about?
In chapter 4

The day that their family will be free and not be in hiding.

Explanation:

And someday,” Mami continues, “we will be free, and all your cousins and aunts and uncles will come back and thank us.” She looks around at the scraggly grounds, the overgrown bushes, the abandoned houses...

 “I know it is, Anita.” Mami wipes away my tears with her thumbs. “For now, we have to be like the little worm in the cocoon of the butterfly. All closed up and secret until the day . . .” She spreads her arms as if they were wings.

the correct answer is "the rhythm and rhyme scheme add to an eerie and suspenseful tone". poetry is literature written in stanzas and lines that use rhythm to express feelings and ideas. poets will pay particular attention to the length, placement, and grouping of lines and stanzas. this is called form. lines or whole stanzas can be rearranged in order to create a specific effect on the reader.
