Poem Analysis

Both the story and poem are alike. They both have to make choices on how they choose to live their life. They should live their life the way the feel it needs to be. Int he story of "Contents Of The Dead Man's Pocket" Tom had to choose between work and his wife, while in the poem "You want a social life, with friends", chooses between work, love, and friends. In reality, people have to make some hard choices when they can have a little time to themselves and do many different things they can be doing. Life is full of hard choices and both, the story and the poem are good examples of that. Your life are about the choices and what you make out of them.
