Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God. Mrs. Turner, like all other believers had built an altar to the unattainable

—Caucasian characteristics for all. Her god would smite her, would hurl her from pinnacles and lose her in deserts, but she would not forsake his altars. Behind her crude words was a belief that somehow she and others through worship could attain her paradise—a heaven of straighthaired, thin-lipped, high-nose boned white seraphs. How does Zora Neale Hurston use Mrs. Turner to present a cultural criticism?

<em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em> is the best known novel of author Zora Neale Hurston and it was published in 1937.

This excerpt is a critique of the prevailing racial attitudes of the time. Mrs. Turner, a Christian believer, would equate everything that was godly and sacred with caucasian characteristics, including the major characters in the Bible. In practice, this not only meant that black features were seen as less desirable and less "holy," but it also reminds us of the fact that slavery and racism were often justified and legitimized through religion.

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 <em>"took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality . . . took the soul out of his poetry." </em>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 <em>"tall America trees"</em> while in a Texas fair in between the <em>"German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth".</em> The excerpt is an observation of what she saw at that time and place.

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

Burka [1]

Answer:

C. Write whatever your thoughts are in no particular order.

Explanation:

Free- writing is the manner or form of writing where the writer or author is free to write whatever he/ she wants. The topic, pattern, or anything related t the work is all dependent on the author and is not dictated by any form of guidelines or set of rules to be followed. The freedom to write his thoughts, in whatever pattern and order he wants, and even maybe dealing with personal or fictional stories, are all part of what the free writing entails. The very word "free writing" is proof of the form of writing that it is about. Everything is all up to the one who is to write the work, with no form or rule to be followed or adopted.
