Question
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 o 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 word choice is similar in both excerpts? each author uses non - english words and figurative language. each author uses technical words and neutral language. each author uses nonsense words and invented language. each author uses confrontational words and persuasive language.
- Analyze the first option: In the first excerpt, non - English words like "patois", "Spanish", "pachuco" are used, and figurative language (e.g., "took the tortillas out of his poetry" as a metaphor for removing culture) is present. In the second excerpt, non - English words like "Gorditas", "Oom - pah" are used, and figurative language (e.g., "the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head" could be seen as personification) is used.
- Analyze the second option: There are no technical words (words specific to a technical field like science or engineering jargon) in either excerpt, and the language is not neutral (it has emotional and cultural undertones).
- Analyze the third option: The words used are not nonsense or invented; they are real words related to culture and language.
- Analyze the fourth option: The language is not confrontational (no words meant to argue or oppose) and while it may have some persuasive elements, the main similarity is not this.
