Freedom Chimes

No matter what way you look at it, this poem expresses freedom. I also think there are parts that it speaks of not having any freedom and needing to break free and there are parts where they talk about trying to evade being caught. The action of the poem is to enlighten the readers or listeners with the ruckus that continued to spread and in a sense is still spreading over our nation. That ruckus is the call for freedom. People wanna be free which raises an uproar. The reasons Bob Dillon could have written this song is so that people understand exactly what life was like back then. My favorite lines is when he sings "Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake. Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked. Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake and we gaze upon the chimes of freedom flashing". In a sense i feel as though these lines were written for me and everyone else who has been through some hard times in life. They are saying that our situations will lighten and we will be remembered by all who we interact with.
