Anaya uses the word “tortillas “ as a symbol for

"If we leave aside our tortillas" Whit this Anaya wants to refer to the language, the story, the cultural values, the social values, our way of seeing things and the themes of our literature, the culture that we are representing so much will inevitably die.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

hope this !

f yes, , mark brainliest : )

have a good night.
