Read the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."
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.
Which best explains how Anaya's word choice establishes his voice in the excerpt?
