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.

Answer:
Although “Hills Like White Elephants” is primarily a conversation between the American man and his girlfriend, neither of the speakers truly communicates with the other, highlighting the rift between the two. Both talk, but neither listens or understands the other’s point of view. Frustrated and placating, the American man will say almost anything to convince his girlfriend to have the operation, which, although never mentioned by name, is understood to be an abortion. He tells her he loves her, for example, and that everything between them will go back to the way it used to be. The girl, meanwhile, waffles indecisively, at one point conceding that she’ll have the abortion just to shut him up. When the man still persists, she finally begs him to “please, please, please, please, please, please” stop talking, realizing the futility of their conversation. In fact, the girl’s nickname, “Jig,” subtly indicates that the two characters merely dance around each other and the issue at hand without ever saying anything meaningful. The girl’s inability to speak Spanish with the bartender, moreover, not only illustrates her dependence on the American but also the difficulty she has expressing herself to others.
