1. The poet writes first in Spanish and follows it with an English translation. This allows non-Spanish speakers to understand the lines in Spanish. What is another reason the poet uses both Spanish and English?

Explanation:

so that people who speak either Spanish or English can read what he is writing. Pretty much so that he gets more people to read it because it is two different Languages if that makes sense.

Hope this helps!
