Final answer:
A comparison of the approach to a shared theme of immigration in 'The New Colossus' and 'Esperanza Rising'
Step-by-step explanation:
Comparison of 'The New Colossus' and 'Esperanza Rising'
Both 'The New Colossus' and 'Esperanza Rising' explore the theme of immigration. In 'The New Colossus,' Emma Lazarus portrays the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of hope and opportunity for immigrants coming to America. In 'Esperanza Rising,' Pam Muñoz Ryan tells the story of a young Mexican girl who immigrates to the United States during the Great Depression. While both texts address the challenges faced by immigrants, 'The New Colossus' focuses more on the American Dream and the ideals of liberty, while 'Esperanza Rising' delves into the personal journey and growth of the main character.'
