poetry #1

1. The Levi’s Go Forth campaign uses Charles Bukowski poem, "The Laughing Heart."

2. It is ironic because it talks about not giving into submission when the point of the commercial is to buy Levi’s jeans from them. Which in the end, it is quite ironic.

3. It reflects Bukowski’s reputation in the sense that he writes about being free in the poem and that’s how he has lived his life, not really caring what others think of him and doing what he wants to do.


4. To find out my answers, I simply did an easy google search of the first line of the video and up came Bukowski’s poem, so there I knew who the author was. I then did another search to research briefly on Bukowski’s background.
