I enjoy playing the sport softball which is why this poem interested me the most. It communicates the thought and idea of playing the sport, the excitement you get, and sometimes the disappointment. My pictures in my poem represent some of the key things the poem was talking about. I have a picture of a person getting struck out, a catcher catching the ball and a picture of a person slamming the ball in the air with his bat. My final picture shows the feeling of baseball. It shows how people come together to watch the game that they love. 

I picked Slam, Dunk, and Hook because I love the game of basketball and it really speaks to me. I picked the pictures that I did because it represents basketball and some of my favorite all-time players. The poem communicates to me that players are driving and doing all these moves that no one knew they had but they still did them. Amazing finishes and shots have been taken in the game of basketball, dunks and different moves to score is magnificent to me. My pictures represent that the poem’s message is related to the tricky moves that they do to score. Also, the things that they do, no one even knew that they could pull off but they still did.

I picked the poem “Slam, Dunk, & Hook” because I enjoy to watch and play basketball. Basketball is a very hard working sport that takes all your effort and this poem really helps to understand that. This sport is more than just passing the ball around and trying to make a basket. This poem communicates that basketball takes dedication, hard work, and all you got. The picture in my collage represent all the work and joy you get out of this sport and it really catches the eye. I love watching basketball and especially my favorite team in all and that is why I really enjoyed this poem.

I picked Jabberwocky because while we were reading it somehow drew my attention. The author used very interesting words that he made up in this poem, like brillig, toves, gyre, grimble, wabe, mome, and raths. Carroll uses figurative language to show to you what is going on in his poem, to communicate. It might be difficult to understand what sometimes he is saying.  I used these pictures because it shows you what a Jabberwock looks like. Also it shows to you why in the poem they were told to stay away from it.

The reason I picked “Bells” was because the poem had so much meaning, from being happily married to someone’s death. The communication that I felt from the poem, was joy from the silver bells happiness from the wedding bells danger from the alarum bells and sadness from the iron bells. The pictures that I picked for my collage represented the different types of bells, that the author had wrote from tiny silver bells to iron bells I didn’t want to pick just on type of bells because all the poems are better together.

Also it communicated all of the great times I have had while playing baseball. The pictures I chose represent the poems message because they express some of the things that the poem was talking about.
