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.

Study: ‘High Incomes Don’t Bring You Happiness’
By Caitlin Kenney 2010
People often have conflicting ideas about whether or not money can buy happiness. Some believe that the lifestyle that money can offer is equivalent to happiness, while others fear that money can lead to greediness that can never be satisfied. In this study, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton seek the answer to this question. As you read, take notes on the different definitions of happiness that exist and how they are affected by money.
How much money do you think it would take to make you happy? Would an extra $10,000 a year do it or would it take a $100,000 salary bump to improve your mood?
A new study from Princeton economist Angus Deaton and psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggests that number depends on how you define happiness. The authors draw a distinction1 between emotional well-being, “the quality of a person’s everyday experience such as joy, fascination, anxiety, sadness, anger, and affection” and life evaluation “a person’s thoughts about his or her life (on a longer time scale).”
Their study of data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that while “life evaluations rise steadily with income,” emotional well being drops off at about $75,000 a year.
Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation, but does nothing for happiness, enjoyment, sadness, or stress. Both factors are important; it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.
According to the most recent census2 data, the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.
