Read the excerpt from “take the tortillas out of your poetry.” 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. which best explains how anaya’s text structure establishes his voice in the excerpt? anaya lists a series of facts about language to support his point of view. anaya explains how to apply for a fellowship to support his point of view. anaya compares his writing to a friend’s writing to support his point of view. anaya relates a story about a poet he knows to support his point of view.

Anaya relates a story about a poet he knows to support his point of view.

The correct answer is the following: option D. Anaya's text structure establishes his voice by Anaya relating to a story about a poet he knows to support his point of view. In the excerpt Anaya tells the story of one of his friends, who is also a poet, and who in fear of not getting his fellowship due to his use of language and cultural references, decides to take out his native language and slang from his work. Anaya tells this story to support his point of view, of how "taking the tortillas out of your poetry" means to remove the soul from your poems in order to make them more acceptable by the masses.

there are not supposed to be quotations (¨ ¨) from an mla citation in a paper. if there was an author then the author´s last name should be in the parentheses instead. if it is a book, the page numbers hould be listed after the last name.

let´s use the book ¨to kill a mockingbird¨ by harper lee as an example:

"atticus finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets¨ (lee 46).

hope this !
