Read the excerpt from “take the tortillas out of your poetry.” in other cases, the censoring has been direct and brutal. on february 28, 1981 the morning newspaper carried a story about the burning of my novel, bless me, ultima. the book was banned from high school classes in bloomfield, new mexico, and a school board member was quoted as saying: “we took the books out and personally saw that they were burned.” which best describes the rhetorical appeal used to illustrate the destructive nature of censorship?

choices are:

factual evidence is used to appeal to the reader’s sense of logic

a painful event is described to appeal to the reader’s sympathy

the author’s novel is referenced to appeal to his credibility as a writer

a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader’s anger

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
