Is there suppose to be a list of statements to choose from? If so, I don’t see it.
Considering that:
- Apostrophe is the device used to address a third party in the text;
- An extended metaphor is used when the author draws a comparison between two unlike elements throughout a series of sentences or lines;
- Synecdoche is the device used when a part of something represents the whole;
- A rethorical question is the one that is asked but without expecting a real answer;
<u>Apostrophe </u>and <u>rethorical question</u> are the literarty devices present in this line.
Answer:
The two sentences that best show that the composer drew inspiration from literature are:
Bernstein's music was influenced by many pieces he had heard - and even read - before.
West Side Story was also influenced by the famous play Romeo and Juliet, written in the late sixteenth century by William Shakespeare.
Explanation:
The excerpt makes it clear that music composer Leonard Bernstein was a very talented man, capable of writing different styles of music.<u> His inspiration, however, did not come only from other music pieces. The passage makes it clear that literature was also an important source of inspiration for the composer. That is clearly stated in two sentences:</u>
Bernstein's music was influenced by many pieces he had heard - and even read - before.
West Side Story was also influenced by the famous play Romeo and Juliet, written in the late sixteenth century by William Shakespeare.
<u>We are told that what he read was also influential on his work, and that a specific famous play, "Romeo and Juliet", inspired Bernstein's most famous work - the music for "West Side Story".</u>
