The baseball: pages 1-100
This is not your typical book, there is no story line, it is just facts and freak accidents that happen in the world of baseball, Americas past time. The first chapter is titled the souvinear craze this has a list of "ballhawks" or people who go to games just to catch a foul ball or even, if they are lucky, a homerun. Charlee sheen is one of the most wellknown ballhawks even though he has never caught one he as attempted to. At a dogger game a few years ago charlee sheen baught all the seats in the outfield to attempt to catch a homerun ball from either team, after the game he did not end up with one but he was interveiwed and when asked why he did that he responded, "i didnt want to hurt anyone who got in my way." The second chapter in titled foul ball lour, it talks about the rule of the foul ball. Before reading this book i did not know that teams paid for the ball so they wanted the ball backl if it ever ended up in the stands. This rule was the creation of polo grounds a feild that is 483 to center feild an unreachable distance at the time.
KG'S BEAST!!!!
As u can read in the title KG's blog is "beast" or Dankin' which ever you prefer. He talks about sports and mostly Jimmer, a terrible player for BYU. He also uses high diction words and word we Learn in class for example, Dank. I am looking forward to more post by the mysterious KG, he does not give his real name, so, no one knows who he is.
Who is he??
Who is he??
The kitten
The poem "The Kitten" is a very depressing poem, it gives the sense of sadness. The kitten was a stillborn and never got a chance to live its life. The narrator takes the cat and buries it in the field behind his or her house. The diction the author uses portrays his or her love for the kitten even though it never lived. At the end of the poem the author says "What other amazement" almost like she knows there are more moments that will be upsetting like this one.
