Part A Choose a figure of speech in the poem. Write the entire stanza that the figure of speech appears in. Then note the type of figure of speech being used. Casey at the bat

Here’s an example from the fifth stanza of the poem:

Then from the gladdened multitude went up a joyous yell,

It bounded from the mountain-top, and rattled in the dell,

It struck upon the hillside, and rebounded on the flat;

For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.

In this stanza, Thayer uses hyperbole when he says that the cheers of the crowd “bounded from the mountain-top,” “rattled in the dell (a small valley)”, “struck upon the hillside,” and “rebounded on the flat.”

SAMPLE ANSWER

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
