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 phrase from the excerpt best uses persuasion? “about the art and literature of the different cultures” “I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself” “Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us” “just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas”

Persuasion is the action or process of persuading someone to do or believe something. In the above passage, the writer is persuading his readers by his own experience to believe that we can know ourselves more by reading literature from other cultures.

How does the poet use strong verbs to create rhythm and develop the meaning of the poem? Cite specific examples in your response
Zepler [3.9K]

--This is about 105 words

The poet uses strong verbs to create rhythm and to develop the meaning of the poem. They use alliteration. They use it in one-syllable words such as "burn, break, blow." This creates a kind of beat and rhythm in the poem. It also emphasizes the meaning of those words. There was also a lot of "me" in the sonnet. In the line, "Your viceroy in me, me should defend, uses repetition in "me" to emphasize it and to prove a good flow into the next line. This is only a couple of ways in which poets can create rhythm and develop meaning in their poems.

According to postman,what is the danger of using tv as a "castle-in-the-air"?
polet [3.4K]
The term "castle-in-the-air" is actually a term that means something that is imaginary and extravagant and most likely are not realized or carried out. In other words, this is similar to the term "daydream". When we use TV as <span>"castle-in-the-air", the danger for this is that people tend to view something as a reality instead of just accepting it as fantasy. Hope this helps.</span>
