Answer:

It's all about controlling your tone, sound, and more.

Explanation:

These are the starting points. But here is a guide. Try saying the lines out loud.

<em>italics lines = </em>dramatic

bold lines= powerful

"The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day;

The score stood four to two with but <em>one</em> inning more to play.

And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,

A <em>sickly</em> silence fell upon the patrons of the game.

A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest

<em>Clung</em> to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast;

They thought if only Casey could but get a <em>whack</em> at that—

We’d put up even money now with Casey at the bat.

But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake,

And the former was a <em>lulu</em> and the latter was a <em>cake</em>;

So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,

For there seemed but little chance of Casey’s getting to the bat.

But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all,

And Blake, the much despised, tore the cover off the ball;

And when the dust had lifted, and men saw what had occurred,

There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-<em>hugging</em> third.

Then from 5,000 throats and more there rose a <em>lusty</em> yell;

It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;

It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat,

For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.

There was <em>ease</em> in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place;

There was <em>pride</em> in Casey’s bearing and a smile on Casey’s face.

And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,

No stranger in the crowd could doubt ’twas Casey at the bat.

Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;

Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt.

Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip,

Defiance gleamed in Casey’s eye, a <em>sneer</em> curled Casey’s lip.

And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,

And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.

Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped—

“That <em>ain’t </em>my style,” said Casey. “Strike one,” the umpire said.

From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,

Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore.

“<em>Kill</em> him! <em>Kill</em> the umpire!” shouted someone on the stand;

And it’s likely they’d have killed him had not Casey raised his hand.

With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone;

He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;

He <em>signaled</em> to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew;

But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said, “Strike two.”

“<em>Fraud</em>!” cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered fraud;

But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.

They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles <em>strain</em>,

And they knew that Casey wouldn’t let that ball go by again.

The sneer is gone from Casey’s lip, his teeth are clinched in hate;

He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.

And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he <em>lets</em> it go,

And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere <em>hearts</em> are light,

And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children <em>shout</em>;

But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has<em> struck out. "</em>

<em />

This is the way that I would say it, but you can switch it up. Sounding dramatic when needed and sounding intense when needed are the best ways to say this poem.

Hopefully this helps you.

Bonnie read an informational text about the cello for music class. In her analysis, she made the following claim: The cello is a
Elodia [21]

The answer is B, at least I think.


The definition of explicit is,“to fully and clearly express something, leaving hing, leaving nothing implied.” Something is explicit when it is cleared stated and spelled out and there is no room for confusion, as in the writing of a contract or statute.

So, explicit evidence is information directly stated in the text. The author comes right out and tells you the information.

When they say "The cello has four strings that lie across the bridge piece; it does not have marked frets," they're directly implying the cello is a hard instrument to play.


Hoped I helped you!

Good luck on whatever you're doing!

MissTica
<span>In these two stories or literary novels"Sixteen" by Maureen Daly and "Through the Tunnel" by Doris Lessing "who are both authors or wordsmiths, Maureen Daly and Doris Lessing" uses a theme, subject, or topic matter of their characters or dramatis personae who are wanting to prove, validate, and justify themselves to someone. However, the differences, distinctions ,or variation of these two stories or literary novels becomes starkly useless , entirely obsolete, and exhaustively and consummately kaput when who or whom the two characters or dramatis personae aspire to prove, validate, and justify themselves to. In "Sixteen" by Maureen Daly the principal character, main character, or dramatis personae seems to be attempting or trying really and truly hard to prove, validate, and justify herself to the reader, that she is insightful and perceptive enough and popular enough to congruous be  telling this story or literary novel. But ​in "Through the Tunnel" Jerry  attempts or tries really and truly hard to prove, validate, and justify himself to the older, mature looking men he looks up to and withal to himself. Throughout each story or literary novel, the characters or dramatis personae attempt or try to prove, validate, and justify something to themselves or other people or characters. In Doris Lessing's short story  or literary novel"Through the Tunnel"" by Doris Lessing" the principal character, main character, or dramatis personae who or whom we can apperceive or apperceive as Jerry  opportunely  accommodated or made acquaintance himself with a group of older, mature looking men hanging around in a wild-looking bay, cove ,or estuary full of rocks. These two completely and totally different  short stories or literary novels  "Sixteen" by Maureen Daly and "Through the Tunnel" by Doris Lessing are both chock full of  kindred spirits predicated on the absolute fact that both characters or dramatis personae attempt </span> <span>or try to prove, validate, and justify something to someone, but they are  different because those someones are different in these two stories or literary novel. While both stories or literary novels are starkly different in subject, theme ,or topic matter that both principal characters, main characters, or dramatis personae attempt or try to prove, validate, and justify themselves to someone. In "Sixteen," by Maureen Daly it is the reader. In the story or literary novels "Through the Tunnel," by Doris Lessing it is the older, mature looking men and later himself that makes Jerry to push past his inhibitions and fears and conquer or overcome them . The second homogeneous or same attribute or kindred characteristic between the two stories or literary novels is that the people or characters who had transpired to repeal the principal characters, main characters ,or dramatis personae which of course whom never present themselves again, are the leading cause that  prompts  both characters or dramatis personae in these two stories or  literary novels by of course being ostentatious with their earnest and veracious and genuine general and exhaustively simply authentic and true feelings and motivations all throughout these two stories or literary novels.</span>
