I had to repost.
I think The Eagle is about an eagle diving to the sea to get a fish. He saw it from his mountain cave.
ReplyDeleteCasey at the Bat is about everybody getting the ball except for Casey. Now no one likes him anymore because of that game.
I vote for The Eagle because I like looking out at a lake or the water when I’m in Montana. i like the imagery because sometimes I can see the fish in the water and I sometimes want to catch them. I’ve always wanted to fly and have a birds-eye-view of the sea from where I was flying.
Love,
Cooper
The Eagle is about a bird who is flying over top of the sea He falls. And then I don’t know what. The next poem is about a baseball player who always hits the ball when he is up to bat. When his team is really struggling, they put him in expecting for a hit, but what happens is that he strikes out. I think Casey at bat won because it tells a lot about the story and is very funny. It has a good rhyme scheme that goes like a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b. That is why I think Casey at bat won. Go Casey!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first poem, Casey at the bat, is about a baseball game and their down by two runs and a player hits a double which puts runners on 3rd and 2nd base. Their best player, casey, is up to bat he strikes the 1st and 2nd pitches and gets ready for the third. The pitcher pitches the 3rd pitch...strike 3. They lost the game.

I chose Casey at bat because I love how it is about baseball.Also, I like the metafore it it said “The sneer is gone from Casey’s lipes .his teeth are clenched in hate.That is one of the reasons I like Casey at bat.
The Eagle is about A eagle that is lonely and does no have any friends, so he falls.
ReplyDeleteCasey at the Bat is about a baseball player that thinks he is amazing, but when he gives it a shot he is terrible.
I like Casey at the Bat a lot more. One reason why is Casey at the bat is a lot longer so it is more like a story that you can follow along with. Second is that you can rely use your imagination to tell the story. These are the reasons why I like this book better.

ReplyDeleteThe first poem, The Eagle is about what an eagle is like. How he watches over the sky, and how he dives in the water to get fish.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, Casey at the Bat is about a baseball game. There is a man named Casey that is playing and he thinks he is better than everyone else but he strikes out.
I chose Casey at the Bat because I liked how it was a funny story. I think it also taught a lesson about if you are cocky than you will not do as well as you would if you were just confident. I think the writer's craft is a rhyme scheme because some of the lines rhyme with each other.
The first poem was describing what the eagle was doing. It said that “close to the sun with his lonely lands”I think that means that the eagle is lonely and he wants a friend.I thought that he was dying when it said”And like a thunderbolt he falls”.The second poem is about a SUPER good baseball player and how his teammates are not good and he is.One day at a game he went up the crowd cheered.He was up to bat and suddenly he misses.The crowd boos and screams stuff at the umpire like”kill him,kill the umpire”.The player told them to stop. He missed the the next hit he was not going to miss the next one he got ready.Everybody was happy that day except for the player who struck out.I chose the eagle because I feel bad for him and that poem is emotional.I think we should all choose the eagle because it is our animal in the united states.I like the eagle because it just makes you feel like you are in the poem.
ReplyDeleteThe first poem is about an eagle who was perched up on a hill waiting for his prey. The rhyme scheme it used was (aaabbb, I liked how it used a simile to compare it to a thunderbolt when he swoops down to grab his prey.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem is about a sunny day in Mudville. Where they are playing baseball and are losing in the last inning the score was currently 4 to 2 everybody has made it to a base in a weird way. Casey is up to bat and the first pitch he let it go by and the umpire called it a strike. the crowd yelled boos and kill the ump. Then Casey lets the other ball go by and the ump calls it a strike again. Then the third time they were sure casey was going to hit it. Then the picture throws the ball and Casey stoke out. I like this because it painted a picture in my head of how the crowd felt when Casey struck out.
I choose Casey at bat because it painted a picture in my head when he struck out and how mad he was.
The first poem, The Eagle, is about a eagle who is standing on mountain in a lonely land. The ocean is moving underneath and it’s watching it on the mountain peak. Then it falls off the mountain. This poem had rhyme scheme.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, Casey at the bat, is about a man named Casey who has pride of hitting a baseball. Everyone came to watch Casey hit the ball. The score was 2 to 4. Two players got out at base, but two got on second and third. It was Casey’s turn to bat. He didn’t like the first one, but it was still a strike. The crowd would have killed the umpire if it wasn’t for Casey raising his hand. The second pitch was a strike. The crowd knew Casey wouldn’t let another one go by. Casey hits the crowd with a mighty woosh. Somewhere in that town, children scream and the band play, but Casey had struck out.
I chose, The Eagle, as the winner because it was a good, calming poem about a eagle. The eagle is perched on a mountain top in an empty land. The eagle is watching the ocean in the sun on the peak of the mountain. Then the eagle falls.
Good choice cope
DeletePoetry madness

Everybody is waiting for Casey to go up and bat because he is really good. Casey strikes out, and everybody is very disapointed. The poem actually kind of teaches a lesson though… Do not always wait for the better player to do a miraculess thing, always have hope in the average player to. The poem also had a very good rhyme scheme too.
“Casey at the Bat,” is the winner I choose because I really like the lesson the poet put in there. The rhyme scheme is really good too. The poem is really action-packed too.

There is a eagle who is on top of a mountain, and there is the sea under it.Then like a thunderbolt (really fast) he falls, and then dives.
ReplyDeleteI think the author for Casey At Bat is trying to tell us that no matter how good you are you will still mess up sometimes. It’s about a baseball game and the other team is winning, and everybody got their hopes up when Casey stepped up at bat.
I think Casey At Bat should win because it’s telling something that is true in life that no matter how good you are you still mess up.

I think this story is very exciting. I think that Casey At Bat should win because of how entertaining it is. Go CASEY!!!

The Eagle is about an eagle who is hanging from a branch and is staring at the azure world [ azure is blue in Spanish, but in the poem they say azure.] Then he KERSHLAT falls.
ReplyDeleteCasey at Bat is about an “amazing” baseball player. The setting is in a baseball park with one inning left, and Casey’s baseball team is down by 2. We had 2 players on bases, but OH Casey had to ruin it for the team being so full of himself. “ There ain't no joy in Mudville”.
I choose The Eagle because it has a great rhyme scheme, and I just enjoyed reading the poem. It was not to short but not to long like Casey at Bat. I choose The Eagle also because it had personification. Also it had a clear emotion, sadness. I choose The Eagle.

The first poem, The Eagle, is about how an eagle looks down on an ocean from a cliff. Then dives quickly to catch a fish.

ReplyDeleteThe second poem, Casey at the Bat, is about a baseball player who is the fan favorite and has a huge ego. One game, his team was losing by two in the ninth period with two outs and men on second and third. When Casey got up to bat, everyone got wild. Casey didn’t like the first pitch a ignored the second. With two strikes, he swung, but he struck out. I think the morale of the story is don’t get too confident that you don’t try until you have to.
I chose Casey at the Bat because I like the morale that everyone should learn. I also liked the amount of detail and effort the author put in.
The poem “ Casey at the Bat” is about a baseball player named Casey who is chosen to bat after Casey’s teammates get out. The first time the pitcher throws the ball, Casey ignores it because it isn’t his style and the umpire says strike one. The crowd shouts that the umpire should be killed but Casey raises his hand and smiles and signaled the pitcher to throw again. The second time he ignores it too and the umpire says strike two. Then the crowd yells fraud until Casey gives them a scornful look and the audience awes. On the third pitch Casey swings but misses and he is very very angry.
ReplyDeleteThe poem “ The Eagle” is about an eagle who sits on tree in a lonely land and watches the sea from the mountain walls and at the end of the poem the eagle falls. The rhyme scheme is A A A A A A. I also like how detailed the author was with the poem for example, he said, The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls” he also said “ Ringed with the azure world, he stands,”
I choose “ The Eagle” as the winner because I love animals and the poem is so peaceful and observant for example, the author says, “ He clasps the crag with crooked hands,” also, I like the ending because the author says “ And like a thunderbolt he falls” but he doesn’t say what happens next.
