Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. migrations of people away from homelands
2. displacement of ethnic neighborhoods
3. economic status

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Cliff Dwellers identifies the lower class by the specific place its members inhabit, metaphorically on the precipice of circumstances. It assumes that where one lives determines one's condition.
2. A Day in June refers only to time and season rather than to people, their origins, or their circumstances. Other than evoking an association with summer, the title leaves open any assumptions about the people depicted.
