Write a paragrapg of more than 5 sentences to answer this question: How does the word choice in "Casey at the Bat" contribute to
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

'Casey at the Bat: The Ballad of the Republic Sung in 1888' is the complete title of the American poem by Ernest Lawrence Thayer.

This poem describes the tale of the last half-inning of the baseball game. Mudville's home team is losing four to two. The first two hitters for Mudville strike easily, but the next two reach the base safely enough that the home run won the game for Mudville. The next batter is the team's Mighty Casey runner, whom the audience thinks is going to come through.

In the poem, Mighty Casey gets two pitches right down the center of the field, but he's tossing them away, hoping for an even better pitch to strike. The audience is in a panic, as another hit means that Casey is out and the game is finished.

Mighty Casey is sneering at the catcher with resolve, and the reliever is preparing the third strike. Casey hits extremely hard, and the author mentions that in many areas of the world, fans are laughing and smiling — but not in the clubhouse, as Casey has struck out to lose the Mudville contest.

Example:

1-a comparison of unlike things using like or as

2 "the crowd gave a muffled roar, like the beating of the storm waves"
