Read the following excerpt from julia ortiz cofer's poem "el olvido
it is a dangerous thing
to forget the climate of your birthplace,
to choke out the voices of dead relatives
when in dreams they call you
by your secret name.
which statement best expresses cofer's point?
although the united states has much to offer it is a very dangerous place.
immigrants must remember and preserve their own native cultures.
the voices of dead relatives may enter a person's dreams at night.
dead relatives will call people by secret names that no one else knows.
