Poetry #1

1. The poem is The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski.
2. This poem is ironic because it talk about defining your life from everyone else's. But this commercial is a national brand that wants to sell their jeans thereby decreasing our unique life.
3.  I believe it does because the poem had a "live life to its fullest" theme and the author seemed to be that type of person. He liked to drink and be with women but most importantly he avoids the mainstream and the "falling in line" attitude.
4. For #2 I looked at the words of the poem and the tone it was Said in to determine whether or not it is ironic. Irony can be different things but this poem is like contextually ironic. I found the poem by googling in the first words. For #3, I read the author's bio and found it was quite similar to his poem.
