Select the three advantages of print media.

A. Print media messages are everywhere

B. Print media is inexpensive to produce.

C. Print media can be distributed to a specific population.

D. Print media can be retained and read multiple times, increasing the effectiveness.

E. Print media is the fastest way to distribute a message.

Answers

Answer: I think C, D, A would be the most reasonable answers to this question, but feel free to disagree.

Explanation: Here's how I used the process of elimination to find your answers.

A. Printed media is everywhere, although technology has become more popular. I'd say that this is an advantage, as the info on the media will be spread to many people.

B. Print media does cost a lot to produce when it comes to money and its effects on the environment. This is not an advantage to me.

C. People can definitely get (retain) printed media and read as much as they'd like. This would likely help with increasing the effectiveness of its message(s), so this is an advantage.

D. Print media is arguably not as fast as, say, a text message or email. This is not much of an advantage to me.

I hope that my answer(s) help you out somehow! :)

Many works of literature feature an unreliable narrator: they contain first-person accounts narrated by someone whose credibility or perspective is eventually thrown into question.

Either from your own reading or from the list below, choose a longer work of literary merit in which the narrator's reliability is revealed to be in question. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze how the revelation of the narrator's questionable reliability contributes to an interpretation of the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot.

In your response you should do the following:
Respond to the prompt with a thesis that presents an interpretation and may establish a line of reasoning.
Select and use evidence to develop and support your line of reasoning.
Explain the relationship between the evidence and your thesis.

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 structure of each excerpt supports a different tone?
a) Anaya structures his text as an anecdote, which gives it a humorous tone, while Nye structures her text as a counterclaim, which gives it a defensive tone.
b) Anaya structures his text as an explanation, which gives it an authoritative tone, while Nye structures her text as an impression, which gives it a soothing tone.
c) Anaya structures his text as a theory, which gives it an academic tone, while Nye structures her text as a list, which gives it an unemotional tone.
d) Anaya structures his text as a news report, which gives it a neutral tone, while Nye structures her text as a critique, which gives it a judgmental tone.

Answers

Answer: A: Each incorporates non-English words.

Anaya structures his text as an explanation, which gives it an authoritative tone, while Nye structures her text as an impression, which gives it a soothing tone.

The literary tone is a concept that refers to the attitude of the narrator of a text and his intention to communicate a message in a certain way. In these two texts, the tone is different.

Rudolfo Anaya's text "Take The Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" has an authoritative tone because the author explains the importance of appreciating one's cultural heritage and to do this he provides a formal explanation through an example "My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance"

Nye's text "Speaking Arabic" has a soothing or calming tone because the author includes a personal opinion or impression about someone how does not realize he has an extensive cultural heritage and she does this in a comforting way "And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches".

In conclusion, Anaya's text has an authoritative tone and Nye's text has a soothing tone.
