Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.” Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand.

Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . . I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one. Which choice best describes the purpose of this text? A.to persuade readers to oppose the censorship of literature B.to inform readers about censorship in a specific country C. to entertain readers with stories about censorship D. to motivate readers to speak out against censorship

the passage it trying to create a welcoming image to the readers mind. its trying to make you see how similar and beneficial both are and that creates a sort of "welcoming" image. It creates a goal of acceptance at first... then the second they start to talk about censorship it becomes negative and unwanting. it tries to turn you away from the idea of it, it explains how useful and unnecessary it is.

therefore, the most likely option would indeed be A- to persuade readers to oppose the censorship of literature

1. How would you describe the relationship between John and Elizabeth Proctor
Flauer [41]

Answer and Explanation:

1. I believe you are referring to scene 1 of Act II of "The Crucible". So, in this scene, John and Elizabeth's relationship can be described as cold and unstable. Elizabeth already knows that John committed adultery with Abigail and even though he spent 7 months trying to redeem himself for it, Elizabeth is unable to diminish the coldness and distance she has put in the relationship, which shows that she still feels a lot of hurt about what It happened.

2. This scene needs to pass a mood of coldness, discomfort and distance, to allow the audience to feel the same thing that the couple is feeling. However, when they start discussing this mood, they should change to a mood of anger and intolerance.

3. In this scene, I sympathize more with Elizabeth, as it is difficult to forget a betrayal by someone you trust a lot, as she trusted John. Furthermore, she is willing to deal with the shame of having been betrayed, as long as it stops the wave of hysteria and murder that Abigail is provoking. That's because Abigail started to create chaos in Salem because John stopped having an affair with her and Elizabeth wants John to tell the truth about the betrayal in Salem so that everyone knows that Abigail is lying.

4. Elizabeth is correct in wanting to end the accusations of witchcraft and the executions of innocent people in Salem, even if it damages her family's reputation and devalues her as a wife. John, on the other hand, is right to be upset about not receiving his wife's real forgiveness, as he did everything he could to be forgiven.

fear is both good and bad according to the situation (the context). Fear is good when (say) you're a civilian in a heavy combat zone and the fear continues to keep you alive by making you run away from the dangers.
