First Person.Explanation:The poem "In my mind" by Kate Engelbert employs the first-person point of view. The first person point of view is usually referred to as the author's or poet's point of view. This point of view is often witnessed in autobiographical writing or narrative writing. This is determined by the use of the pronoun "I" and "me" in the poem as we can see in the poem that accomplishes the first person point of view. For example:"In my mind""I can hear the laughter"

The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity. The poem is written in first person. The speaker talks about her own personal experiences and uses the pronoun "I" throughout the poem. The poem is about her struggle with cultural identity. She talks about her culture as a US Puerto Rican Jew and a Carribean. She identifies other cultures that have influenced her such as Africa and Europe, but states that she is not African or European. This poem is an exploration of cultural identity.
The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity. Explanation:According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question: The third-person point of view allows her to be an objective observer of cultural conflicts. The third-person point of view allows her to look at culture from a historical perspective. The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity. The first-person point of view allows her to share personal experiences of racism in America.In the poem "Child of the Americas," the speaker talks about the idea of identity and cultural diversity. We learn that the speaker feels that she was born "at a crossroads," as she embodies many different experiences of America. The speaker talks about herself, and her use of first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of the identity she is describing.
