Answer 1

She sees it as her duty to give voice to the continents and to redefine the nature of America and what makes us each American

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of the article, "The Four Hundred Year Old Woman", explained what life has been like with her having to move from her native India to America. She noted that the transition had transformed her but she also was making efforts to transform the American nation. From her writeup, she believed that Americans had a way they viewed immigrants from the third world countries, but when they displayed traits and showed through their actions that America has transformed them, they were met with surprise.

Her goal however was to redefine the nature of America and what made people American. This she believed would be achieved through her positive contributions to America.
