Carrying my Heritage. by A. Gautam

"The tortoise said that trouble is its own; that's why it carries trouble on its back."

An Igbo Proverb



Mama tells me stories from long ago

The words she carried in her mouth

From her mother who heard it

Perhaps, from the first mother ever

She doesn't wear a mask to dance

But her face bears traces of our past

I ask her for another story

About the thirteen months in our calendar

"Our time is our own, son," she says.

"Tomorrows are carried in yesterdays."

Her closed eyes take me to my land

I am an Igbo again,

Perfectly happy under the open sky

Content underneath my skin

Stories echoing in my blood

Speak of my great grandmother

Beyond the things I see and I don't

Bigger than the pigments and fragments

Of my immigrant identity,

I am whole again, home again.



Based on this poem, the Igbo people

MLA uses alphabetical order to sort citations, therefore Cayman would be first on this page. Option B is correct.

What are MLA guidelines?

In-Text Citations: MLA requires in-text citations to give credit to sources that you use in your paper. The citation should include the author's last name and the page number where the information can be found.

Works Cited Page: At the end of your paper, you should include a Works Cited page that lists all the sources you used in alphabetical order by the author's last name.

Formatting: MLA format requires double-spaced text with a legible font, such as Times New Roman, in 12-point font size.

Title Page: MLA does not typically require a separate title page.

Additional Guidelines: MLA has specific guidelines for citing sources such as anthologies, translations, and government documents.

Thus, option B is correct.
