The text varies syntax by using a mix of sentence structures, including complex sentences and shorter, impactful statements. For example, it incorporates list-like constructions ("the stories, struggles, and triumphs of Native Americans, women, and the Earth") to create rhythm and flow. The passage also employs rhetorical questions ("Isn't it remarkable how some authors can transport us into a world we would otherwise never explore?") to engage the reader and provoke thought. This combination of varied sentence lengths and structures enhances the overall expressiveness and depth of the passage.

overlooked in mainstream literature. She writes about her
experiences as a woman. Some say she speaks for the earth.

world we would otherwise never explore?
