[10e] Name this ethnicity of the Chicana author of The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros.

ANSWER: Mexican-American [prompt on Hispanic or Latino or Latina or Latine or Latinx]

[10h] In The Labyrinth of Solitude’s second essay, Paz uses machismo and love as examples of Mexican identity conveyed by these title things. Paz later refers to fiestas and death as occasions where these things may not be used.

ANSWER: masks [accept “Mexican Masks”]
