2.Share some lines from the Bob Dylan song that you feel is so relatable to you. Also write themes visible in those lines.
Bob Daylon's Poem are always fascinate us. His writing, his choice of incident in poems is always interesting. One of his famous poem is "Blowing in The Wind".
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people existBefore they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his headAnd pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind
"Blowing' in the Wind" by Bob Dylan is a powerful protest song that addresses social and political issues, particularly during the civil rights movement in the 1960s. The core meaning of the song revolves around the quest for freedom, justice, and equality. The lyrics pose a series of rhetorical questions, emphasizing the idea that the answers to these fundamental questions about peace, freedom, and human rights are apparent but remain elusive.
The repeated refrain, "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind," suggests that the solutions are within reach but perhaps not fully recognized or acted upon. The song became an anthem for social change, resonating with those advocating for civil rights, peace, and justice. Dylan's lyrics serve as a call to action, encouraging individuals to reflect on these issues and work towards positive change in the world.
This poem according to me can have another meaning and message as well. Which i think relatable to me.
In life we have lots of problems regarding work, family, future, friends and personal as well. These questions or problems can be solved for a time but these are constant things in are life. These problems will never totally solved. And we can't even ignore it like "Elephant in the room".
So the thing we have to do is trying to solve the issues and stay with that. Because solution is in "wind" it means in are hand though question and problems will never finish.
3.share some lines of Robert Frost that you find relatable to you. Also write themes visible in those lines.
Robert Frost is well known name poet of his era. His poems interesting and significant.
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep".
These lines are from poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." The speaker is expressing a sense of admiration for the serene and beautiful woods but also acknowledges responsibilities and commitments that prevent them from lingering.
The phrase "And miles to go before I sleep" suggests a journey or a path that the speaker must continue before they can rest or find peace. It reflects a theme of duty, perseverance, and the prioritization of responsibilities over personal desires.
According to me are life also have problems, positivity, relationship, question, chaos but however one must have to go and live the life.
