Course

Write a short paragraph in which you evaluate what
makes the poem effective and give your opinion of the
poem overall
It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Chuck Keller, fat even as a boy, was on first,
His t-shirt riding up over his gut,
Ron O'Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus
And there I was,
Just off the plane and plopped in the middle
of Williamsport, Pa and a neighborhood game,
Unnatural and without any mores,
Hly notions of baseball and America
Growing furier each time I whifted.
So it was not impossible that I
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Waald enddanto find mealfin the nath

Answer 1

How I Learned English is a narrative poem. The first-person point of view helps the reader experience all of the important details. For instance, the reader can almost see the character Chuck Keller, described with his t-shirt riding up over his gut. Also, familiar words from the game of baseball, such as pop- ups and grounders remind the reader of the joys of being young and playing games. fFinally by using humor to tackle the theme of fitting in the author creates a balance of seriousness and fun that anyone would enjoy.
