Question

My friend had concluded that if he took his 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 the excerpts differ? Anaya structures his excerpt as an anecdote, while Nye structures her excerpt as a rhetorical appeal. Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation. Anaya structures his excerpt as an observation, while Nye structures her excerpt as an analysis. Anaya structures his excerpt as a rhetorical appeal, while Nye structures her excerpt as an anecdote.

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes the methods that these authors use to develop their text. In the first case, we learn that Anaya talks about how a friend believed that he would be more successful by not using his normal dialect in his writing. This is an analysis, as it explains a situation, and the conclusion that was reached after thinking about it. On the other hand, Nye presents an observation on a situation that occurred at a neighbourhood fair in Texas.
