• A. America is in the Heart
• B. The Jungle
• C. Black Boy
• D. The Poisonwood Bible

Answer: (A)

America Is in the Heart is the book that best captures Carlos Bulosan’s life in his own words. This autobiography chronicles his journeys as a Filipino immigrant in the United States, the hardships of poverty and discrimination, and his involvement with workers’ struggles during the Depression. The title itself signals a deep search for belonging and a critique of American society from a marginalized perspective, which is why this memoir is celebrated as Bulosan’s most famous work. The other titles come from different authors and genres: The Jungle is a novel about exploitation in a meatpacking plant, Black Boy is Richard Wright’s memoir about growing up in the Jim Crow South, and The Poisonwood Bible is a novel by Barbara Kingsolver about a missionary family in Congo.
