(1) sandra cisneros’s “mericans” is about a young american girl of mexican descent who is struggling to find her own cultural identity. (2) cisneros illustrates this through a number of images and ideas. (3) for example, the speaker, micaela, calls her grandmother “awful,” and seems to resent the woman’s strict views and religious ideals. (4) the speaker also mentions how she and her brother emulate characters from popular american television programs when they play make-believe. (5) lastly, she describes physically standing outside her family’s church, an act that symbolizes the fact that she feels like an outsider to mexican culture. (6) although micaela is of mexican descent, she seems to feel a stronger connection to the united states. which is the best thesis statement for the entire essay? while the speaker of okita’s poem feels strongly about her identity as an american citizen, the speaker of cisneros’s short story identifies more closely with her mexican family. though the speakers in okita’s poem and cisneros’s short story have strong roots in foreign cultures, both of them feel more connected to their american identities. the family members in cisneros’s and okita’s works play a significant role in the lives of both narrators as they contemplate their place in hostile environments. cisneros and okita rely on imagery to convey their ideas about american identity.

Read the following excerpt from life on the mississippi by mark twain. no girl could withstand his charms. he "cut out" every boy in the village. when his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. but when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism. how does twain's use of understatement serve his purpose? be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.
