In at least one hundred words, explain the significance of repetition in Bob Dylan’s “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll.”

English

creativ13 [48]3 years ago
8 0
In this song, Dylan repeats the lines "Take the rag away from your face / Now ain't the time for your tears."

He uses these lines throughout the song in order to tell the listener that *this* isn't what they should be upset about. Don't get upset that this woman was murdered. Don't get upset that she was only a maid. Now isn't the time to get upset about these things.

By the end of the song, however, this line changes. It now becomes "Bury the rag deep in your face/ For now's the time for your tears." Dylan says that now is the time to cry because justice was not served. Zanzinger only got six months for the murder of an innocent woman.

Therefore, the repetition of these lines allows Dylan to indicate the true tragedy of this story.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Though Gatsby himself turns the man away, Nick interrupts the narrative to relate Gatsby's past the truth of which he only learned much later to the reader. His real name is James Gatz, and he was born to an impoverished farmer in North Dakota, rather than into wealth in San Francisco, as he claimed. Hover for more information. In Chapter IV when Nick and Gatsby ride together into New York, Gatsby tells Nick about his past, in Gatsby's words "something about my life." He then tells Nick of his wealthy Midwestern family background and his Oxford education--a family tradition, he said.

Zina [86]

Answer:

Selfish giant

I was a selfish giant when the children who came to my garden changed my life. Especially a boy who was my best friend. Even though the first time he met me, he got scared. But now we both are friends. So I want to tell u that children bring light to our life. Even when we are old, children fill us up with a special type of energy that certain human beings cannot give us.

Hope this helps......
