Read the passage from “child of the americas.” i am not african. africa is in me, but i cannot return. i am not taína. taíno is in me, but there is no way back. i am not european. europe lives in me, but i have no home there. how does the repetition of the phrase “i am not” to establish the author’s tone? (a) it expresses anger over the treatment of her ancestors. (b) it expresses sadness for not knowing who her ancestors were. (c) it expresses a confidence in her identity of mixed heritage. (d) it expresses a feeling of superiority based on cultural knowledge.

The repetition of the phrase "I am not" helps to establish the author's tone in the following way:

(C) It expresses a confidence in her identity of mixed heritage.

The author does not sound angry at all. She merely accepts her mixed heritage. In three negative statements, all of them followed by affirmative ones, the author serenely states her bloodline did not originate in only one place.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !

the third paragraph is the the soltion or ending of a story
