Answers
Answer:
In the poem “Roll the Dice” by Charles Bukowski, a conceit revolving around freedom is spread across the entirety of the poem. As I read this poem, only one line could I say word for word and is one that is repeated throughout the poem. “If you're not going to go all the way, don't even start.” I took Bukowski’s words and interpreted them and the conceit of the poem together. I got that the author was saying that if you want to accomplish something and you really want it, you must be free. You must be free of addictions, relationships, and things that will bind you down and keep you from meeting that goal. Yet it also talks about consequences. If you're not willing to go all the way of stealing and end up in jail, don't start stealing at all. This poem written for anyone who reads it, gives great advice about accomplishing goals and enduring to the end.
The structure of the poem is a free verse with inconsistent meter. There is no rhyming whatsoever. The meter likes to just jump around from one style to the next. There is some repetition with the quote, “if you’re going to try, go all the way. otherwise, don’t even start.” I know it's free verse because it talks about freedom from bindings that could stop you from going all the way. I know this from the blue book.
My project is a photo slideshow. My picture consist of people surfing ahead and enduring to the end. I also showed consequences of people who wanted something and had to let go of something else. For example, a man getting dumped. That represented the line, losing a girlfriend, family member. The last of my photos showed someone jumping and going through with it to show that theme of the starting and enduring to the end.
