1. The
commercial “borrows” the poem “The Laughing Heart” by Charles Bukowski
2. The
use of this poem by a corporation is ironic because the poem tells the reader
to live life how they want to live it, but the corporation is trying to sell us
things basically saying “live your life how you want to live it… as long as you
wear Levi jeans”
3. I
think the poem does reflect the reputation of the author because Bukowski had a
reputation of drinking and using prostitution so he was living his life as he
wanted to live it not paying attention to social norms or the law.
4. To
find the answer to number one I googled “levis go forth poem” and found the
video along with the name of the poem. To make sure it was correct I googled
the name listed “The Laughing Heart” and found several sites that proved it was
correct. I then followed a link on one of these sites that said “Read more on
Bukowski” where I learned about his reputation and made my interpretation.
