Did I use the emdash & semicolon correctly: “I gaze at a strip of polaroids idling on my desk and reminisce about the day they were taken — the beginning of January.”

“It was chilly, but I didn’t notice; I was having too much fun.”

explanation:

- "the answers are a and b.  

when cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the racial injustices present in american society. as these injustices have changed over time, the american identity  has also shifted. those changes are, in turn, reflected in american literature."

it is grammatically incorrect and is illegible to me and i can not answer it.
