So my answers and interpretations are here...

Que 1.) Which is your favorite Poet/Lyricist? Why? 
Ans:
I like Robert frost as a lyricist but in Bollywood context I like the lyricist and singer  Amitabh Bhattacharya. Basically I like his lyrics because I always feel connected with the words what I feel it's majorly written by him in the lyrics. Mostly he writes romantic or love lyrics he also writes mashup lyrics, sad lyrics with the romantic feeling. He always creates an epic songs which touches listener's heart and he always write beyond his age because he is old but he always think and write like that he is 25 year lover boy. Who expresses feelings through words.

Lyrics which I personally like very much and By touching the name of the song you can reach the site of the song 


Que 2) Share some lines from the Bob Dylan songs that you feel are relatable to you. Also, write the themes visible in those lines.
Ans:
Lines from the song "blow in the wind".
"How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man?"
Themes in these lines:

1) The Quest for Meaning: The question of how many roads a man must walk down before being considered a man can be interpreted as a metaphor for the search for purpose and understanding in life. It raises existential questions about the journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

2) Social Justice and Equality: Dylan's lyrics often engage with issues of social justice and equality. In this line, the question can be interpreted as a critique of societal norms and expectations regarding manhood, suggesting that true maturity should not be defined solely by external standards, but rather by one's actions and character.

3) Ambiguity and Interpretation: Dylan's use of open-ended questions allows for multiple interpretations. This ambiguity invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and perspectives, fostering a sense of connection and empathy among diverse audiences.

4) The Human Experience: The idea of walking down roads symbolizes the human experience of navigating through life's challenges and obstacles. The question asks how much one must endure or overcome before being recognized as a fully realized individual.

Que 3) Share some lines from the Robert Frost poems that you feel are relatable to you. Also, write the themes visible in those lines. 
Ans:
Lines from the poem "The Road Not Taken".
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
Themes in these lines:

1) Choice and Individuality: The poem explores the theme of choice and the paths we take in life. It reflects on the decisions we make and the impact they have on our journey. By opting for the less traveled road, the speaker asserts their individuality and willingness to diverge from the conventional path.

2) Risk and Consequence: Taking the road less traveled represents taking a risk or embracing the unknown. The line suggests that this decision carries consequences, whether positive or negative. It acknowledges the uncertainty inherent in making choices and the potential for both growth and challenge.

3) Exploration and Adventure: The idea of taking the less traveled road evokes a sense of adventure and exploration. It speaks to the human desire for new experiences and the courage required to step off the beaten path. The theme of adventure resonates with those who seek to break away from routine and embrace the unfamiliar.

4) Individuality vs. Conformity: The poem subtly contrasts the choice of the less traveled road with the more common path, highlighting the tension between individuality and conformity. It prompts reflection on the pressures to conform to societal expectations versus the desire to forge one's own unique path in life.
