Example Of Casey Analysis
The author uses humor to describe Casey's experiences. First by showing or making Casey appear mighty. It was really the irony that made the story humorous. The author used Casey as a sense of reassurance to the reader.
Casey was not just a figure of reassurance he was the main character, and he had a big impact along with the story.

For example the audience yelled "Fraud" "But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed"! The author made the reader engaged to think that Casey was great and that he was going to hit the ball on the last strike,But instead he missed. Another example, as seen from the text was "And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again". That proves Casey's role in the story along with being the main character. The sense of him being almighty was humorous in it self. The story was vague with the humor that the author decided to put in within the story. …show more content…
The reader knew that Casey missed the ball before the story was over. The last paragraph stressed the fact that everyone in Mudville was sad that day. The main plot for the humor all started in the start of the story. Everyone thought Casey was mighty, right until the part where his missed the

    The Mudville Nine Analysis

    Lawrence Thayer uses many elements of storytelling to help reveal what is going to happen. One of these techniques is his use of foreshadowing to reveal what will happen to casey and the mudville nine. To start the name of the team is kind of icky. Would you really expect a team called the Mudville 9 to win anything? I know that I would not. To begin with the team was not doing well “The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day; The score stood four to two with but one inning more to play” From the start they don’t seem to stand a chance. From lines 18 - 19 when…

    Irony Usage in the Short Story "The Painted Door" By: Ross Sinclair

    The first example of irony that sets the mood of this short story, was how it was John who had invited Steven over to play card and to keep, his wife, Ann company while he was away helping out at his father's farm. Little did John know it would turn out that Steven and Ann sleep together. Therefore giving this story an unenthusiastic mood to start off with.…

    A. E. Housman's Ex-Basketball Player

    Updike makes Flick Webb, the main protagonist, live through a miserable transition from his most glorious moments on the high school basketball team to his “metaphorical death,” working at Berth’s Garage continually recollecting on his past. To begin, “Ex-Basketball Player” starts through a strong usage of imagery. For instance, “Pearl Avenue runs past the high school lot, bends with the trolley tracks, and then stops, cut off.” (Updike) Using this as the first line of the poem, Updike was able to immediately establish the setting of the poem through the use of imagery. It also allowed him to create the mood of sorrow within the poem which will be further explained later on, contrasting “To an Athlete Dying Young.” However just like Pearl Avenue, Flick’s life was “stopped short,” he was never able to reach his full potential or fulfill the fame he wanted. Now, he is just another object at the run-down gas station on the corner. Updike draws similarities between Flick and his current occupation by mentioning “Flick stands tall among the idiot pumps—Five on a side, the old bubble-head style, and their rubber elbows hanging loose and low.”(Updike) He says this because Flick is nothing special anymore, he is not the superstar like once was. Updike mentions this about his character because he is an aged basketball player who…

    Louie later described his ordeals through a single, well thought sentence, “”If I knew I had to go through those experiences again,’ he finally said, ‘I’d kill myself’” (328). Even though his struggles during the war had left it’s mark, coming home wasn’t any easier and caused his wit to soon leave him in a drunken and abusive state. Later Louie redeems himself and his cleverness soon returns to him. In Louie’s later years Pete recognizes that his brother’s cleverness still served him just as well by telling a few onlookers, “‘Why the h*** are you trying to help him?’” (392).…

    Book Report for "Its Kind of a Funny Story"

    “Its kind of a funny story” is kind of a funny story. It's about 15-year-old Craig Gilner, who attends a prestigious college prep school that will set him on his way to the right college, the right law school, and the right job on Wall Street --- assuming he can bring up his 93 average. Studying for his school's entrance exam occupied Craig for months, and he was proud of his perfect score. Now, though, the school is a huge source of stress for him. He feels scattered and depressed, and even though he really likes the doctors who are helping him with his depression, he can't seem to make what he refers to as The Shift, a move back to normal life. When he calls a suicide hotline, they suggest that he go to the emergency room. From there, Craig spends five days on Six North, the adult psychiatric floor of his local hospital.…

    An Analysis of Cherokee Paul McDonald's 'A View from a Bridge'

    In McDonald's essay, he uses his experience fishing with a blind boy. While he uses first person, he also uses dialogue to explain what's going on. This allows the reader to get a feel for what's going on. Through the important interaction of the author with the blind boy, you are able to see the lesson that is trying to be taught. The language the author selects for himself and the little boy help the audience to see into their characters. McDonald uses short sentences, symbolizing his short temper and lack of patience with the boy. McDonald portrays himself as an angry and ill character, at the beginning of the story by having him shout phrases at the boy and cussing at the little boy when the boy asks for help.…

    The Time Machine Readers Response

    Wells does a good job on clarifying the meaning of events or people just as your curiosity peaks. He really shows what is symbolic in the story by emphasizing the object or person and making the otherwise insignificant subject a meaningful part of the story which can help you analyze the true symbolic value of the subject. An example would be the White Sphinx; it is a meaningless statue but Wells brings it into the story to show that there is meaning. The Sphinx represents the barrier in between time, an obstacle he must destroy to go back to where he belongs.…

    Narratology Dictionary for Great Expectations

    2 Comic Relief- This is the inclusion of a comedic character or a humorous scene/phrase to relieve tension in an otherwise serious section of the literature- its purpose being to relieve tension. Pip as a young narrator in the first section of the novel often serves this purpose, putting a childlike and therefore humorous spin on serious situations (like Scout in Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’). Joe often serves to provide this humor (especially at the start of the book when Pip is a young boy) because of his relationship with the younger Pip1.…
