l guess stage direction or scene
Answer:
You could compare a handsome gentleman to a book because they both hold the characteristics of being:
- Mysterious- you cannot judge books nor man by their cover. Underneath their "cover" they can be an array of things. Perhaps you wanted a Dystopian novel but you got some humor along with it. Perhaps you wanted a man with confidence, but you got charisma instead with a soft interior. They are similar.
- Well Mannered- Books are cultured, they hold knowledge and present information from an intreresting perspective. So do gentlemen, they are cultured and hold information.
- Effective at Communicating- Books are known for their words. They are able to communicate their message. So can men, if you are a gentleman you are supposed to be good with words- silver-tongued some may say.
Anyway, I hope that helped even though it wasn't put together well. Have a good day!

Updike has carefully brought the meaning to the poem and to the character by naming him Flick, which means a quick and sudden movement.
Explanation:
'Ex-Basketball Player' is a poem written by John Updike. The poem is about a character named 'Flick Webb' who used to be basketball star in his high school but now serves as a gas station attendant.
<u>The poem brings the meaning that one should not remain the past glory of life and must move on</u>. Flick used to be a basketball star in his high school but after that moment of life gets over he is just 'Flick' who, now, should think of life ahead of him. But he remains stick to his past glory.
"Flick' means a <u>quick and sudden movement</u>. By naming the character 'Flick', Updike brings out the message that life goes on in a flick moment of time and thus one should remain prepared for it. But, in the poem, 'Flick' was not prepared for life ahead and remained a slave of past glory as an 'Ex-Basketball Player.' Because 'Flick' perceived that his glory will remain forever, he never learned other skills to help him for his future, that's why now he serves as a gas station attendant.
