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.
