its hard for them to make the leap. we dont have an oprah, necessarily. oprah has really done great things in representing black women—its been fantastic. but for latinas and for mexican - american women, we dont have that person thats holding the torch and lighting the way for us. (8) so its very hard for other people to make a leap and say, yes, they can lead. i believe in them! theyre not going to transform our theater into one of social justice, which is the big fear. or, theyre not going to open the floodgates and transform our theaters to the point where we wont be able to see ourselves onstage. i often want to embrace people and say, if im the leader, i am not going to forget your voice. were going to share this resource, and this privilege we have of seeing stories onstage. but those in power still do not believe that. finding freedom in playwriting (9) playwriting is a new area for me. i feel quite liberated by it. i can say whatever i want to say. you write roles for women! its so exciting to see actresses do your work and feel like their talents are being used to the utmost. theyre able to play three - dimensional characters and theyre able to really investigate a human condition, or a human struggle. i strive for my plays to be as universal as they can be. so i would like more time to write, actually. what tone is expressed in paragraph 8? a. doubtful b. angry c. impassioned d. analytical
