Significantly, within his musical career, he developed his own distinctive style and sound which cannot be compared to the music of today. Dylan’s primary objective was not to entertain and bring rise his own fame, but his poetical power in speech and song gave meaning to the beautiful and tragic events of the early twentieth century which shaped our country. The cold Minnesota wind in the town of Hibbing, Duluth was heavily filled with rock and roll as well as rhythm and blues. Robert Allen Zimmerman was his birth name and he had taught himself the basics of the guitar and the harmonica. After attending the University of Minneapolis, he found his true pride in American folk music while having read an autobiography called, Bound for Glory (Dylan Influences).

David Terrell was the leader of the tent revival system Donna and her family were affiliated with. He “was a twenty-seven-year-old six-foot looker with black hair, blue eyes, and a smile that flashed Holy Ghost charm” (p.25). Terrell was able to win the hearts of the families that came to see him with his natural movement and smooth outflow of words on the tent’s stage. He preached with the promise that if anyone trusted wholeheartedly in the Lord, good things would come to them. With this message given great emphasis by Terrell, and the longing people had to live better lives, Terrell’s ministry steadily grew famous.

This statement provides more information on Beowulf’s family history. Beowulf’s family history possibly had an effect on his braveness and eagerness to earn power and fame by taking on various battles throughout the text. Beowulf begins with the narrator telling the story of Shield Sheafson leading up to his funeral, which in my opinion foreshadows Beowulf’s funeral at the end of the poem. Early in the text we see that the narrator may be Christian, which is surprising for this piece of literature. The narrator states: “Afterwards a boy-child was born to Shield, a cub in the yard, a comfort sent by God to that nation.
No Direction Home, the title of a Martin Scorsese documentary about the early career of Bob Dylan, is taken from a lyric in Dylan’s song “Like a Rolling Stone.” The film opens with Bob Dylan in 2005 explaining the feeling of being born away from “home.” For an unexplainable reason, Dylan, from as early as he can remember, was trying to find home, and he knew it was not in Minnesota. The film is divided in two parts: the first tells the story of Dylan’s influences and how he developed into a musician, and the second reveals how Dylan, as a figure in the public eye, influenced others with his artistic ways of incorporating his political and moral views into his work. Live concert footage is abundant in the first part, and it is interesting to see as the film progresses how the crowds grow and fan interaction increases. Scorsese’s use of Dylan’s personal concerns and views is unique to No Direction Home. Even some of the most brilliant music documentaries solely focus on the artists career and their rise as music icons, but this documentary also emphasizes Dylan as a voice for political injustices of the time as well.
