Lazy is the negative strongest connotations i think
I felt dirsrepected when my brother stole my bowl of ice cream. He literally didnt give me the respect i give him. So what did i do? I didnt tattle or complain. Instead i took the whole next carton of ice cream and ate it with a group of my friends and used all my brothers chocolate syrup. The moral of this lesson is dont go in a cycle like i did. Just try talking with whoever direspected you.
What are u trying to ask?
The above poem refers to a basketball player who, during the game, is reflecting on whether or not to steal a base. The tension of the game and the reflection makes the player tense, anxious and apprehensive. These sensations, as well as the scenario in which the poem is established, are made with the use of figurative language that is established with the use of similes, where the poet compares the player's situation with other elements. The use of figurative language through similes can be seen in the lines:
"Both ways taut like a tightrope-walker,
"
"Now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball
"
"Taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird,
"
Figurative language aims to use words that have one meaning, to express another meaning. This expression is made subjectively and not literally. In the lines above, figurative language is used to show how tense, agile and attentive the player was.
