Explanation:
"Looking at the stars always makes me dream. why, ask myself, shouldn't the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France"? In what ways does van Gogh make the stars accessible? In what wasy do the stars contrast with the village?
That does not keep me from having a terrible need of — shall I say the word — religion. Then I go out at night to paint the stars.
— Vincent Van Gogh in a letter to his brother
The town does not exist
except where one black-haired tree slips
up like a drowned woman into the hot sky.
The town is silent. The night boils with eleven stars.
Oh starry night! This is how
I want to die.
It moves. They are all alive.
Even the moon bulges in its orange irons
to push children, like a god, from its eye.
The old unseen serpent swallows up the stars.
Oh starry starry night! This is how
I want to die:
into that rushing beast of the night,
sucked up by that great dragon, to split
from my life with no flag,
no belly,
no cry.
I believe the correct answer to your question is letter A.

Explanation:
The whole essay " Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" is a story about censorship. In this excerpt, the writer is dedicated to explaining how different cultures gives us many benefits. He emphasizes how knowing, reading, watching, thinking about art and literature of the different cultures can make us more independent and free in our thoughts and believings.
The writer tells about censorship as a main disability to do things he wants. He wants that readers understand how the censorship is not good and move them from artistic and other forms and disable them to be in touch with any information. He wants to initiate them to raise their voices and tell what they think about.
