My mother doesn't understand. Not that I expected she would. When I told her the news, all she said was "Ah, the face that launched a thousand ships." She didn't even look up from her book. Later, at dinner, she apologized for
quoting Marlowe. Marlowe is our cat.
At bedtime I told my mother, "You should have seen the way Helen acted at school. It was disgusting, flirting with the
boys.
Mom tucked the sheets up close around my chin, so that only my head was showing, my body covered mummy style.
"Vita," she said, "it sounds like she's perfect for the part."

a. Because she didn't want Vita to do the play
b. Helen's flirtatiousness and attention to boys was just like Helen of Troy
Because her mom thinks Helen is more beautiful than Vita

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.
