Casey at the bat

 In the story “Casey at the Bat” the author shows figurative language with hyperboles, similes, and personification.

One way the author creates imagery is by using  hyperboles. For instance  when Cooney died at first . This creates a tone of over exadderation because they didn’t really die.

Another  way the author creates imagery is through the use of  similes . For instance It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell. This creates a tone of silence  because it sounds scary but it is a figure of speech.

The hyperboles and similes effected the overall piece by over exaderating to grab the reader’s attention. Also it affects it by comparing two things of a different nature that both have something in common.  Those were two parts of figurative language that effected the story

Casey at the bat shows that in the end they didn’t give up even though the task at hand seemed hopeless. That is a good example of real determination. Instead of giving up Casey gave it his all for his himself, audience, and most importantly his supportive team.
