Interview with Leonard Bernstein
Time Magazine has the honor of interviewing the Person of the Year, Leonard Bernstein! Leonard Bernstein is a legend in the music realm. Born into a Jewish family, he grew up with a passion for music. From a windup Victrola to the composer of musical novelties such as Candide, and Jeremiah. I’m Elizabeth Muh, here to interview Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood. Today, December 10, 1980, shortly after you were rewarded with the Kennedy Center Honor for Lifetime of Contributions to American Culture through the Performing Arts, let’s see how it all unfolded.
EM: So glad to have you here, Leonard Bernstein! Let’s start. Music is your life! How did it all start?
LB: It all started with a piano. When we were over at my parent’s friend’s house, they had a piano they would play. Whenever they did, my two-year-old self would press his ear to the closed door and cry, “Moynik! Moynik!”, “Music! Music!”. Same with the wind-up Victrola. I would howl, tears streaming down, thirsting for the jingles of the Victrola. I had already become crazy in love with music.
EM: As a child, you spent many summers in Sharon, your summer home. How would you spend your time there?
LB: I had the most fun there! Summers at Sharon were something out of fairytales. My friends and I put on productions of plays and operas, such as Carmen, The Mikado, H.M.S Pinafore, and Aida. The summer we did Carmen we did it in drag. I played Carmen, red wig, mantilla, chiffon dress and all. The dresses were so see-through, my underwear was showing! (laughs good-naturedly) For H.M.S Pinafore operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, we had taken our maid for the opera. I had noticed her voice was so sweet, so utterly pure. I just knew she just had to sing in the opera. We had also taken Mom’s car. Mom was not pleased about that. 
EM: (laughs) I’m sure she wasn’t. Let’s talk about your father. He discouraged you from becoming a musician, it must have been hard for you. How did you deal with it?
LB: It was rough, to routinely hear that if I pursued a music career, I would become a “klezmer,” or a broke musician in Russian. I had started lessons with Miss Coates for six dollars an hour, and when my father heard, he was enraged. Six dollars an hour? Outrageous. He refused to pay for my lessons. So I had to earn my own money. I barely scraped by, playing for different events, just like the klezmer my father denied me to be. If anything, his opposition made me more determined to be a musician. 
EM: You’ve studied under numerous music legends such as Aaron Copland, Serge Koussevitzky, and Dimitri Mitropoulos. What was that like?
LB: It’s incredible how I had the opportunity to study with these otherworldly geniuses. They all shaped me into the person I am today. I studied conducting under Dr. Fritz Reiner and had piano lessons with Madame Isabelle Vengerova. Both scared me stiff! They demanded absolute perfection. Reiner expected his students to have the whole scores memorized, and know the part of every instrument. But ultimately, we came to good terms and became friends. I also attended Tanglewood and trained under Serge Koussevitzky. He’d opened the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood to teach promising American musicians.
EM: What was your experience going through World War Ⅱ? 
LB: Even before World War Ⅱ I’d experienced anti-Semitism, especially during my time at Harvard.  To raise money for the USO and British Relief, Kouss asked me to conduct a concert at Tanglewood. I’d drafted multiple times for the army and both times were rejected with a 4-F, due to my asthma. I didn’t see it at the time but it was a blessing in disguise. I never would have wound up working with the New York Philharmonic. 
EM: After graduating from Curtis, you had to make a living for yourself. It was rough going. How’d you end up with a job working for the New York Philharmonic?
LB: After graduating I barely scraped by to make a living for myself. I worked odd jobs from performing to coaching vocalists. Eventually, I got a job with Irving Caesar, transcribing jazz, arranging piano, and writing pop music. A publisher was interested in publishing two of my compositions, Jeremiah and Extension of a Theme by Adolph Green. At that point, my salary doubled to $50 a week. Things were looking up. By a stroke of luck, a miracle, Artur Rodzinski was considering me as an assistant director for the New York Philharmonic. I met up with him and accepted his offer. 
EM: After you conducted the New York Philharmonic on November 14, 1943, you became an overnight success! Impossible! Who would have imagined that? What was it like for you?
LB: I certainly didn’t! Even after I’d become famous, it was still like a dream to me, unreal. I couldn’t believe it, ME, little Lenny Bernstein was famous! It was a miracle what a hit I’d become after that one night. I went on stage that day in front of thousands of people, not expecting anything. I was a wreck inside. So nervous, I would have fainted if I hadn’t had a job to do. The entrance to the piece was very tricky. But as soon as I gave the upbeat, the orchestra came in perfectly, and I knew everything would be fine. 
EM: What was your inspiration for West Side Story, one of your most popular works?
LB: Jerome Robbins approached me with the idea to do a modern version of Romeo and Juliet. I agreed. At first, we came up with the concept of a clash between two different religious families, Jews and Irish Catholics, the experience really resonated with us. But then after putting off the project for years, we realized that it wouldn’t appeal to the audience. In the end, the conflict is between two gangs, the Sharks and a group of Puerto Ricans. 
EM: Fancy Free was a sensation! In its first year, it was played 200 times, a sellout every time. Then it became a Broadway show, On the Town. What did you think?
LB: Like everything else, it was a miracle. Who knew it would be such a hit? It exceeded my expectations by becoming a Broadway show. I never considered it to be a possibility. 
EM: What inspired you to start a TV show?
LB: TV was just becoming popular. So I had to grasp the opportunity to educate people about the wonders of music. Except I didn’t want to give a dull, boring lecture. I needed to capture the audience’s attention. I wanted to share my passion for music in an entertaining and engaging way. For the first program, Omnibus, I taught about Beethoven’s ingenious Fifth Symphony. I had the floor of the studio painted as the music for his Fifth. As I hopped from note to note, musicians would play them. 
EM: We appreciate your time and cooperation. Thank you for so thoughtfully answering our questions. From compositions such as On the Waterfront to Symphony No. 3: Kaddish. You have been an inspiration to so many. Giving the world a new appreciation and perspective on music. Thank you so much for your time.

Description of Assignment:
For this essay, you will select one of the short stories we read in class to analyze. Then choose four or five of these literary devices: plot, setting, theme, character, mood, symbolism, conflict, imagery, dialogue, allegory, and irony; and analyze how they work in your chosen piece and to what effect. Choose literary devices based on how important they are in the plot and character development of your short story and evaluate the chosen piece of literature. You will be required to support your interpretation and analysis with research. You will also be required to incorporate elements of the author’s biography and how their history affected their writing.
Organization:
The introduction should give some key background on the story and where it fits in the canon of the author’s works. Any historical details concerning the author or the circumstances surrounding the story’s creation should remain in the introduction or conclusion. The thesis should indicate which elements of the story you will analyze and what is gained through such analysis. Your introduction should include an underlined thesis. 
The body will identify where, how, and to what effect your chosen literary devices work in your short story.  Use quotes (but none longer than 2-3 lines at a time), paraphrasing, and outside sources to root your essay in textual analysis. Organize the body so your analysis builds on each previous paragraph, giving us the basics first and ending on whichever element you feel is the culmination or unifying element of all the rest. 
The conclusion should restate your thesis and examine any new understandings about the literary devices and themes that arise from analyzing the short story. What should we take with us about this subject? What have you uncovered in the short story that is worth remembering?

Also in the comments section of the final paper, attach the AI report from the website linked here. You can upload your paper and then, attach the report. I will not grade any Final without the attached report from this detection website. Any paper with more than 25% AI generated content will not be graded and you will therefore, not pass English 1B this semester. If turnitin.com’s report differs from this report, we may need to have a conversation about your paper before you receive your grade on it. But these are two of the tools being used to detect AI use at the moment, so I want you to see at least one report before you submit.

In a 1500-2000 word (around 6-8 pages) essay, analyze Cruz’s play. Your essay should follow the guidelines we have previously established including use of Times New Roman, 12-point font, MLA format (header, title, one-inch margins, double spacing, etc.), and documentation of sources using in-text parenthetical citation throughout your essay. You will also need a Works Cited page (which does not count as one of your 6-8 pages).  As you analyze, consider the following Elements of Drama: Plot, Character, Theme, Diction, the Theatrical Nature of a Play (the “spectacle”), and Setting. Make sure to argue a position regarding these elements; you are not writing a book report.   
You must involve five to seven secondary sources to inform your analysis, four of which must come from the SBCC Luria Library Databases.  Google searches are not the same and will not be counted, nor will AI-generated text. You will be required to submit the links to your sources through your Works Cited at the end of your paper; make sure your links work, and that your reader is not sent to a blank, inaccessible page.
You will be graded on the quality and appropriateness of the readings that you choose as your resources, so be realistic. For example, if you choose an academic journal that is 100 pages long, and would be a challenge for graduate students, you would be graded accordingly.  If you chose a 425 word article from USA Today, that is minimal/lacking in analysis and academic rigor, and meant for the casual bystander, you would also be assessed accordingly. 

Research-Based Argument: Mandatory to complete English 1A
The time is finally here for you to put all of your information you have gathered on your subject in a Final Argument Research Essay.  You have an entire week to finalize your work, so please use your time wisely.  Here are a few reminders:
Format: Please format your paper using MLA Style including page numbering, in-text citation, and a works cited page.
Scope:  Carefully limit your topic to an area that you have worked with the entire semester, and make sure you can thoroughly research and present the information within 8-12 pages (2,500-3,500 words) using at least 6 peer-reviewed references, double-spaced, not counting the works cited page(s). Please follow the MLA guidelines carefully. Make sure you topic is both interesting and useful to you.
Research: Check your Turnitin percentage, as it cannot be over 14%. Please check before submitting your final document. Remember that this is a research paper, so much of the information and facts in your paper will come from other sources, but make sure your Turnitin Percentage is not over 14% and that you cite your sources in-text using MLA in-text citations—author’s last name and page number where the information can be found (Brown 25). 
Audience: Your audience will be the members of the community whose issue you are addressing.
Remember: You have had an opportunity to hone in on your topic through your Persuasive Essay, Synthesis Essay, an Annotated Bibliography assignment, and a Peer Review.  Please use what you can from your assignments to complete your final essay. You may use your findings (the results) from your Investigative survey, but by no means are you to cut and paste the entire process into your work.  You may use general information related to the turn out of the process.  Do not give the survey statements from the investigation in your final essay. Simply state the facts.  
Be sure to use proper MLA in-text citations and to include a Works Cited page listing all cited work in alpha order MLA style.  Papers that are not formatted correctly using MLA style and double spaced with paragraphs indented 5 spaces will be returned with a zero grade, and when resubmitted, 20% of your grade will automatically be deducted before I start grading for the resubmission.  This is the final opportunity to get it right to successfully complete this course.
