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 structural element is used in the excerpt by Anaya but not in the excerpt by Nye?

Answer 1

D. logos

In his passage, Anaya mentions the stream of logic that his friend went through when he was trying to figure out the best way to improve his chances of getting a fellowship. In Nye's passage, it relies more heavily on imagery and emotion rather than any logical progression of thought.
