This blog is part of thinking activity which assign by Vedhehi ma'am about the Bob Dylan and Robert Frost A famous American artist.
                    

            Bob Dylan and Robert Frost 

                        
Here we discuss the various questions regarding the  well known songwriter Bob Dylan and poet Robert Frost.

1) Which is your favorite Poet/Lyricist?
 Why?


Bob Dylan and Robert Frost  both are highly regarded poets and lyricists, each with their own unique style and contributions to literature. 

Among the both  poet or lyricist  Bob Dylan is my favourite poet ,because his  primarily known as a musician and songwriter. He rose to prominence in the 1960s as a leading figure in the folk music revival, and his songs often contain poetic and socially relevant lyrics. Dylan's impact on popular music and culture is immense, and he has been influential across multiple generations.



2) Share some lines from the Bob Dylan songs that you feel are relatable to you. Also, write the themes visible in those lines.

There is the various intresting poems by Dylan like:
"Blowin’ in the wind"
"Like A Rolling Stone"
"All Along the Watchtower"

There we find intresting lines are...

How does it feel, how does it feel?

To be without a home

Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone


The lines from Dylan song ' The Rolling stone 'where we find that how the poet express the feeling of being lost, directionless, and detached from one's former life. Here we find The repetition of "how does it feel" emphasizes the introspective nature of the question, as the protagonist reflects on the experience of being without a home and feeling like a stranger to oneself "like a complete unknown". The imagery of a "rolling stone" further conveys the sense of aimlessness and constant motion, suggesting a lack of stability and rootedness in one's life. 

As well as  these lines evoke themes like Isolation

Alienation

Search for identity 

Overall, "Like a Rolling Stone" captures the essence of existential  and the experience of losing one's status and identity in a changing world.

3) Share some lines from the Robert Frost poems that you feel are relatable to you. Also, write the themes visible in those lines.

          

     Robert Frost 

Like Bob Dylan we also find various intresting poems by Robert Frost are:

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

"The Road not Taken ""

" Fire and ice "

There we find one small but interesting poem lines like:

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.


Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost is a short but powerful poem that delves into the destructive forces of desire and hatred.

The second stanza explores the destructive potential of desire, with "fire" representing the burning intensity of passion and craving that can consume individuals and societies.

the third stanza, Frost shifts to the destructive force of hatred, represented by "ice."


4) Post the picture clicked during the activity and share some lines of any songs from Movies, Poems, or any type of music you feel is relatable to the theme of songs by Bob Dylan and poems by Robert Frost.
