An analysis involves examining and interpreting facts to understand deeply the causes behind this and draw a conclusion. This process can be seen in the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" by Rudolfo Anaya because the author examines the fact his friend stop using his native language when writing poetry and by analyzing this, Anaya gets to the conclusion his friend was not only taking out his native language but "he took the soul out of his poetry."
On the other hand, an observation focuses on reporting a phenomenon the author witnessed without interpreting or analyzing it. This can be seen in the excerpt from "Speaking Arabic" by Naomi Shihab Nye because the author only describes what she witnessed in, this can be seen in "I overheard a young man say to his friend" or "the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches". Thus, Anaya uses analysis, while Nye uses an observation.
