Imitation 2: Bob Dylan, " Like A Rolling Stone"


The 1960’s song that I chose is one created by Bob Dylan, called “Like A Rolling Stone”. It is about a woman who thought of herself to be better than everyone else because of what she had at the time, but then lost everything and the song asks her, how does it feel, due to that fact that she is leaving in that persons’ shoe now. The context is written to teach the woman a lesson, and grasp her attention that karma eventually caught up to her. The song is written to boast to the woman that she has nothing now, and she is no different from the poor people she used to look down upon. The rhyme scheme to this song is written in (a, b, c, b, dd, ee) form. The literary devices that Bob Dylan used are inside rhyme scheme, ending rhyme scheme.

  1. You are behind a couple of post right now. Catch up.

    Make sure to post the lines of the poem/song that you are using.

    You utilize context to say a little more about the piece as opposed to what the writer or society is experiencing.
