Summarizing an author's claim
quick
what is the best summary of the author's claim?
o rock lyrics can be like poetry.
o bob dylan was a revolutionary.
o musicians deserve nobel prizes.
o more americans deserve nobel prizes.
“dylan was a revolutionary," bruce springsteen said in
his 1988 speech inducting dylan into the rock and roll
hall of fame. "the way that elvis freed your body, bob
freed your mind. early masterpieces such as “a hard
rain's a-gonna fall" and visions of johanna" and "like
a rolling stone” fueled a debate: are rock lyrics poetry?
the answer must be yes, because on thursday, dylan was
awarded the highest honor for a writer: the nobel prize in
literature. the swedish academy, in making him the first
american winner since novelist toni morrison in 1993,
cited him for "having created new poetic expressions
within the great american song tradition."
-"dylan's nobel prize settles debate:
rock lyrics are poetry,"
