Bob Dylan's song, "The Hurricane" is a story communicated through song. It is a tribute to a man whom Mr. Dylan felt compelled to tell the story of. It is a song of protest, fighting against racism. The Hurricane is not a real person, it doesn’t breath, eat, or have a need to be safe and loved, it is not a man.

Everybody is supposed to achieve the American Dream today, regardless of who you are, where you came from, or what you do to get there.
