In the second stanza, Espada writes in a style of vivid images that depict immigrant immigrants in tough situations they often face in their daily lives; then he tells how "this year" things will be different. Select one of these images and describe it in your own words. Then explain how Espada's poem proposes that it should be different "this year."

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.

dependent clause!

example: "before the food gets cold"
