What does "Becoming Joey" suggest about the acceptance of diversity in schools? Use specific evidence from the poem to support your answer.

Answer with Explanation:

"Becoming Joey" is a poem written by Paul C. Gorski. The poem suggests acceptance of diversity in schools by mentioning the "Mexican race" of Jose (who is an immigrant). This is evident in the 7th stanza, "spitting out his Mexican voice." This also shows that Jose has the freedom or the right to express himself in school.  

Although Jose didn't live a rich life, he was accepted in the same school were fairer or wealthier children learn. This is evident in the 4th stanza, "Jose pauses in the schoolyard where fairer kids laugh and scamper..."  

The last stanza shows how Jose incorporates the new American culture by being called "Joey." This clearly shows how he transitions from Mexican to American.

So, this explains the answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
