The sun is the most well known star at least among us Earthlings. Our sun is about 150,000,000 km (93,000,000 miles from the earth. However, the next closest star to our solar system is the triple—star Proxima Centauri. It is can you believe it? about 49 trillion km 25 trillion miles from Earth. In terms of the speed of light the standard used by astronomers to measure distance this triple—star is 4.29 light years distant. Light from the star takes as you might guess 4.29 years to reach Earth.

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.
