Unfortunately I only have time to answer the first one. Hope it helps!
Answer: 1) I would write a poem. Writing a poem is a powerful way of self expression that can help connect with a reader and express myself in words and sentences which have a deep meaning for me. I think that would be important, especially if I were to tell you what it was like growing up in America. I can convey feelings and emotions in a way in which an essay or short story could not.
