The correct answer is: Each author uses figurative language.
Indeed, the first author uses figurative language (he took the tortillas out of his poetry) which is followed by a very explicit explanation, that the character in question “took the soul out of his poetry”. This use of figurative language is effective in eliciting an emotional response from the reader by the pathos of the premise, that removing foreign, Mexican Spanish words from the character’s poetry also removes its soul, in other words, its identity.
The second author also uses figurative language and there is a hint of irony in the description that immediately follows the dialogue. The immediate landscape is used to show the “heritage-deprived” person that he actually does have a heritage. In other words, he does not need to be a hyphenated American in order to have a heritage because it is right there “dangling over his head”.
The symbolism of the “tall American tree” is used to show how the speaker of these lines that America has its own heritage, which lies in its history, its melting pot and its territory and he cannot even see it.
1. The theme that the story "Balboa" by Sabina Murray expresses about Balboa is that of a young man of ambition, who embarked on a quest of discovery to acquire wealth and pearls.
- Balboa left Spain with his dog to explore America and eventually became the first European to site the Pacific Ocean.
- Balboa reasoned that he could win the favor of the Spanish king by acquiring territories for Spain.
2. The theme about the New World is that America presented an opportunity for the acquisition of enormous wealth.
- The New World was a virgin territory waiting for exploration.
- The original intention of Balboa, as he left Spain, was to seek gold in the New World.
3. The relationship of these two themes is connected by the potential wealth that Balboa could acquire in the New World.
- The acquisition of wealth will also enable him to move up the Spanish social ladder and become a man of power.
- Balboa correctly recognized that without venture there are no profits.
Thus, <em>Sabina Murray's "Balboa"</em> enables the reader to gain historical insight into the earlier attempts by Europeans to conquer America. It establishes the relationship that existed between Balboa, the Spaniards, and the Native Americans.
