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 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 nor polite. which idea is true of the speakers in both excerpts? they feel more connected to their american culture than that of their ancestors. they wish they were american nationals rather than foreigners. they feel closely connected to the cultures of their ancestors. they are bilingual and move easily from one culture to another.

The answer is:

They feel more connected to their American culture than that of their ancestors.

In both excerpts from Dwight Okita's "In Response to Executive Order 9066" and Sandra Cisneros' "Mericans," the narrators direct attention to their attachment to American way of life. The first narrator of Asian ancestry finds eating with chopsticks strange and her favorite food is hot dogs. Similarly, Micaela, who has Mexican origins, is not fully proficient in Spanish and responds to her Mexican grandmother in an unsuitable manner.

The idea that is true of the speakers in both excerpts is that "they feel more connected to their American culture than that of their ancestors."
