NEED HELP ASAP 20 POINTS!!!! AND BRAINLIEST
After reading the poem “Birthright” what message does the author express?
We talked once of driving all the remote gravel roads,
writing from here and there, a little like Hugo, though
neither of us had read his poems yet. Today I am
wondering about those unwritten drafts. Could they
have predicted the severity of this drought, would
they have spoken to our own landscape, one of anger,
sympathy and remorse: You, the eventual heir to your
family’s homestead; and me, an Indian woman who
leases her land to white men made up of the same
storm and grit and hunger as your grandfather. What
if we had found a message in verse written from
some small town? — abandon this place. Would we
have listened and turned the car east or south and
left behind the land our families have lived on for
generations? But where could we travel and not long
for the ache of wind blowing over open land? And
how long could we have held ourselves back, away
from our need to feel claimed by a place we can only,
with our limited tongue, call home.
A. It is always better to travel dirt roads.
B. The events of the past have been difficult for her ancestors.
C. It is important to forget the past and create new memories.
D. The events of the past determine what job you will have in the future.
