Read the excerpt from "Speaking Arabic." 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 explains how Nye's text structure helps establish her voice in the excerpt? Nye relates a story about something she heard to emphasize the point she wants to make about heritage. Nye compares her experience to a stranger's experience to express her ideas about the importance of heritage. Nye lists food booths at a neighborhood fair in Texas to make a statement about diverse foods in America. Nye uses a cause-and-effect format to show how heritage can limit a person's cultural diversity.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The option which best explains how Nye's text structure helps establish her voice in the excerpt is:

A. Nye relates a story about something she heard to emphasize the point she wants to make about heritage.

Explanation:

In "Speaking Arabic," Naomi Shihab Nye discusses heritage. In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, she relates something she heard a man say once about wanting to have a heritage. Her purpose in relating his words is to address people's need to have a fixed, specific identity. Being of mixed ethnicities, Nye wants to show that diversity is also an identity, a heritage. That is why she also mentions the different food stores and the American trees. The man is surrounded by heritage but is blinded to it by his need to define and specify it.

Answer 2

The statement that most adequately elaborates the way in which the text structure assists Nye in setting up her voice would be:

A. Nye relates a story about something she heard to emphasize the point she wants to make about heritage.

 

In the given excerpt taken from "Speaking Arabic," the key focus that Nye lays upon is inheritance and legacy that one aspires to possess in his/her life. The detail regarding the man longing to possess heritage which displays his  yearning emotion of not having a familiar identity.However, Nye aims to counter this belief of people by showing that belonging to a hybrid or mixed cultures also provides one an identity or heritage of his own which is reflected through the details about 'distinct stores, trees in America, etc.' She further reflects this through a story that humans are mistaken in defining heritage or culture and they should rather associate it to everything that exists around them.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Should citizen journalists be a part of the newsmaking process? What are the pros/cons of adding photos and videos taken by regular citizens to the news cycle?

Answers

Answer: Citizen journalists should be a part of the newsmaking process, as long as their information and

data is accture and true. The pros to using a regular citizen's photos or videos is that they might

have footage of the event that the media doesn’t have or from a better/different angle. The cons

to this is that they are risking that the photo or video might not be accture or true.

Using a common person's images or videos has the advantage that they may contain footage of the event that the media does not have or from a better/different angle. The drawback to this is that they run the chance of the image or video being fake or untrue.

What is journalism?

Journalism is defined as the gathering, assembling, and dissemination of news and related commentary and feature materials through print and electronic media, including e-mail, blogs, webcasts, podcasts, social networking and social media sites, newspapers, magazines, and books, as well as through radio, movies, and television.

Creativity and unconventional thinking. Critical analysis and research prowess. Adaptable working style networking and interpersonal abilities. One advantage is a commitment to completing tasks by the deadline. While it's not always the case, a career in journalism can be risky. Finding the ideal opportunity in the competitive field of journalism might require perseverance and dedication. Some of the disadvantages are exposed.

Thus, using a common person's images or videos has the advantage that they may contain footage of the event that the media does not have or from a better/different angle. The drawback to this is that they run the chance of the image or video being fake or untrue.

The Gettysburg Address

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
