"Atticus does not want to have this conversation about "gentle breeding". He repeatedly tells Scout and Jem that their Aunt Alexandra wants him to have this conversation. He says, "our aunt has asked me to try and impress upon you and Jean Louise that you are not from run-of-the-mill people". He is supposed to be informing them that their family heritage makes them upper class people, who are better than others and should behave accordingly. Scout knows that this is not how Atticus truly feels or wants them to act. She says, "My father never thought these thoughts. My father never spoke so."<span />
Answer:
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.
