What does WOM conclude about the relationship between the text in “Poor Boy Blues” and Bill Lucas’ actual life? Do you agree? Why or why not? (Answers will vary.)

What will be an ideal response?

• The words of the song don't speak directly for Bill Lucas' personal experiences, but they do speak generally for it and other similar people who have been forced by circumstances into hard times.
• Answers to the other parts of the question will vary.
