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 best states how the structures of the excerpts differ?
1 anaya structures his excerpt as an anecdote, while nye structures her excerpt as a rhetorical appeal.
2 anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while nye structures her excerpt as an observation.
3 anaya structures his excerpt as an observation, while nye structures her excerpt as an analysis.
4 anaya structures his excerpt as a rhetorical appeal, while nye structures her excerpt as an anecdote.

The correct answer is: 4 Anaya structures his excerpt as a rhetorical appeal, while Nye structures her excerpt as an anecdote.

Indeed, Anaya’s excerpt is a mode of persuasion that uses figurative language and Mexican Spanish words in order to provoke an emotional response from the reader by the use of pathos. This is confirmed by the explicit response of the metaphor on tortillas, that taking them out of the poetry is akin to removing the poetry’s soul.

Nye’s excerpt on the other hand, uses an anecdote, an account of a particular event and its figurative symbolism to convey a particular conclusion. Indeed, there is a hint of irony in the description that immediately follows the dialogue. The immediate landscape is used to show the “heritage-deprived” person that he actually does have a heritage. In other words, he does not need to be a hyphenated American in order to have a heritage because it is right there “dangling over his head”.

The symbolism of the “tall American tree” is used to show how the speaker of these lines that America has its own heritage, which lies in its history, its melting pot and its territory and he cannot even see it.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
