Read the following excerpt from the introduction to “A Quilt of a Country.” Why does Quindlen offer this contradiction about the

“ideal” of America and its “reality”? How does she develop her central idea from this point?
America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better than someone. . . . Out of many, one. That is the ideal. . . .The reality is often quite different, a great national striving consisting frequently of failure. Many of the oft-told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are stories not of tolerance, but of bigotry.

Read the excerpt from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The option that best describes how Anaya effectively uses rhetoric in the excerpt to convince readers that his conclusion is justified is:

B) Anaya establishes his credibility as a published Chicano author by discussing his career experience.

Explanation:

Rhetoric concerns the use of devices and strategies to convince the audience of your opinion or perspective. A commonly efficient way to do so is by establishing your own credibility concerning the subject. That is what Anaya is doing in this excerpt. He gets to talk about language and culture in American literature, and be taken seriously while doing it, due to his credibility as a published Chicano author. His life and career are devoted and dependent on this subject, which gives him some sort of authority to discuss it.

Tybalt is portrayed as a villain in the play, and yet his death is not a positive event. Why is Tybalt’s death bad for Romeo and
SashulF [63]
Well.... Tybalt is Juliet's cousin. Although he is mischievous and a bit of a rogue, he is still well-loved by Juliet and the rest of her family (the entire Caulet clan).
Romeo is now a murderer (forcing him into a rapid departure), and a murderer of a member of Juliet's family to boot! If things weren't already against him in blood alone, this act would certainly sour any advancements he could have possibly made in asking Juliet's father for her had in marriage.
