Read the excerpt from “In Response to Executive Order 9066.” I am a fourteen-year-old girl with bad spelling and a messy room. If it helps any, I will tell you I have always felt funny using chopsticks and my favorite food is hot dogs. Read the excerpt from “Mericans.” Micaela, you may wait outside with Alfredito and Enrique. The awful grandmother says it all in Spanish, which I understand when I’m paying attention. “What?” I say, though it’s neither proper not polite. Which idea is true of the speakers in both excerpts?
