Read the excerpt from rudolfo anaya’s essay “take the tortillas out of your poetry.”

tortillas and poetry. they go hand in hand. books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. .

i don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. i travel to foreign countries, and i know more about myself as i learn more about my fellow human beings. censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.

which phrase from the excerpt best the reader identify the author’s purpose?
“i know more about myself as i learn more about my fellow human beings”
“i don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods”
“many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world”
“we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures”

“we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures” This phrase identifies the author's purpose. Amaya's aim is to persuade the reader to speak out against censorship. He thinks that if the reader appreciates pieces of art from round the world, he/ she will get free. Therefore, the reader will notice the damage done by censorship. The writer has used the inclusive "we" in this phrase; the readers and he have been included. This is persuasive.

These phrases are wrong:

-“I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human being". The writer is talking about his experience.

-“I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods” The writer is justifying his argument. People like different foods in the same way they like different books.

-“many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world”. This is an example of what people tend to do.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

joe leydon

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.
