Q1. Marquez gives specific effects ("we're going to speak to one another in Spanish" before she gives particular CAUSES ("respect for our parents and comfort in our cultural roots") (1, 4). Is this a logical order of presentation? Why or why not?
Q2. Why does Márquez cite immigrants from Poland, Finland, Italy, and "wherever else"? Is this additional evidence sufficient to justify her CLAIM that it's okay for her family to speak their native language in public? Why or why not?
Q3. Marquez makes a point of saying that immigrants from Latin America have "fought for this country" and "participated fully in this nation's democracy by voting, holding political office, and paying taxes". What potential objection to her claim is she anticipating here?
Q4. How and how effectively does Márquez use elements of NARRATIVE to develop her analysis of causes and effects? Point to specific passages in the text that support your answer.
