Answer 1

1. To Inform the reader.

2. They mention separations and divisions among groups (blacks, whites, gays, straights, Pole, Chinese) ** I say this bec They are not attempting to make you agree with them AND the text is not trying to entertain you**

3. The analogy that stuck out the most to me was "the left side of the hyphen-African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American- would overwhelm the right"

Step-by-step explanation:

The author's basically trying to give us information and insights rather than just entertain us or convince us of something.

Here are a few points that show why the author is mainly trying to inform: They mention how after the cold war, people worried that without a common enemy, the country might split apart AND The author talks about how different groups like blacks, whites, gays, and others are all mixed together with their differences in the US.

There's this part where the author talks about the "left side of the hyphen," comparing it to people's cultural backgrounds like being African-American, Mexican-American, or Irish-American. It's like saying one part of the hyphenated identity might become more important than the other.
