Read the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry." For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. To learn to read is to start down the
road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from
reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they
know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.
Which type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers that censors have unjust motives?
O an appeal to emotion
O an appeal to ethics
O an appeal to the author's character
an appeal to logic
