1. Do you agree with Kipling's message in this poem? Why or why not? Identify which of Kipling's statements is the most meaningful to you and explain why. Is Kipling's advice useful for people today? Why or why not?
Yes, I agree, because its a way of life that can be used by everyone and everydays living. The most meaningful statement that he wrote in the poem was when he said "If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss". It meant that when you realize there is more to life than wealth and would be willing to sacrafice it all just to be happy. I agree and that part of the poem meant alot to me beacause really in life if you could be the richest man/woman on earth yet you most likely won't be happy 100%. Money, popularity, material that is valuable, things that are valuable won't mean a thing in the end. It can't make you happy, you could be the only person on this world and have everything, yet, you won't be happy. I think Kipling's advice is useful for everyone today because today theres greedy people all over the world and probably never got a chance to be happy or learn to give happiness. So i think if Kipling got a chance to to tell the world what he wrote in his poem, I really think that he would open up alot of peoples eyes and help them realize it's not what you want, it's what you need.
