1) “Speak English or take your pesos down the road,” he snapped. ( paragraph 28)

2) Immediately, the crowd joined in, angrily berating the racist proprietor. (paragraph 34)

Answer 1

Certainly, here are responses to the questions:

1) The statement, "Speak English or take your pesos down the road," is an example of someone demanding that another person speak English or leave, likely because they were speaking another language or using a foreign currency (pesos). It reflects a language or cultural bias.

2) In paragraph 34, the crowd immediately joined in and started berating the racist proprietor angrily. They expressed their disagreement with the proprietor's comments, asserting that America is a melting pot and that diversity is welcomed, implying that the proprietor should consider leaving if they couldn't embrace this diversity.
