I would say it depends on what you are considering
"education." Much of Dylan's song celebrates those who rise up against systems, the
"warriors whose strength is not to fight," or the rebel, typically not the people we
celebrate in our current system of education.
So much of
what Dylan seems to be celebrating is the chiming of the bells symbolized by lightning,
chiming for people that are cast out of the system, mislabeled or cheated, people that
don't fit into our current view of education, people that likely got their education on
the street or in their tough experiences.
If your paper is
going to address that idea, the idea that real education happens in the rough and the
tough, the moments when you aren't necessarily in a classroom being inspired but when
you are scared or alone or hunted or standing up against what you are "supposed to do,"
I think the song might be a great reference.
