Based on the poem, with which statement would the poet most likely agree?

Borders are a necessary part of life and we must live within their confines or face being confused about our identities.

Which line below best supports the answer to question 3?

In the Borderlands

you are the battleground

where the enemies are kin to each other;

you are at home, a stranger,

the border disputes have been settled

the volley of shots have shattered the truce

you are wounded, lost in action

dead, fighting back;

To live in the Borderlands means

the mill with the razor white teeth wants to shred off

your olive-red skin, crush out the kernel, your heart

pound you pinch you roll you out

smelling like white bread but dead;

To survive the Borderlands

you must live sin fronteras

be a crossroads.

To live in the Borderlands means you...

To live in the Borderlands means you...
