Casey at the Bat!

Dear Casey,
I read your story “Casey at the Bat” and I really enjoyed reading it. When the first two people struck out before you and it was up to you to try to win the game you could relate to the determination that you had and also the confidence that you felt when stepping up to the plate. After your first to strikes everyone was nervous but when your reading the story you think differently like you know what will happen and you try to predict the end. Well when I tried to predict the end I was completely wrong. When you swung and missed for the third time and was out I thought about the story and what had happened throughout it. I was very confused but after talking through it I finally got it. I really liked the short story “Casey at the Bat” and want to read more by the author Ernest Thayer.
From,
Jennie Igielski
