Read the passage from “child of the americas.” i am of latinoamerica, rooted in the history of my continent: i speak from that body. in these two lines, the speaker is showing how a. latinoamerica is the foundation of culture. b. it is important for people to visit their homelands. c. culture is embedded in a person’s identity. (correct answer) d. immigrants in america handle language barriers

C. culture is embedded in a person’s identity.

In this excerpt, the author states that her background is Latin American, and that this background is within her body. What she means is that her identity (her personality, character, values, opinions, etc.) has been formed within that cultural background. Therefore, it is so intrinsic to who she is that she could not change it any more than she could change her own body. Moreover, when she "speaks" (interacts with the world), she does so from that perspective, and that body of shared experiences.

the author is intending to draw attention to the plight of refugees, editorial and biography support this. both workpieces make the reader empathize with enrique as well as with the other young migrants from central america. the writer, however, is using a different approach to each text.

the editorial includes strong words to persuade readers. he is trying hard to convince readers in the us to change its refugee approach.

the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language which the writer uses wisely in the setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.
