Read the excerpts from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry” and “Speaking Arabic.” My friend had concluded that if he took hi

s language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of Spanish, English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. Which best states how the structures of both excerpts engage the reader? They employ statistical evidence. They employ figurative language. They employ supporting quotes. They employ an authoritative tone.

Answer:

5 ways to over come drug addiction.

all 5 are best done together and remember over coming drug abuse is a hard process, You will need lots of SUPPORT,from the people that love you. TALK, about how you are feeling and why you are feeling that way, and know its okay to not feel okay, if you are feeling the urge to use TALK about it and let someone help you. STAY STRONG, it takes a very strong person to stop using because its so hard on your mind and body, but you have to remember to stay strong. SELF LOVE is also a big part of it, you have to give yourself that love and show yourself that you care about yourself, if you relay on someone else to give you that love then you might get hurt thats why its better if you show yourself love before you give it to other people.
