In your journal, please answer the following two questions. This should amount to AT LEAST a page's worth of writing:
1. Describe the theme (the point) of the poem and how the ending helps the author convey this message.
2. The poem's main event is just a meaningless baseball game, yet the language makes it feel much larger than that. Choose 3 poetic devices and describe how they increase the dramatic feeling of the poem.
Poetic devices: end rhyme, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, repetition, imagery, poetic shift, alliteration, consonance, and assonance.
