Question

read the excerpt from \take the tortillas out of your poetry.\

i do not believe we should have to leave out the crucial elements of our language and culture to contribute to american literature, but, unfortunately, this is a conclusion i am forced to reach. i have been writing for a quarter century, and have been a published author for eighteen years. as a writer, i was part of the chicano movement which created a new literature in this country.

which type of rhetoric is used most in the excerpt to convince readers that anayas conclusion is accurate?

an appeal based on emotion
an appeal based on logic
an appeal based on the author’s character
an appeal based on the author’s feelings

Explanation:

The author uses their credentials (writing for a quarter century, published for eighteen years, part of the Chicano Movement) to establish credibility, which is an appeal based on the author’s character (ethos). Emotional appeal would focus on feelings, logical on facts/reasoning, and feelings - based is similar to emotional. Here, the author’s experience/character is used.

Answer:

an appeal based on the author’s character
