American poets, novelists, and other writers often write about the topic of american identity. in this lesson, you have read excerpts from two texts, “response to executive order 9066” by dwight okita, and “mericans” by sandra cisneros. determine a common theme that both authors establish about the topic of american identity. in a five-paragraph literary analysis essay, explain how each author develops the common theme. compare and contrast how the authors develop this theme by referencing specific literary devices and techniques in your response.

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

now lets look at the choices we have

a)students as entrepreneurs

b)courage and determination

c) artificial intelligence

i don't think ai (artificial intelligence) has anything to do with this.

(a) would be wrong because entrepreneurs are people who start their own business.

so it came out to be b i think this is the right answer because you will need courage to make your own stories/skit and you will need determination to keep on going even if you mess up.

the answer would be b.
