Poem Analysis Comparison

I believe that me and Jessica had the same thoughts about the poem. I think she's right people do come to expect things but those dreams end up getting ruined.

The theme of the poem "Immigrants in our own Land" By Jimmy Santiago Baca to me is that things don't also go the way you want them to go

His tone to me sounds serious

His mood seems sad and depressing

Simile is one of the literary devices Baca uses. "They used common sense like scholars use glasses and books to reach the world."
