The behavior of human beings can be very complicated. to find out how we learn, scientists often study the activities of animals. sometimes they see how long it will take for a mouse to reach food in the center of a maze. sometimes pigeons or other animals are taught to obtain food by pressing buttons. (a) in the first experiments in space flight, trained chimpanzees and dogs were sent into orbit. (b) they proved that living things could carry out certain activities while whirling about in space. (c) one early theory likened human memory to a muscle that had to be regularly exercised in order to function properly. this theory was eventually replaced by the notion that remembering was like writing, with experience the pen and the mind a blank page. (d) but eventually this theory was also rejected. in its place came another hypothesis--that human memory functioned like a complex and well-stocked library catalog. with access to a key word, you could look up any piece of stored information. but over time that theory has also been discarded. human memory may, in fact, be too sophisticated and too complex to be explained through any one single simile or metaphor. when a paragraph contains two main ideas, it should be divided into two paragraphs. choose the letter at the point where the passage should be divided. a) a b) b c) c d) d

in both pieces of work, the authors make reference to different cultural minorities (japanese and latinos) which have to adapt themselves to the ideals of the american society. in the case of the poem "response to executive order 9066", the story of a young american of japanese descent tells her story in first person, making the narrative more vivid. there are some references that make evident that the main character is of japanese descent (such as her surname). the reader can perceive how this girl is discriminated by one of her friends, and the way in which she reacts: she does not know what to do, and acts politely towards her friend. on the other hand, the short story "mericans" depicts a young mexican american girls who feels that is trapped between the "old world" and the "new world". this could make reference to her feeling trapped between her mexican heritage, and her american life. the most ironic moment in this short story, is when tourists try to speak spanish to her, and she answers in english perfectly. there are also some symbols present in the story, such as "la virgen de guadalupe" clearly related to mexican culture.

both pieces of work tell the story of a young girl that struggles with certain stereotypes of what being american means, such as her cultural heritage, her skin colour, her costumes, and her names.
