  1. I think in both poems there are an even amount of similarities and differences. First off the first similarity is that there both focused mainly on these guys at the bar. Second they both say the same thing just in different context. Third they both have these guys who are just at a bar trying to play a game of pool and have a little fun.
    Now I will tell you about the differences. First difference is that the real author was just saying what she thought the people at the bar were doing. Were the other person didn’t assume he actually was specific and got inside the head of these people. Second the real story was stating more that they were living it up and trying to be cool. Were the other guy said that they were going through a lot and went to the bar just to unwind.
    So those are my reasons why I believe they are both different and similar.

    I mostly like the non-original one a lot better in my opinion . It was more specific and gave straight forward information about the people in the bar. Yet in the original one it was just something the author assumed. Also the original one was just so clever how he made the original poem fit in to his and he still managed to make it great. So these are my reasons.
