Beowulf Prologue-Chapter X Notes

• Beowulf was a poetic story made in year 1000 b.d. It was in Old English which was like Russian and Latin. Beowulf can't be described as a fact or fiction story because of the way they added creatures more or less human and people with a lot of grim tragedies and comedy. The story isn't anachronistic due to the audience which were Christian Germanic people.The grammar is expressed by infliction, they are affixes in the root of the word which can stand as pronouns. The translation of the language isn't the the neatest but it suits great for readers to understand.

Poetry #1

1.) The author of the poem is Charlws Bukowski
2.) The poem was a meant to raise people's awareness on how bright life can and will be in the end, even though you have nothing or you are extremely poor, it wasnt really mean to advertise a brand of pants. It feels like the commercial wanted to reach out to the teenagers with these "wonderful" pants commercial.
3.) Charles Bukowski wrote the poem for the classes below the middle and upper class, it was never meant to make someone feel good about how good they look in the pants by saying "your life is your life". It was men who were poor and basically had nothing but problems. So no it didnt reflect on his reputation.
4.) During my little youtube session with the video I looked at the comment's searching for a helpful comment, luckily after my third scroll down I found "the laughing heart" by Charles bukowski and I found the answer fpr question one. Then I looked up the the key words "Charles Bukowski the laughing heart" and found " http://bukowskiforum.com/threads/the-laughing-heart.1684/"  and found question 3 and actually some other interesting translations to the poem.
