Poetry #1

1.  This commercial borrows a poem written by Charles Bukowski called The Laughing Heart.
2.  The use of the poem, The Laughing Heart, is very ironic in this commercial made by a corporation.  The Laughing Heart inspires people to break free from the detainment of the people in power and encourages people to be their own individual person.  Ironically, corporations represent the exact opposite of this as they are the ones who typically abuse their power and try detain humans and restrict their rights.
3.  This poem reflects the reputation of the author, Charles Bukowski, as he is known for writing on the ordinary lives of poor Americans.  Through many of his life experiences, he has come to understand the struggles Americans go through and reflects on the idea of the light shining at of the end of the dark tunnel. 
4.  I can thank google for finding the answers to #1 and #3.  For number one, I just typed in the first few lines of the poem into my search engine and the name of the poem and the author came up.  For number 3, I typed in the name of the author and many different sites came up about him that helped me answer the question.
