Question

Read the excerpt from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.” 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. Which best explains how Anaya’s tone establishes his voice in the excerpt? Anaya’s tone is humorous, which reflects his desire to highlight the topic. Anaya’s tone is easy-going, which reflects his lack of concern about the topic. Anaya’s tone is passionate, which reflects his strong feelings about the topic. Anaya’s tone is joyful, which reflects his determination to celebrate the topic.

Answer 1

Tone is the author’s attitude toward the piece. Voice is the author’s individual style, which means the question is asking what is it about the author’s attitude that tells us his style of writing?  There certainly isn’t any joke telling, and he has much concern over the topic, so it isn’t easygoing.  While there is no distain, there is no joy either. The third answer (passionate tone) is the best answer.

Answer 2

The text shows that Anaya's tone is passionate, which reflects her strong feelings on the matter, as option C shows.

What is the tone of a text?

• It is the sentiment presented by the text.
• It is the emotion conveyed by the author to the reader.

By reading the text above, we can see how the narrator is passionate about the particularities of the languages and texts that this language composes. The narrator sees these particularities as the soul of the text and language, for this reason, he worries when people are disinterested in this and kills the text by ignoring its particularities.
