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 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.
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 structures of the excerpts differ?
Anaya structures his excerpt as an anecdote, while Nye structures her excerpt as a rhetorical appeal
Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation
Anaya structures his excerpt as an observation, while Nye structures her excerpt as an analysis.
Anaya structures his excerpt as a rhetorical appeal, while Nye structures her excerpt as an anecdote

Answer 1

The sentence that best states how the structures of the excerpts differ is:

Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anaya sees in deep how the cultural elements in writing can be considered a characteristic aspect of each author and how taking them away can severely affect the emotion and intention of the writing, while Nye sees the cultural characteristics inside of an anecdote of lacking those traits or perhaps just having the feeling of the lacking of them.
