Answer:
I also agree with this statement because the only thing Frida Kahlo had was art. As you know, she suffered a trolley-car accident and art was her only salvation. So, we could say that painting helped Frida to express her feelings and overcome the hardest moments in her life.
Explanation:
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was the most famous Mexican painter, thanks to her portraits, self-portraits, and paintings inspired by Mexican nature, history, and society.
She was attending medical school until a traffic accident, which made her partially disabled and caused her a lot of physical pain and health problems.
The painting was her only distraction from her health and private problems, which was also was confirmed with her numerous quotes about art, as:
“Painting completed my life”, “The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration”, etc.
A theme that Geoffrey Chaucer develops through these two excerpts is that of treachery, since both King Peter of Spain and King Peter of Cyprus were betrayed and their lives ended tragically. King Peter of Spain was betrayed by a man named Bertrand, who had agreed to protect him in exchange for a great compensation, but who eventually handed him over to his half-brother, Henry, who promised him an even greater reward and who assassinated Peter in his tent in 1369, becoming the new king. This is narrated in the excerpt, where Bertrand is compared not with Oliver of Charlemagne, friend of Charlemagne, but with the knight that betrayed him ("No, Oliver of Charlemagne... such a trap!").
Peter I of Cyprus devoting his short yet intense life to fight Islam, and he led the short yet devastating Alexandrian Crusade, but his life ended abruptly. Betrayed by his wife and by some of his closer knights, he was assassinated in his bed also in 1369. This is also referred in the poem ("That conquered Alexandria... on thy bed!").
To sum up, both excerpts revolve around this theme, which they present very similarly: after emphasizing the deeds of the two historical characters, they finalize by regretting their tragic endings.

Answer:
His music was based on what he saw in his life.
Explanation:
Woody Guthrie's music caught the contrasting emotions of America and how people manage to survive and thrive in impossibly difficult times, so the phrase "All you can write is what you see" shows that he writes his music based on what he has experienced first hand or from the experiences of others.
It shows that Woody Guthrie put his pen to paper on what he saw in life.
