Patricio Manns was rather stunned when Bob Dylan won the Noble Prize. He was shiocked for several reasons. First of all, Bob Dylan is a black man. Black men did not win the Noble Prize at this point in time. Manns was also shocked because the Nobel Prize committee recognized a song as poetry. This was a much more progressive idea than Manns was used to.A mi me pienso que es correcto para darselo a Bob Dylan. The American dream is the idea that everyone has the opportunity to advance their situation. One can come into a new country and through hard work and dedication, they are able to create a decent life. Other people may argue that the American Dream is a husband, two children, and a white picket fence; however, I think this idea is outdated. El Sueno Americano es el Album de Patricio Manns. In this album, he is attempting to put together a story about the baf that America has done to people of different Races. My poem was El Nuevo Mundo. Patricio discusses how the new world destroyed the world that came before it. The first stanza refers to a giant secret that the Los Estados Unidos had tried to keep concealed. Later he describes that Indians have been put in the background and no one ever wantes to talk about what we did to them. He then describes the beauty of the Indian culture prior to the Europeans coming over. This shows a contrast between the purness of the Indians and the terror of the white men. He ends the song with a plea to return to the purity.
