Question

why did the author choose to use the words of the star - spangled banner throughout the poem?
a to symbolize how the experience of latinos in the united states has drastically changed throughout its history
b to demonstrate the value of the role that music and poetry have played in the development of american culture
c to build a connection with the ideals of the united states, while also reinventing key lines that illustrate feelings of isolation and division from them
d to develop an understanding of the songs true meaning, while also suggesting that some lines should be rewritten to honor new ideals in the united states

Explanation:

The Star - Spangled Banner is a symbol of the United States. By using its words in a poem, an author can connect to American ideals. Reinventing key lines can show a sense of isolation or division from those ideals. Option A is not about the use of the song's words specifically for Latino experience change. Option B focuses more on music and poetry in general rather than the use of this particular song's words. Option D about rewriting lines to honor new ideas is not the main reason for using the words throughout the poem.

Answer:

C. to build a connection with the ideals of the United States, while also reinventing key lines that illustrate feelings of isolation and division from them
