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.

The correct answer is: Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.

Explanation:

Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, where he is trying to analyze a relationship between language and culture and poetry. In his excerpt, Anaya uses analysis to explain how his friend should make a rich mixture of Spanish, English, pachuco, and street talk to create his verses, by adding different cultural elements that will make his poetry more refined and authentic.  

On the other hand, Nye structures her excerpt as an observation, where she tries to explain the importance of cultural and linguistic heritage. Therefore, we could say that observation is the main tool that she uses to highlight the importance of heritage.

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

Explanation:

The first excerpt is an analysis. It conveys more than just the fact the poet has taken his language and culture out of his poetry. It also describes the consequences the poet's decision might have on his poetry's quality, "In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry."

The second excerpt is only an observation. Nye observed a man complaining to a friend about his lack of heritage, all the while, not knowing that his cultural heritage was present right over his head. Nye does not describe where the information stemmed from or what consequences it might have.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
