Read the following excerpt from julia ortiz cofer’s poem "el olvido." it is dangerous to spurn the clothes you were born to wear for the sake of fashion; dangerous to use weapons and sharp instruments you are not familiar with; dangerous to disdain the plaster saints before which your mother kneels praying with embarrassing fervor that you survive in the place you have chosen to live: the items listed in this excerpt symbolize: a. the ways of life that are unfamiliar to the speaker. b. the fervent religious beliefs of the speaker’s mother. c. the speaker’s desire to forget embarrassing traditions. d. the traditions and customs of the speaker’s native land.
