Answer:

The English teacher John Keating's theme of "carpe diem" for the students encourages Knox Overstreet to actually approach Chris Noel, a girl he loves.

Explanation:

In the story "Dead Poets Society" by Nancy H. Kleinbaum, the new English teacher John Keating inspires his students to "seize the day"and make their lives extraordinary. The purpose of this is to make them enjoy their lives as students and be happy with how their lives are spent.

Knox Overstreet is one of his students who had fallen in love with a girl named Chris Noel. But she turned out to be the girlfriend of the school's football player Chat Danburry, a family friend. Conflicted about his feelings and his family ties, he did not do anything about his feelings. But with the new teacher's encouragement and teachings, he decided to make a go for it without really thinking of others. Putting himself first, he touched Chris's breasts under drunkenness, saying that he's "seizing the day".

Read the excerpts from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry," and "Speaking Arabic."

defon

Answer:

O Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.

Explanation:

In the first excerpt, Rudolfo Anaya presents a case of his friend who decided to 'remove' his heritage, his Latin background just to get accepted for a scholarship. And in this act, Anaya observes that his friend "took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality . . . took the soul out of his poetry." This shows his analysis of what he saw and thinks is happening, giving his opinion.

On the other hand, Naomi Shihab Nye structures "Speaking Arabic" as an observation of what she saw. She describes the young man's declaration of wanting a heritage among the "tall America trees" while in a Texas fair in between the "German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth". The excerpt is an observation of what she saw at that time and place.

Thus, the correct answer is that Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis while Nye's is an observation.
