Question 7 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

Which best contrasts the way language is used in My Story and "On the Bus with Rosa Parks"?

Answer
A
The memoir uses everyday language; the poem uses literary language.
B
The memoir uses poetic language; the poem uses dialogue.
C
The memoir uses symbolic language; the poem uses legal language.
D
The memoir uses short sentences; the poem uses long sentences.

Explanation

A memoir typically recounts real experiences in a direct, conversational way, and My Story uses everyday language to tell events from the narrator’s life. “On the Bus with Rosa Parks” is a poem, so it uses more crafted, literary language to create images and express ideas. The best contrast is everyday language in the memoir versus literary language in the poem.
