Spring Post Music as Literature

    Yes I consider all music literature because it is all a form of writing, or talking about something to get your point across. Literature is any form of writing it isn't just specific to only one category and it groups them all together. A Novel is a narrative portraying characters usually presented in action with scenes, a Poem is a composition in verse that is very artistic and has a high level of language, a Rap has a lot of slang, rhymes and a flow the purpose is to out rap your opponent, a Song is a type of lyrical art that is sang, and last but not least a Symphony is an elaborate instrumental composition of usually 3 or 4 movements.

Levi's Go Forth Commercial

1. The poem is called The Laughing Heart and it is written by Charles Bukowski.
2.I think it is ironic because the poem talks about your life being your life and how you need to take the chances the gods offer you so it is weird they used it for a Levi's commercial maybe the jeans are a chance the gods are offering us?
3. Charles Bukowski's life wasn't so good from what I read and in the poem it gives off a good vibe so i believe it does not give off his reputation.
4. I googled Levi's Go Forth poem and it took me to this http://theinspirationroom.com/daily/2011/levis-go-forth-with-legacy/ then I read about his life on wikipedia
