Answer 1

Answer:

A lot of the sentences have you reading passages that lead up to Casey getting to bat.  The poet uses these phrases over and over to make the reader get excited.  Casey struck out and there is no joy.  Imagine you being at bat and all eyes on you, it is the 2nd strike and you are nervous.  Have you ever been unsure about something that you had to do that brought you into the "light" or attention of others? They are watching you.  It all depends on you and what you do next...The reader is drawn into the moment.  Read the last stanza.  Somewhere the sun is shining for someone else.  Not Casey.  The band is somewhere playing a triumphant song - not for Casey.  Somewhere people are excited and laughing.  But - there is no joy in Mudville.  Why? Casey struck out.  Now, how would you feel if you were Casey?  I am sure you have been in a predicament like this and it might not have been sports related.  Someone or something has depended on you and you blew it.  

Now, as a coach, I would say - keep trying.  But, nothing - no words - can help the kid that strikes out and is feeling depressed and weary.  All eyes on him - all eyes were on you too.
