debbie Rigaud's short story "Voilà!" revolves primarily around Simone and her great-aunt's relationship. But the story also delves into the issue of how the elderly are treated differently by the younger generations as well as how poorer people are treated. The author wants to portray that discrimination and bring it to the attention of the readers.
In the story, the great aunt <em>"Ma Tante"</em> is unfairly treated, as are the other elderly people in the run-down <em>"ghetto doctor's office"</em>. Another elderly that's treated unfairly is<em> "Mr. Charles Pemberton"</em> who Waverly insists on taking him on a wheelchair even though he can walk properly.
Aside from the elderly, the protagonist of the story Simone Thibodeaux also feels embarrassed for her background, for being different from her classmates. She admits<em> "My embarrassment at being seen in the ghetto doctor’s office outweighs my guilt."</em> Moreover, she is a Haitian, thereby resulting in different treatment from others, including the twin-nurse sisters and Waverly, who also made the suggestion that Simone helps the <em>"CARE-A-VAN"</em> volunteers by translating for them.
Answer:
- Identity versus role confusion.
Explanation:
'Identity versus role confusion' is illustrated as the fifth stage or phase of Erik Erikson's theory of 'psycho-social development' among the adolescent kids aging between 12 to 19 years of age. At this stage, adolescents tend to develop a recognition/sense of their 'selves' and affiliate it to their identity. In this phase, they experience a 'determinative' conflict as at this stage the success is affiliated with a tendency to stay faithful to their selves(identity) while the failure ends up in 'role confusion'.
As per the question, Joanne would likely be in this phase as she is going through the phase of 'developmental conflict' and suffers 'role confusion' as reflected by 'her revaluation of religious and political beliefs'. She tends to hold her 'self' and 'identity' over the confusions. Thus, she is going through '<u>Identity versus role confusion</u>' crisis stage of adulthood.
Epistasis should be one of your choices.
