Read the excerpt from “how i learned english.” it was in an empty lot ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle. bill corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket, chuck keller, fat even as a boy, was on first, his t-shirt riding up over his gut, ron o’neill, jim, dennis, were talking it up in the field, a blue sky above them tipped with cirrus. and there i was, just off the plane and plopped in the middle of williamsport, pa. and a neighborhood game, unnatural and without any moves, my notions of baseball and america growing fuzzier each time i whiffed. which detail from this excerpt readers determine that the poem is written from a first-person point of view? the description of the speaker as “unnatural” the description of the boys “talking it up” the use of the words “i” and “my” the use of the words “his” and “them”

The answer is: the use of the words “I” and “my”

The first-person point of view allows readers to identify with the speaker and get to know his deepest feelings, thoughts ad motifs. It makes use of words like I, me, mine and my.

explanation:

beginner

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
