Read the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry." For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. To learn to read is to start down the
road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from

Which type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers that censors have unjust motives?
an appeal to emotion
an appeal to ethics
an appeal to the author's character
an appeal to logic
