Lesson 5: Poetry on Gambling

1.In the first poem "Tom Beatty" ,the author describes a lawyer who tries his luck to win some money .He finds that the chance of winning are very low. The author writes the lawyer felt despair.

2.In the second poem the author describes the colourful casino environment where there are colourful tips,smoke, dry lips, erratic lights, constrained tones, mesmerizing lights,the author shows a gambler trying to win back his money, even though he is exhausted.

3.The third poem shows how money is wasted when a person gambles, he will bet on anything in order to gamble.

The main difference in the three poem, is the feeling of the author of the poems. For example, the first author is trying to show the feeling of everything that turn against you. The second author, shows the desire to win back the money. And the last author is the feeling of lose of money.
