Poem Analysis Paragraph

The connection between the theme of "Contents of a Dead Man's Pocket" and "You Want a Social Life, With Friends" is that you shouldn't take the things in life for granted. Another connection in both stories is that you shouldn't waste your whole life on something that's not important. In the story "Content's of a Dead Man's Pocket" Tom Benecke wasted his time working and risked his life for a piece of yellow paper rather than spending time with his wife. In the poem "You Want a Social Life, With Friends" Michelangelo constantly painted ceilings and never had a social life with friends.
