Answer:
The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity.
Explanation:
<em>Child of the Americas</em> is a poem written by Aurora Levins Morales. It is written from the first-person point of view. This point of view is recognizable by the use of pronouns <em>I</em> and<em> we.</em> The speaker tells about their feelings or events they go through from their own perspective. We can notice this in the given poem starting from the first line: <em>I am a child of the Americas...</em>
Throughout the poem, she tells about her cultural identity and claims ownership of it. She tells about how mixed the culture that surrounds her is and in what way. There is no mention of racism in this poem.
This is why the third option is the correct one.
My great grandfather worked in the coal mines as a child. At the time, he was sinewy and though he was small, he was very strong. There was very little repose. He said the workers had very little time to rest, and they were worked to the bone day in and day out. He showed me the scars he still possessed from those days, and with very little rest in that time, he could never really outgrew his lean figure. Would he have been brawny and strong like the men of today if he had rested from work? I could not imagine my great grandfather being anywhere near muscular even if he was young.
Hope this helped! With these kind of assignments you wanna make sure you show you understand the definitions.
