Answer:

Anaphora "It ought to be possible" to emphasize the lack of equality.

Explanation:

Anaphora is referred to as the literary device using repetition of certain phrases to emphasize the implied message and convey it more effectively. In this excerpt, President Kennedy highlights the inequality and injustice experienced by black Americans by using "Anaphora". She repeats the phrase "it ought to be possible" several times in this excerpt to urge the audiences to lay the foundation of an America which is free from 'Racial segregation' and where all the Americans would be treated with equal services at every place. She uses "ought to" that suggests 'the right thing to be done' and i.e. implicit of the liberty to live life, right to vote and equal treatment with all the privileges to all the Americans(including the African-American) which is of prime importance to her.

Answers with Explanation:

1. Compare the perspectives of the narrator and her first employers regarding wages.

The narrator in the story views wage as an important aspect when applying for a job, especially when it comes to immigrant labor. The first employers, on the other hand, views asking a question about wages a sign of disrespect. They told Anzia that instead of thinking about wages, she should be thankful to be associated with the Americans.

2. What does this comparison reveal about how they view immigrant labor?

The narrator views immigrant labor as something that will free her from poverty and oppression. She thought that moving to another country, like America, would allow her the freedom to express herself and earn just amount of wage. However, for the employers, immigrant labor is something they take advantage of. They thought that they're superior than the immigrants, that's why they treat them with harsh labor and long hours of work.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the essay entitled "America and I," written by Anzia Yazierska. It focuses on Anzia's struggles in adopting the lifestyle of American people.
