PLEASE HELP ME

Sandra Cisneros's "Mericans" is about a young American girl of Mexican descent who is struggling to find her own cultural identity. Cisneros illustrates this through a number of images and ideas, for example the speaker, Micaela, calls her grandmother "awful," and seems to resent the woman's strict views and religious ideals "because of her Mexican descent". The speaker also mentions how she and her brother emulate characters from popular American television shows when they play make-believe and other games. She also say's when she is physically standing outside her family's church with her family, it creates an emotional act inside of her that makes her feel she symbolizes strongly that she feels she is an outsider to the Mexican culture, because although Micaela is of Mexican descent, she seems to feel a stronger connection to the United States.

    Cisneros's and Okita's stories reveal that America is made up of a blend of cultures as well as its own. Cultural identity has to do with who you, as an individual person, are. Different foods, traditions, clothing, and language can contribute to one's cultural identity. However, some may interpret cultural identity differently. Americans get their cultural identity from many cultures and add their own.

   Cisneros's "Mericans" and "Okita's Response to Executive Order 9066" reveal that America is made up of a blend of cultures as well as its own. Okita shows how she interprets her own cultural identity and how others identify her. She uses an anecdote to convey her theme. In February 1942, the US President signed Executive order 9066, affectingmany Japanese people in America.

    Okita also uses a tomato, which is a food native to the Americas, to highlight the speaker’s American identity, while Cisneros uses the English language to give her characters an American identity. The writer interestingly, uses bleak imagery to convey the sense of isolation they feel from their respective cultures. The speaker of Okita’s poem feels a sense of loss at the prospect of being moved from her home, while the speaker of Cisneros’s short story longs to leave her current location and return to America. The American identity of both speakers is highly questionable, as they frequently refer to their foreign identities.

   The speaker of Okita’s poem feels strongly about her identity as an American citizen, as 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.
