Hello readers...
This blog is in response of the thinking activity given to us on Bob Dylan and Robert Frost . We have to evaluate their song's impact and language and other theme of it.
1.) Which song of Bob Dylan has made an impact on you? Why? Can you find a song similar to the same theme in other language ?
The song blowin' in the wind's deep meaning it to talk about the frustration of black Americans at the time and it became an anthem for the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's.
The impact that it makes on me is how harshly all the answers have been found and lost again. Blown out of our hands and we are left chasing for them time and again. You must search to find them and, in short, the answers are only fleeting and will be lost again.The following kine i liked the most,
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
One of the most famous quotes and mysterious lyrics of all time gives the start to this song. There have been many interpretations of this verse and there’s no wrong one.
The simplest interpretation would be that the artist is questioning about the life experiences of a person-how many of it does take for someone to be considered grown up. Other interpretations include references to civil right marches that were popular in the 60’s. How many of these walks would it take to win what they naturally have a right to?
There’s so much wisdom in these words and the lyrics of the song.
2.) Which poem of Robert Frost has made an impact on you ? Why ?
The central theme of this poem is the divergence of paths, both literally and figuratively, although its interpretation is noted for being complex and potentially divergent.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves, no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
It made an impact that shows,
"one who habitually wastes energy in regretting any choice made: belatedly but wistfully he sighs over the attractive alternative rejected".
Thank you...
