"immigrants"
by pat mora

wrap their babies in the american flag,
feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie,
name them bill and daisy,
buy them blonde dolls that blink blue
eyes or a football and tiny cleats
before the baby can even walk,
speak to them in thick english,
hallo, babee, hallo,
whisper in spanish or polish
when the babies sleep, whisper
in a dark parent bed, that dark
parent fear, "will they like
our boy, our girl, our fine american
boy, our fine american girl? "

Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. we parked the cars beyond the brickyard. the ovens and some deep holes had been equipped as dressing stations. there were three doctors that i knew. i talked with the major and learned that when it should start and our cars should be loaded we would drive them back along the screened road and up to the main road along the ridge where there would be a post and other cars to clear them. which best describes hemingway’s style of writing in the excerpt? straightforward and simple, while still relating a lot of information to the reader long-winded and offering far too much information to the reader overly complicated, making it difficult to interpret and understand the text effortless and uncomplicated, with little meaning for the reader to interpret
