Thinking Activity : Frost and Dylan

 Here is my blog on thinking activity given by Vaidehi ma'am.

In our syllabus, we have American literature in which we have two Poets.

Robert Frost and Bob Dylan as American poets.

So, we are asked to do a unique activity that I have to create a video song in which the song of  Dylan or Frost is relatable.

Bob Dylan 

 Robert Allen Zimmerman is an American singer-songwriter, author and visual artist. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture during a career spanning 60 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture.

There is a song by Bob Dylan "Blowin" in the wind  

Here is the link to Dylan's song "Blowin" in the wind 

Lyrics of song.....

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly

Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' 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 exist

Before they're allowed to be free?

Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?

And how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

"Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962. It was released as a single and included on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. It has been described as a protest song and poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war, and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind"

In 1994, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked number 14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 GreateIn 1994, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Lyrics of song....

कुछ कर गुज़रने को खून चला खून चला आँखों के शीशे में उतरने को खून चला बदन से टपक कर, ज़मीन से लिपटकर गलियों से रस्तों से उभरकर, उमड़कर नये रंग भर ने को खून चला खून चला

खुली-सी चोट लेकर बड़ी -सी टीस लेकर आहिस्ता आहिस्ता सवालों की उंगली, जवाबों की मुट्ठी संग लेकर खून चला कुछ कर गुज़रने को खून चला खून चला आँखों के शीशे में उतरने को खून चला बदन से टपक कर, ज़मीन से लिपटकर गलियों से रास्तों से उभरकर, उमड़कर नये रंग भर ने को खून चला खून चला खून चला, खून चला, खून चला
