The author illustrates the connection between Guthrie's life and his music by explaining that
Read the excerpt from This Land Was Made for You and
Me.
Just after New Year's Day in 1940, Woody set off on one
of his unannounced road trips. He left his wife and three
kids in a shack in Texas and headed for New York City.
It was a long, cold trip in the dead of winter, and every
time he stopped in a diner he heard Irving Berlin's lush,
sentimental song, "God Bless America," on the jukebox,
It was exactly the kind of song Woody couldn't stand,
romanticizing America, telling people not to worry, that
God would take care of everything.
O Guthrie was not motivated to write music about his
family or Texas.
O the song "God Bless America" convinced Guthrie that
his family would be fine without him.
O the message Guthrie heard in "God Bless America"
contrasted with what he was going through.
O Guthrie did not worry about things and did not write
songs about the concept of worry.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
