Read It!
Kavya Shivashankar of Olathe, Kansas, can spell words that most people cannot or would not ever use in a
sentence. Laodicean was the final word that earned the eighth grader the Scripps National Spelling Bee
championship in 2009. She outlasted 10 other finalists-all exceptional spellers—to claim victory. It was Kavya's
fourth attempt to win the contest after being a finalist in the co
ntest in 2006, 2007, and 2008, finishing in tenth,
eighth, and fourth places, respectively.

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.
