What does "Becoming Joey" suggest about the acceptance of diversity in schools? Use specific evidence from the poem to support your answer.

Answer with Explanation:

"Becoming Joey" is a poem written by Paul C. Gorski. The poem suggests acceptance of diversity in schools by mentioning the "Mexican race" of Jose (who is an immigrant). This is evident in the 7th stanza, "spitting out his Mexican voice." This also shows that Jose has the freedom or the right to express himself in school.  

Although Jose didn't live a rich life, he was accepted in the same school were fairer or wealthier children learn. This is evident in the 4th stanza, "Jose pauses in the schoolyard where fairer kids laugh and scamper..."  

The last stanza shows how Jose incorporates the new American culture by being called "Joey." This clearly shows how he transitions from Mexican to American.

So, this explains the answer.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.

are you kidding? from that description of two mansions, you can't figure out which one is bleak and desolate? maybe you should consider looking those words up in a dictionary, if you don't know what they mean already.
