Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.
Viktor [21]

The theme of this poem is this:

  • Remain humble no matter how experienced you think you are at something.
  • Imagery helps the reader to visualize everything that transpired in the pitch. For instance, in these lines, "Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;" and "He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate," the reader can better feel and sense the tension in the air as Casey arrived to play.

<h3>What is the theme of a poem?</h3>

When asked to find the theme of a poem, we are required to determine the main lesson that should be taken from the reading of the poem.

In the poem above, we can see how overconfidence contributed to the mighty fall of Casey. His arrogance made him ignore the rules of the game that aided his tumultuous defeat.

So, the life lesson that is derived from this is that we must never become proud no matter our level of achievement in life.

A struggle between the primary character and another character is called ____
Anastaziya [24]
The answer would be D) External conflict because its a battle between one character and another so this is just like an ex of Batman vs The Joker, both of them are characters and they are in a fight against each other and this is a external conflict since its a character vs character thing, its not exposition, its not internal conflict because that's a problem in the inside like what should I do, and not resolution because that's like the solution to a problem.

serious [3.7K]

The correct answer to what do Bixby's expressions suggest about his character is the last option: He has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.

When Bixby says things like <em>"By the great Caesar's ghost"</em> or <em>"you don't know enough to pilot a cow down a lane"</em>, it becomes clear that he has a <em>funny, comical and somehow inventive character.</em> His expressions are <em>jokes or puns</em> that seem to be <em>natural</em>, they appear to be <em>common or usual in his speech</em> and to come intuitively. So, the correct answer to what the expressions suggest about Bixby's character is that <em>he has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.</em>

The correct answer couldn't be the first option, <em>"He has a large and somewhat imposing personality"</em> because there is <em>nothing imposing about the comments Bixby does</em>. He is, indeed, a little bit acid, but not at all imposing. On the contrary,<em> he asks for Moses' help and says that he believes him.</em> Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be "He has a large and somewhat imposing personality".

The correct answer couldn't be the second option, <em>"He does not get along well with any other people"</em>, because there is <em>nothing on his way of speaking which indicates that his jokes, puns or way of expressing himself are not well excepted by people.</em> On the contrary, he seems to be acid, humorous, <em>but also friendly.</em> Thus, the correct answer couldn't be "He does not get along well with any other people".

The correct answer couldn't be the third option, <em>"He is extremely well read and well educated"</em> because Bixby shows <em>no signs</em> of that. On the contrary, <em>when he speaks, his expressions are informal and conversational.</em> So, the correct answer couldn't be "He is extremely well read and well educated".
