B. Casey is upset by the townspeople’s anger.
The townspeople being
angry at Casey never quite subsides throughout the majority of the poem.
In fact, it makes its presence known even toward the end of the poem as
Casey comes up to bat in the ninth inning as is evidenced by “A dismal
groan in chorus came; a scowl was on each face |When Casey walked up,
bat in hand, and slowly took his place.” And, readers can tell he is
upset at this in the lines that ensue: “His bloodshot eyes in fury
gleamed, his teeth were clenched in hate; | He gave his cap a vicious
hook and pounded on the plate.”
Answer:
The cake in this scene is important because of a number of reasons:
- it serves as a symbol of celebration of the beginning of a new year - 1944
- there was scarcity of food in the shelter
- some refuges were not trusted with distributing the cake because of having been caught stealing previously
Explanation:
What the cake scene reveals about the "off stage" events is the distrust between the refuges. Some of them were caught stealing previously in the novel, and due to this, they were not trusted with cutting the cake, if at all. This is the reason why Mrs Frank had to do it instead of those 'thieves.' Of course, this created very high tensions in the annex and the whole cake scene only made things worse. It is there to show us how degraded the relationships in the shelter have become.
