Answer:
Falling action.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gregory Djanikian's narrative poem "How I Learned English" revolves around the author's newfound way of learning the adopted language. It also tells of the hardships yet at times humorous ways of trying to learn the language through his love of the game of baseball.
In the given lines, the narrator talks of how he managed to get back up from his blunder of using wrong English. But though mistaken, the others find it funny and all had a hearty laugh over the narrator's mistake. And then, the narrator continues, "though my head felt heavy, I played on till dusk Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders And calling out in desperation things like "Yours" and "take it," but doing all right". These lines form the part of the poem's falling action, leading the story/poem towards its end.
