Bradstreet believed that

the correct answer is a. how to make proposal that works.

indeed, the register is quite formal and the tone is especially objective as it avoids the use of the first and second person singular (i, you) and opts instead for the third person plural which is more impersonal and focuses on the data and the argument that is being developed by the author. the formality adds the impression of respectability to the work and the impersonality adds objectivity to it.

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

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.
