Read the passage and write a one-paragraph response of at least three to five sentences. provide specific examples to support your answer. it often happens that one or another of my friends stops before a red chalk drawing in my study and asks me where i ever found so lovely a creature. i have never told the story of that picture to any one, and the beautiful woman on the wall, until yesterday, in all these twenty years has spoken to no one but me. yesterday a young painter, a countryman of mine, came to consult me on a matter of business, and upon seeing my drawing of alexandra ebbling, straightway forgot his errand. he examined the date upon the sketch and asked me, very earnestly, if i could tell him whether the lady were still living. when i answered him, he stepped back from the picture and said slowly: "so long ago? she must have been very young. was she happy? " "as to that, who can say-about any one of us? " i replied. "out of all that is supposed to make for happiness, she had very little." we returned to the object of his visit, but when he bade me goodbye at the door his troubled gaze again went back to the drawing, and it was only by turning sharply about that he took his eyes away from her. i went back to my study fire, and as the rain kept away less impetuous visitors, i had a long time in which to think of mrs. ebbling. i even got out the little box she gave me, which i had not opened for years, and when mrs. hemway brought my tea i had barely time to close the lid and defeat her disapproving gaze. what inferences can you make about this story, based on the happening hints?

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 both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
