Answer with Explanation:

The speaker depicts the Americans as unable to cherish the beautiful moments because they are <em>always in a hurry</em> to think about what other things they can accomplish due to short time. This shows their materialistic side that once they achieve one thing, they relax and, in just a moment, they become violent again to get more than they achieved.

They always want to achieve things easily <em>without thinking about the consequences of their actions</em> on others because they want to be <u>easily gratified. </u>They are not immediately contented nor do they find things perfect for their satisfaction. Thus, they are always<u> restless and anxious</u> and it makes them<em> unhappy</em> even if they have the abundance of things.

Answer:

1) A nun looked at the narrator's house as if it were a terrible place to live.

2) She is the more carefree child, the one who has her own opinions.

  • She is using the wild description of her hair to imply that she is also wild. It wouldn't be choice B, because that's too literal; and C and D don't make sense.

3) She feels like her family is holding her back from opportunities and experiences.

  • If she had stopped with the balloon, it would have been a happy metaphor. But a balloon tied to an anchor? Can't fly, can't go anywhere with the anchor holding it down.

4) She and Nenny's laughter is loud and grabs the attention of anyone nearby.

  • She's contrasting it with Rachel and Lucy. It's not orthodox, it's carefree and noisy.

5) She feels ashamed that she and Nenny have no money to buy anything.

  • Nenny asks how much the music box is, but Gil doesn't even offer it because he knows they don't have any money. Esperanza knows, though.

6) She wishes she had a different name than Esperanza.

  • The author is contrasting the two worlds, the hispanic and american, that they live between. Her name is hard to pronounce, and she connects it with sadness and longing.

The poem "At Dusk" shows uncertainty and indecision on the cat's part to go home because there were many things to pursue. It was able to hear the sound of the voice as indicated by the moving of its ears; however, instead idenifying the meaning of the call to go home, it continued to enjoy the more attractive sights.
