A Formidable Hunter I remember well the great horned owl that sat on the windowsill of my kindergarten classroom. It was stuffed, of course, but quite imposing nonetheless. This grand specimen was nearly two feet long — with brown, white and rusty red feathers. Its yellow eyes were large and perfectly round, giving it a wise look. Its talons were thick and sharp, and on its brow two curved feathers stuck up, looking just like two horns. I got the impression that this bird was a great hunter.

Of the 145 species of owl, the great horned is the largest. Owls live in most parts of the world, ranging from tropical to subarctic climates. The elf owl is the smallest at only six inches, but no matter what their size, all owls are good hunters. They hunt under cover of night, so their prey can't see them. Unlike other birds, owls have large, soft feathers that allow them to fly without making noise, which also makes them good predators. Farmers like owls because they keep pests such as mice, voles, rats and even rabbits from their crops and stores of grain. And they have hearty appetites. Henry Williamson, a farmer in England, had eleven barn owls on his farm. He kept careful watch on their hunting habits and was astounded to find that together they ate 150 mice each night! While farmers may be grateful to owls, owners of cats and small dogs should beware: owls have been known to pluck up small pets that unknowingly wander into the birds' hunting zones.

A.

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. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
