Read the excerpt from “first generation” of dreaming in cuban.
pilar, her first grandchild, writes to her from brooklyn in a spanish that is no longer hers. she speaks the hard-edged lexicon of bygone tourists itchy to throw dice on green felt or asphalt. pilar’s eyes, celia’s fears, are no longer used to the compacted light of the tropics, where a morning hour can fill a month of days in the north, which receives only careless sheddings from the sun. she imagines her granddaughter pale, gliding through paleness, malnourished and cold without the food of scarlets and greens.
based on the excerpt, which of the following statements most accurately describes the changes that the narrator believes to be true about pilar?
a. pilar’s new form of spanish reveals that she is the product of multiculturalism.
b. pilar’s actions prove that she has totally assimilated into american culture.
c. pilar’s words show that she is extremely anxious to retain her cuban identity.
d. pilar’s physical appearance makes it clear that she is suffering in america.
