Hello. You did not say which poem this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
In general, we can say that the first lines of a poem have the effect of determining the tone and the main subject which the poem will develop in the following lines. In this way, the first two lines can fulfill this role, mainly in relation to the tone of the poem.
The Puritans, a strict fundamentalist Protestant sect who immigrated to the New World for religious freedom beginning in 1609, believed that education was necessary in order to read the Bible to receive salvation. This was in line with the beliefs of the Protestant Reformers.
B. Casey is upset by the townspeople’s anger.
The townspeople being
angry at Casey never quite subsides throughout the majority of the poem.
In fact, it makes its presence known even toward the end of the poem as
Casey comes up to bat in the ninth inning as is evidenced by “A dismal
groan in chorus came; a scowl was on each face |When Casey walked up,
bat in hand, and slowly took his place.” And, readers can tell he is
upset at this in the lines that ensue: “His bloodshot eyes in fury
gleamed, his teeth were clenched in hate; | He gave his cap a vicious
hook and pounded on the plate.”
