The sample includes a passage on Mexican American literature, comparing it with Mexican literature in language use, cultural grounding, thematic focus, and how bicultural experiences shape characters and identity formation. It also includes an example question assessing the passage’s main point and answer choices reflecting different interpretations of transition, voice, reputation, and thematic emphasis.","LSAT*  \nPrepTest 50  \nSeptember 2006  \nTest ID: LL3050  \nA complete version of PrepTest 50 has been reproduced with the permission of Law School Admission Council, Inc.  \nPrepTest 50 © 2006 Law School Admission Council, Inc.  \nAll actual LSAT questions printed within this work are used with the permission of Law School Admission Council, Inc., Box 2000, Newton, PA 18940, the copyright owner.

SECTION IV  \n􀀂 Writing Sample Materials  \n1 -2- 1 1  \nSECTION I  \nTime—35 minutes  \n28 Questions  \nDirections: Each passage in this section is followed by a group of questions to be answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. For some of the questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer; that is, the response that most accurately and completely answers the question, and blacken the corresponding space on your answer sheet.  \nOne of the most prominent characteristics of the literature by United States citizens of Mexican descent is that it is frequently written in a combination of English and Spanish. By not limiting  \n(5) itself to one language, such writing resonates with its authors’ bicultural experiences. Their work is largely Mexican in its sensibility, its traditions, and its myths, but its immediate geographical setting is the United States. And though Mexican American literature is  \n(10) solidly grounded in Mexican culture, it distinguishes itself from Mexican literature in its content and concerns.  \nMany Mexican Americans are only a generation away from the mostly agrarian culture of their  \n(15) ancestors, and the work of most Mexican American writers shows evidence of heavy influence from this culture. Their novels are often simple in structure, and some of the common themes in these novels include the struggle to overcome the agricultural  \n(20) adversity that caused their families to emigrate, and a feeling of being distanced from the traditions of rural Mexico and yet striving to hold on to them. These themes coexist with ever-present images of the land, which symbolizes the values of the characters’  \n(25) culture, such as the spiritual and religious benefits of working the land.  \nMuch of Mexican writing, on the other hand, has been criticized for being dominated by the prominent literary establishment concentrated in Mexico City.  \n(30) Literary reputation and success in Mexico—includingthe attainment of publicly sponsored positions in the arts—are often bestowed or denied by this literary establishment. Moreover, the work of Mexican writers is often longer in form and marked by greater  \n(35) cosmopolitanism and interest in theoretical ideas and arguments than is Mexican American writing. Not surprisingly, the Mexican literary community views Mexican American literature as a variety of“regional”writing. But the apparent simplicity of  \n(40) what this community sees as parochial concerns belies the thematic richness of Mexican American writing.  \nThe work of Mexican American writers can be richly textured in its complex mixture of concerns;  \n(45) among other things, their work is distinguished by an overarching concern with the complexities of cultural transition.
