. Both of these works tackle America; her history, day to day life, and, perhaps, her future. <\/p>\n

Plan to spend some serious time on this assignment (my guess is that you’ll need to spend at least five hours on this in order to earn an “A”). The music alone takes about 30 minutes to listen to, and you’ll need to listen to both works numerous times. Regarding the work by Dylan, the events, songs, films, etc. referenced, would take over 100 hours to research. I do not expect you to analyze every mention, but I do want you to explain at least<\/em> five (5) references <\/strong>in your paper, from EACH <\/strong>of the five (5) DIFFERENT<\/em><\/strong> verses, of Dylan’s song. Use couplets (two lines) of text for EACH <\/strong>of your references, in the Dylan work. <\/p>\n

Anderson’s work references events and modern habits too, please include at least one <\/em>(1) in your essay<\/strong> as well. These are NOT <\/strong>your personal opinions, these are facts that you have gleaned from researching the references. However, you should <\/em>talk about your observations to both songs, there relationship to each other, etc. in your concluding <\/em>paragraph. You may NOT <\/strong>reference anything I\/we spoke about in a chat session. <\/p>\n

Regarding comparison and contrast, you may<\/em> analyze any of the following elements:<\/p>\n
