Read the excerpts from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry” and “Speaking Arabic.”

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.

THE ANSWER IS B) - CORRECT ON EDG 2020

Answer:

B) - Anaya structures his text as an explanation, which gives it an authoritative tone, while Nye structures her text as an impression, which gives it a soothing tone.

Explanation:

Anaya is the author of “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry”. In this text, he analyzes how people can kill poetry, removing culture and language from a place. He speaks appropriately about this, affirming the importance of the cultural in poetic construction. He does this using a certainty tone, which reflects an authoritarian tone in the work.

Nye, the author of "Speaking Arabic", on the other hand, structured his text as an observation, a softer tone and not authoritarian, which allows the reader to reflect and draw his own conclusions about the narrative.
